Waste Walkers

horrible

Really solid nuclear post-apocalypse RPG. I had a good time going through the world, scavenging for supplies and fighting. If you enjoy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Fallout and are familiar with RPGmaker games, you'll like this game too. I've yet to play through the DLCs yet, but they look promising as well! I'd give this game a 9/10. Definitely among the top-tier RPGmaker games I've gone through. Even though I set my playthrough on hardcore, it felt pretty easy from start to end. It had its moments of difficulty -- like [spoiler]encountering both gun-type bandits, pyros, and bombers[/spoiler] -- but the biggest spike in difficulty was in the optional arena questline. Still, you have PLENTY of methods to counter enemies and grow really powerful against them. Like Fear & Hunger, knowing your enemies makes fights against them really manageable. Story-wise, it's short but pretty immersive. It may be a bit predictable, but that's nothing against it. [spoiler] This may be me wishing for a happier end, but it would be cool if you could actually save your family from Snare without them dying. Then, you could have them live back in the eco-center once you finish claiming it as your own colony.[/spoiler] It's to give you a primary goal laid out, alongside the side-quests and other activities. Even once you finish the main story, there's still a lot more you can do in the game -- lots of people still could use your help, after all. The base-building part was a surprise to me! It's nice being able to hire a hazmat crew to treat your lingering radiation! Just wish the travel guide could take you there from the other colonies. That would've made it feel like the eco-center is more involved as a "spot of refuge" for people to seek out. Oh, and major props to Corrosive Studios! They're very active when it comes to support and helping out with people's issues. I got stuck on one of the quests near the end, and they were able to get to my discussion post really quickly! Plus, the Steam guides are helpful to familiarize yourself with the game or get hints on where to go. I'd recommend the game for that fact alone, honestly.

This is a post-apocalyptic CRPG made with RPG Maker. I am not usually into these games but I really like post-apoc scenarios. This game is fun to play, has a story with multiple quests you can work through if you want, or you can just walk around hunting in every box and every wrecked car to gather all the items in your base. It's made by one person and was their first commercial game so don't expect an amazing AAA RPG like Baldur's Gate 3, but this is pretty decent and well made for what it is.

This is a great little game (meaning it is not hundreds of hours long)! It plays fair (did not have to check for hints) and has a lot of fun content. I bought all the DLCs as soon as I finished the main quest. Kudos to Corrosive Studios.

It's a great game. Took me a few deaths in the beginning figuring out which "build" (talents etc.) I wanted to lean more to. There will always be room in my heart for these low bit games. I like the speed at which you level and weaponize at. Seems pretty balanced that way for progression. -If this type of game is not your cup of tea, don't play it and thumbz down. The down review is for crap games left to die and or with bad dev's. Regardless of your preferred genre. Thumbz downing a game because your old arze potato can't play when 11k others can is also an idiot reason to so.

First off, this is an RPGM (RPG Maker) game, or at least extremely similar to one. So if that isn't your thing, then you may not like this game or its play style. That out of the way, I enjoy this game. It's got a fairly familiar story to those who play post-apocalypse games, but it is approachable and feels fairly fleshed out so far. I know I have little time played at the time of this posting, but it's a game I'll be coming back to again and again (unless something explodes in a bad way in the game). You explore a wasteland that is fairly open world, meeting people who ask you to do things both helpful and dubious. You collect supplies you can use or sell, while following quest lines. All fairly familiar tacks for RPG-style games. The graphics are pretty solid for an RPGM game. Combat is present but as the game tells you right off, it's not the preferred play style cause, surprise, you aren't a superhuman in this game. You're an average person trying to survive extraordinary events. If you like RPG games, exploring, some survival, and post-apocalypse, give this game a look. For its price, it's a pretty solid buy.

Post apocalyptic looting, combat, gear, crafting, exploring and varying missions in a nice-sized map. All in RPG maker style!

This was the second title by Corrosive Studios that I played, the first being Lawless Lands. A simple Indie RPG in a post nuclear apocalypse setting. I put in around 12 hours to finish the main quest and side quests. Was worth my $3.

- So fun to play, rating 86/100

Games with postapocalypse setting has a special place in my heart, and this one had been on my radar for quite a while before I finally bit the bullet and bought it when it was on sale. I also snagged the two major DLCs with two new stories in the same purchase. At the time of review I have just beaten the base game and the two DLCs after a total of 58h, and leave the game with only 6 achievements left to get (which require specific dates or a DLC I do not yet own). I can only echo what others have already said. This is no exceptions THE BEST game on the RPGmaker engine. There is some "RPGmaker-clunkyness" in the userinterface, but that didn't bother me much once I got into the game. The base game is more free roaming and sandbox-like and you can discover things and do quests in whatever order you happen upon them while the two separate DLCs are shorter but more story driven. One thing that I didn't notice until way later, was that buildings can have entances from all sides. One survivor colony (in the base game) had a really great store right at the entrance, but I never noticed the door until I was about to beat the game (because it had entrance from the left) and then I had little use for the cool goods that store was selling. The base game took me the longest to complete. Only once did I look in the forum for hints to one quest. The two DLCs are in my opinion better structured as they have story progression, but because they are also much shorter they also don't last very long. If you are into JRPGs and like a dose of bleak post apocalypse you may take a liking to Waste Walkers.
