What players say
Great game, nice graphics, everything about it is good! Character advancement is very interesting and fun. Cool weapons. Love it! A+ 9/10. It's on sale quite often, so I'd wait for the sale.

Turn based post apocalyptic rpg that set the pace for all others in genre with one of the original fallout designers (pre-Bethesda). Dark humor, dark moral choices, great skill choices and play.
i had a great time. the director's cut is worse than the original though. after playing through both, i've experienced more bugs in the director's cut. while some extra voice lines and graphical updates are nice, they really messed up the menu system, and why does every vendor have infinite scrap? its the apocalypse but every merchant has an endless supply of currency? silly.
