Dull, stale, infuriating, and really pointless. I like this kind of game, but when my peeps starve or freeze to death because resources are sent to the wrong building, it kinda makes it pointless. Logic went out the window. 3 hours, and felt like i was just treading water. Deleted.
This is a game I missed when it first came out. Something just didn't charm me into buying it. Thanks to GOG I got that second chance. I don't regret buying it now, just maybe more that I never back then. As good as it is, and it's addictive and quirky, it feels lacking in something, some magic, and maybe that is more about it belonging to a previous generation of games more than it not being exceptional. The music is good, graphics look dated but still playable. Animations are surprisingly as good as we get nowadays, and in the case of Mass Effect Andremda, far better! It's simple to pick up, easy to play, and a fantastic game. I don't however find it funny, that was a selling point, people found it funny. Maybe I'll get my funny bone checked out at Two Point Hospital when that comes out... I just feel like It's missing some gameplay, or time has caught up with it. I've spent many an hour on the world map wondering if that is all there is to the game once your base has max occupants and you're waiting for the challenge bits to be accessible, moving the sttory/events on requiring hitting certain infamy levels and due to this it feels a bit grindy. I'd recomend it to anyone that had it back in the day as it's still addictive and as good as most games out there, I feel that my review is scored on the fact that after 2 decades of hearing how awesome it is, I still don't see it maybe for what others do, a classic.
People forgot all about this game. Even those that bought Fallout ignored this tactical masterpiece. yet it was just so much damn fun. Playing it allowed me to think about what I did before I did anything. Who to have in my team, where to position my team, who takes out whom, close range? long range? It just offered so many options and it was all the more better for it. A one-off in gaming at the time, and more so nowadays when you can leave your brain well away from the game, cos ya don't need one to play games anymore. If you loved fallout, buy it. It's not an RPG but it is Fallout. 100%.
