inXile Entertainment's Brian Fargo isn't wasting any time bringing his plans for a Wasteland reboot to fruition, as tonight he's even announced that original Wasteland designer Michael Stackpole has signed on to design the reboot, as well.
KeenGamer: "Where has the cRPG genre gone? The classic and complex genre has found its way from obscurity into the world of the massively popular Nintendo Switch. Can these old games (and their subsequent successors) get a new lease on life with the hybrid console? There's a number of signs that point to yes."
I do think handhelds are great for classic-style games, so why not CRPGs? The Switch is definitely ideal for that.

Well, I highly recommend Kingdom Come: Deliverence, and Planescape Torment, if you have an Xbox.
The first being one of the freshest, most in-depth open world RPGs I've played in a long time. Just a great game in general. Planescape Torment is simply a classic, with amazing writing, great character progression that actually affects the world, and a lot of player agency on how you tackle things. You also get Icewind Dale. Also a great game, but not nearly as good, in my opinion.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of good games offering the sale for the PS4, unfortunately.

I'm gonna have to start staying away from these type of articles since there's always a chance I'll buy at least 2 games and in the current state that the world is in, I'm about to be a father so i gotta prioritize my son but goddamn I'd buy at least 5 games from this list.
Mutant Year Zero (shown), is a good little game if you like Xcom style combat.
I hate to be pessimistic, but this'll only take off if it's a PC-focused game. Most console gamers are hardly aware that three other Fallout games (the spiritual successor to Wasteland) existed before Bethesda's Fallout 3, and after seeing the reaction that most console gamers had when X-COM was announced as the "old school surprise" in Game Informer, I was once again reminded that most people don't care about old-school franchises.
I remember playing this game on my C64 when I was a kid in the late 80's. It was one of the first CRPGs I ever finished. A remake of this game could be really good if done right, but if they do to it what they did to Bard's Tale last gen, it'll be very disappointing.
