Absolutely insane effort from such a microscopic dev team, this is a phenomenal case of worldbuilding and strategic combat that builds out everything I wanted from an isometric fallout successor, while also having the longest playtime of any CRPG I've played (1.8% of players have actually even beat the game according to steam achievements).

But be warned, this game is brutal, certainly the hardest game I've ever played, making something out of yourself in this bleak setting is going to require you to fight for it and choose those fights carefully.

Also, too much of a wiki game in some places, it has that open-ended quest design that relies on picking up very small hints that make you feel like a genius when it does work out, but result in you spending 2+ hours walking around trying everything and ultimately capitulating when the hints don't click. Just go on the wiki if you don't get something, they try to hide spoilers, but make sure to at least give the hard quests a shot on your own, because some of them easily beat classic fallout's best.
