What is WASTED?

A single-player action roguelike set in a post-nuclear America stuck in the eighties, where survivors fight over booze. You explore procedurally generated underground bunkers, scavenge weapons and armor, and fight, sneak past enemies, or lure them into attacking each other. Between runs, you stock and furnish a persistent home.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy humorous takes on post-apocalyptic survival

Not for you if...

  • −you want to keep your character after dying

What players say

79% of 672 reviews are positive

Players praise the art style and dungeon crawling. Common complaints concern awkward inventory controls and pressure to rush through levels, though players note that the pursuing Purifier responsible for that pressure can be disabled when starting a game.
