Wasteland 3

You command a squad of Desert Rangers sent from Arizona to Colorado to secure aid from the Patriarch. His offer draws the Rangers into a conflict involving his children and the region’s competing factions. Explore Colorado, take on missions, and deal with its inhabitants through dialogue, skills, or combat. Battles use turn-based tactics, with positioning, cover, abilities, and squad coordination shaping how you approach a fight. Create and develop a squad of up to six Rangers by choosing attributes, skills, perks, and equipment. Recruit companions, establish a base, and upgrade a battle truck for travel and combat. Decisions can affect Colorado’s factions, inhabitants, and story.

Lead Arizona Rangers across frozen Colorado, building a squad, fighting turn-based battles, and shaping the region through hard choices.
