Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 30 sampled reviews raised it
Although the game can be completed within an hour, it's combat system is thought provoking, making you spend more time theory crafting as to what might be the most optimal way to demolish this 1hp slime, or how to get out of deadly situations through clashes.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 30 sampled reviews raised it
All in all a more than solid first attempt at a shot at Project Moon style combat.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
5 of 30 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, Wastelanders has set up a great foundation for its gameplay and story and I can't wait to overthink my combats more with the content Studio Lilac will release for their next update.
