It may seem daunting, but let me assure you: this is what you do. What unfolds is a truly massive story, taking into account evolving AI, traitors amongst us and a fight to decide what is going to help the future of humanity. In any case, your squad of four Desert Rangers is sent to investigate what got Ace killed.
It’s a little confusing, because Vargas is a holdover from the original Wasteland, but Wasteland takes place (technically) about 70 years after the events of this game. General Vargas, leader and head of the Ranger Citadel, tasks you with taking up his cause. In this case, it seems that a fellow Ranger by the name of Ace was killed while trying to do some recon and set up some seemingly important but otherwise mundane repeater units in the radio tower. Things may be a bit more brutal than they once were, but there still needs to be someone to keep the peace, however skewed that idea may be. You’re placed in the position of a squad of Desert Rangers, the new face of order and law enforcement in a changed and evolved world. Wasteland 2 takes place approximately 14 years after a nuclear war between the US and Russia finally happened and decimated the world over, but especially North America. But, as you’ll soon find out, either through this review or first hand experience, Wasteland 2 finally bucks the meme that’s been regurgitated for over a year now: not every game is perfect for the Switch. And, by all accounts, Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut, is a marvelous and fantastic sequel/prequel to the original game. After all, TSR had been making plenty of awesome D&D inspired games for years (especially the Dragonlance entries), but fantasy has never appealed to as large an audience as straight up sci-fi. Setting the stage of a post-apocalyptic America that’s controlled through bartering, muscle and fear, Wasteland opened the door to bring some of the more niche elements of the tabletop-style PC games to a broader market. Wasteland 2 is the sequel to one of the godfather of modern western RPGs, Wasteland, which came out way back in 1988.
