Kill, drink, and kill some more in Wasted, a roguelike post-apocalyptic pub crawler set in a lawless wasteland that lives and dies by the rules "Get wasted, or get wasted trying."
When a thermonuclear blitzkrieg bereaves America of its greatest minds, the very hardiest specimens of humanity cling on to life. From the ashes of old America, a new world emerges, and an ersatz, post-apocalyptic, stillborn 80's continues indefinitely, populated entirely by the toughest, meanest, and outright dumbest of God's creations, the Wasters.
WASTED: A Post Apocalyptic Pub Crawler isn’t a game I would recommend to everyone, it’s heavy on the roguelike design and this would put off many, even if you are a massive FPS fan. The frustrating side of a roguelike is that death can come from any corner. What makes WASTED worthwhile is the visual style, gameplay, and humour. It makes for an excellent...
If you can handle the crude and immature humor, and you’d like something a little more lighthearted, you could definitely do much worse.
A clever take on two worn genres, Wasted is a funny and addictive genre hybrid that has scores of content at a low price point.
All in all, WASTED is a very strange and very fun experience. Its irreverent tone, action-first play style, and 1980s-infused over-the-top themes, there’s a ton to love.
You will die in Wasted. You will die a lot, it is a given. But thanks to its easy-to-learn, enjoyable gameplay, great use of roguelike elements and perfectly implemented Thunderdome-esque 1980s atmosphere, you will easily find yourself coming back again and again, ready to cough up more extra lives like the the arcade games of its era.
