Our take on wasteland of east
The game replaces a conventional wasteland RPG structure with chess-like turn-based firefights, scavenged-item production, and four career identities. Its altered history and 1980s clothing also give the post-nuclear setting a distinct period frame.
What is wasteland of east?
Set in northern Huaxia after a global nuclear war, this pixel-art RPG follows an expatriate operative ordered to repair an information cable damaged by a nuclear bomb.
Exploration involves collecting firearms, local junk, and other resources across a dangerous wasteland. Combat follows a turn-based, chess-like format with knives, guns, and ammunition. Materials can be dismantled and combined into weapons and props. Four career choices include commando, salesperson, spy, and scientist, while a hidden profession can be discovered. Keyboard controls cover movement, dialogue, searching, menus, and quick item access. The developer notes that magazines cannot be replaced during fights, animation frames are limited, and the game contains bugs related to its solo development.
