This was just released from early access. Post-Apoc isometric RPG, specifically made to resemble the early Fallout games.

Curious whether it's reported UI oddities were addressed before coming out of EA.

Jeebus from that screenie it looks like either a) a fan made mod or B) a direct rip of fallout 1/2

I've been eying it for a while.

Has anyone actually tried it?

From the sales blurb, I think b).

Not a "direct rip" AFAICT.

Definitely inspired by, but I doubt it's the same content.

I actually prefer isometric RPGs over first/third-person ones, so I've had this on my watch list for awhile.

^With Pillars of Eternity I have discovered I feel the same way. So I finally bought Wasteland Director's Cut during the Steam sale and will be playing it finally very soon. Not sure why I love isometric view so much...God it's been a while since I have felt like such a dork. At least 5 minutes.

While Wasteland Director's Cut had some good mechanical improvements, they seem to have made the camera view worse. Looked different than the original release, and not so much in a good way.

Still the same game, with some extras. Didn't think they needed to "fix" that part though.

If you enjoy stuff like PoE, you'll pick it up easily.

Isometric is just so much easier to manage IMO. Less twitch, more strategy perhaps? Helps that the combat in isometric games is often turn-based or has a pause+order option. For us old gomers.

And old gamers :)

I never played the original Wasteland 2 so I couldn't know the difference in camera technique.
