Wastelands
-
Version
1.0
You wanted a kick-ass action game and you got it.
Action, action, and more action - that's a motto for
the new post-apocalyptic humans vs robots blockbuster
shooter called Wastelands created by Reflector Studio.
The scenario is common for this kind of games -
nuclear war, destroyed cities filled with the remnants
of once magnificent sky scrappers, rusting cars and
the cyborgs that went nuts and started killing people.
The first ones had an average intellect that of your
coffee maker, but as time passed, they learned to be
shrewd and started to gang up on innocent humans. Your
mission is to save the humanity. That's where the game
takes a sharp turn from the hundreds of similar look-
alikes.
Ever wandered why so many experienced gamers prefer
old 2D originals to their feeble 3D sequels? You've
got to play Wastelands for the answer. Ok, fine, I
will tell you - action, action and some more "bring it
on, I just hope I have enough ammo" action. Whereas
the other games start you out with a dagger or a
pistol, you go through the initiation with a real
blowtorch. Cool - let's make a hot dog out of one of
those brainless stainless steel monsters. And the game
will give you plenty of ways to send the robots to
their cyberhell - with grenades, flamethrower,
gaussgun, laser and other weapons. After playing for a
week, you surely will have to use all of your
imagination to come up with a new way to surprise
yourself and your friends. But where is the will,
there is the way.
Your opponents - they deserve a special mentioning,
too. These metal bastards aren't as easy as they seem
at first. There are 21 levels in total (including over
150 action screens), each with a unique twist. As you
will soon find, it takes a lot of out of the box
thinking to just stay alive, let alone outsmarting
numerous robots, turrets, miners and kamikaze-bots.
