About This Game

Uncover the Wasteland’s secrets… and find your mom?

A catastrophic meteor strike brings civilization to the brink, covering the planet’s surface in an alien substance known as the Waste. A sole beacon of civilization, the city of New Haven stands alone amongst a desolate Wasteland, held afloat by harnessing the Waste’s extraterrestrial power and defended by an intrepid force of explorers and researchers – the NITES. But all’s not well in the desert, and in the wake of her mother’s disappearance, Jackie, a young NITES hopeful, is determined to follow in her footsteps and uncover what’s really out there in the Wasteland.

Key Features

Dual-Deck Synergy: Each weapon deck boasts a unique theme with a powerful identity-defining buff, like the Staff's Flow and the Pistol's Accuracy. Draft skill cards from two weapon decks at once to assemble the combat deck, harnessing their unique buffs to discover devastating synergies within the web of carefully designed tactical possibilities. Selecting the right cards allows you to chain together devastating combos, dish out damage, and prevent your enemies from retaliating during a Clash.

Unique Turn-Based Clashes: Meet your opponent’s attacks head-on by countering their moves with your own! Gone are the days of standing idly by as you politely wait for the opponent's attacks before you make your own. Opponents go head-to-head on the battlefield with their attacks, forming Clashes where only the strongest move connects! Consider the order of your actions carefully to sequence buffs, blocks, and combos to ensure enemy attacks never stand a chance at landing. Offense is the best defense! Learn to exploit Clashes and the Waste creatures will never stand a chance against you.

Fully hand-drawn pixel art: Wastelanders showcases a modern twist on the classic 8-bit pixel art.

Bounties: Added challenges for completing the main game which reward you with even more cards to add to your arsenal and extra story. Who knows, completing the bounties may hold even greater boons...

Immersive narrative: Experience the story of Jacqueline "Jackie" Page and leave your mark in the pages of New Haven. Adventure into the Wasteland, defeat Waste creatures under overwhelming odds, and find the traces left behind by Jackie's Mom. The Wasteland hides its secrets well deep in its alien landscape, but the NITES hide something even more horrifying within the walls of New Haven. Perhaps the two are more entwined than they let on.
