What is Wasteland 3?

You customize up to six Rangers, manage a base and vehicle, recruit allies, make faction-shaping decisions, and fight turn-based tactical battles.

What players say
85% of 22,423 reviews are positive · 73% of 71 in the last 30 days
Players praise the turn-based combat, character building, writing, humor, and decisions with meaningful consequences. The dominant complaint concerns unresolved game-breaking bugs, especially world-map encounters that cannot be completed, frozen turns, and save or DLC problems; several players say these can halt a run and that official updates have stopped.
