Wastelander
In Wastelander, you must build a colony in order to survive having crashlanded on a desolate alien planet after your ship was pulled into the atmosphere by a mysterious force. Barren and devoid of life, you must build a colony and explore the planet, uncovering the technology and secrets of an ancient civilization long gone.
About this game
Wastelander is a turn-based strategy game where every turn counts. To survive, you must plan and make the right decisions as you expand your colony and explore the planet. Search for technological remnants of the ancient civilization that once inhabited the now barren wasteland to unlock new buildings and abilities.
Balancing exploration with expansion and defence is key to survival. You will need to ensure your colony has enough power to function but also keep expanding, while minimizing the damage the relentless storms cause. With each passing storm increasing in intensity and destruction, your basic defences can’t hold out forever.
Start from nothing
Starting with nothing but the scattered remains of what was once your spaceship, you must begin to build your colony, expanding bit by bit. In the beginning, you will only have a limited amount of basic buildings available to you, to get your colony started. As you explore and uncover ancient relics, deployable technology and new blueprints you will be able to build more advanced and complex structures to aid you in your mission.
Build an Economy
Harvest resources and expand your base. Connect to alien ruins and abandoned supply drops to unlock new buildings and technologies.
Master the Wasteland
In order to survive, you will need to master the wasteland. Understanding the dangers you face and how to defend against them is key to your survival. Each building, deployment, ability and item has its unique uses. Mastering their distinct advantages and disadvantages while learning to adapt to availability will help you immensely. Wastelander is easy to pick up but difficult to master.
