Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Will Bring Post-Apocalyptic Turn-Based Strategy to Switch

Looks like the kind of game I could get right into. It received some great reviews on other consoles, the PS4 version has 80% on Metacritic. With this and games like Outlast 1 and 2 on the way,it's looking really promising for 3rd party games. Just like Outlast 2/Wolfenstein 2 and Doom too, it's also a current gen port.

It's great having a console that's relevant haha. Long live the Switch.

Yeah, I heard of this earlier. I didn't even know what this game was before, but after looking at some reviews and gameplay I can safely say that I'm very much looking forward to this. Apparently it plays similarly to the first Fallout games.

I was interested in trying this out when it first came out. Looks like I'll finally be able to play it.

YES! Closest I'll get to portable Fallout 1/2.

I played this on ps4 and despite it being very good, it was very obviously a pc game originally because all of the text was so small as to be almost unreadable from a distance. They'll really have to mess with all of that for it to work in handheld mode.

Now that we have seen what they can do with Skyrim I really hope to see Fallout 4 for the Switch. I’m not sure I’d buy it as I have already played it to death on the Xbox but I think it would be awesome for those that haven’t had the opportunity to play it yet. I got that chance with Skyrim and I really loved being able to play it where ever I happened to be.

Looks cool!!

It sounds interesting. I hope to hear more about this game in the future. (please review!)

This. This is what I wanted on a Nintendo console.

While I could play this on my PC (Albeit with poor performance), having this on a nintendo console is amazing.

Can't wait to own a switch.

I won’t lie, I was hoping more so that divinity original sin 2 was the first rpg like this to come out on the switch, but this is a poet I will gladly take. Hopefully if it does well we may see the divinity games and those other rpgs come to the system.

@Stu13 Fargo followed up with a tweet saying the same company that ported Bard's tale to Ios and Android are doing this, so, at the very least this company has experience taking a pc game and getting that text to read well on a small screen.

Fantastic. CRPGs are another genre I was hoping would make the switch!

Portable Wasteland 2 sounds too good to be true.

looks interesting.

I had a passing interest for this on PS4 but having it on Switch may be what I need to make the plunge. I really liked Fallout 1 on PC and this should scratch that itch quite nicely, and on the go as well

Not gonna double dip on this one but still giving high recommendations if you haven't played it. A bit sceptical on the portability as there is lots of small text to read.

As much as I love Fallout 1 & 2, Wasteland 2 fell a bit short in the long run.

I have it on Steam, but I might give it a second chance on switch, and maybe we'll get Torment if this sells well.
I know lots of people who really enjoyed W2, it just got too 'samey' too fast for me.

@kukabuksilaks woooooo planescape: torment! Gimme gimme gimme! I'm rather sceptical about that happening though.

@Gibb He was obviously talking about Torment: Tides of Numenara (a spiritual successor to Planescape) that inXile released this year (roughly at the same time as Zelda was published, which gave me a headache back then ^^).

Fargo was asked a while back to bring this "current" Torment to Switch, but replied that this would be the completely wrong market. Torment is mostly about reading, so maybe not the best fit for a portable console (at least that seemed to be Fargo's logic). Mind you that this was said a while back, even before inXile was given a Switch development kit.

And yes, wooooooooooooo Planescape: Torment (my favourite game ever, see my avatar ^^).

Great game. But I’m worried about performance issues. Because PS4 had problems running it.

After what Fargo said about them bringing Torment to the Switch, I find this pretty funny.

@Janus1986 He made the comments before the Switch had released. A lot has changed since then. I think the Switch is a better fit for Torment than the Xbox.

Fallout 3 confirmed!

Seems interesting! I like turn based strategy. I'm waiting the new Fire Emblem game but this seems OK! I have played xcom2 in ps4 but I have abandoned it. It is too hard! Maybe I will change difficulty and start over, I don't know.. I hope this will have normal difficulty..

@Stu13 @Androgunther
Someone made a comment on Twitter that if this port was even half as good as the Bards Tale port for Android, we're in for a treat.

The developer responded by saying the same studio who did that port is handling Wasteland 2 for Switch.

So I imagine text size will be adjusted.

I already have the game on PC, but this is awesome for Fallout fans who haven't tried it yet.

Bought this on Steam ages ago but never touch the game in one bit. Will definitely double dip on this one.

"War...War never changes" -Narrator from the Fallout series

Another great game I can’t wait to play for the first time. Switch is shaping up to be the best gaming console ever.

Ok I am old and once upon a time was a PC gamer and the original Wasteland was a cult classic that people crowed about for a decade back in the day. I was pretty excited about the long overdo sequel a few years ago and picked it up on PS4, and like so many games never played it. I did boot it and create a team and start it and it looks and plays solid. Honestly this is just the type of game to be played on a hybrid console like the Switch because it will consume a lot of hours and yet can be picked up and put down easily because of the turn based mechanics. All we need now is Xcom and Starcraft and with this, MRK, D5 and FireE the Switch will be a SRPG beast.

Ah, good news. For those that don't know, Wasteland was a spiritual predecessor to Fallout and Fallout 2 on PC. Wasteland 2 is a recent pc game generally seen as a spiritual sequel to all of those. There isn't anything quite like this on Switch right now. Glad to see it.

This is exciting for me, if more titles like this pop up i might have to get a switch
