It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 69 percent. Wasteland 3 ($39.99, scores 64) outscores it, and so does Dead Age 2: The Zombie Survival RPG ($17.99, scores 40). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Developed by inXile Entertainment in collaboration with Krome Studios and published by inXile Entertainment, Wasteland Remastered successfully brings one of the most influential role-playing games of all time to modern audiences without sacrificing the identity that made it a landmark release. Rather than rebuilding the experience from the ground up, this remaster focuses on preserving the original game's mechanics...

I really enjoyed this game, I can understand why people who are used to modern games would have a difficult time getting into this game as it plays like an old game with a fresh coat of paint. as someone who never played the original version I still found enjoyment out of playing through this game.
A remaster is not a remake, which means you get the full experience of one of the foundational pillars of post-apocalyptic CRPGs, with both its charm and its struggle intact.
