About game
Post-apocalyptic settings keep you on edge because every decision could be your last. Wasteland puts you in the boots of a wanderer fighting to survive in a harsh environment where resources matter more than gold. You gather scrap and parts during dangerous expeditions to keep your home base running. Text-based challenges use d20 dice rolls to determine your fate based on your character stats. Strategic management of your medical bay and workshops determines if you thrive or crumble under the pressure of mutant attacks. Every quest requires careful planning since pushing too far into the sector risks losing precious loot. Hardcore mechanics punish greed, so knowing when to retreat is a vital skill for any survivor. You can play Wasteland right now in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
The game is fully controlled by clicks (mouse) or taps (on mobile).
1. Base (Your Home)
This is your safe haven. At the base, you can heal injuries in the med bay, manage your inventory, equip found gear, and build useful upgrades using collected materials.
2. Expeditions
Go to the "Sectors" tab, choose a location, and set out. To advance through the Wasteland, press and hold the exploration button. The further you go, the more valuable the loot and the more dangerous the enemies.
3. Events and Checks (D20)
During outings, you will encounter text-based quests. Choose your answer wisely! The system rolls a 20-sided die (D20). A roll of 20 is a critical success, 1 is a critical failure. Upgrade your gear to raise your stats and pass checks more easily.
4. Combat and Escape
If your health is low, it's better not to risk it. Press the "Flee" button to return to base and keep the Scrap and Parts you've found. If you die, some of your loot will be lost forever.
