In Monster Wasteland, your mission is to complete objectives that ensure you survive the harsh Wasteland winter. These tasks require you to engage with different gameplay aspects like settlement building, weapon crafting, and even nonviolent Monster manipulation. In the end, you'll decide what approach fits your playstyle best and mold your experience to suit your path to victory.
You'll also assume the role of Fearless Leader and engage with strange and harrowing narrative Tales, which you must resolve to determine the fate of your followers, Factions, and even the Wasteland at large.
Even the map is modular, and can be rearranged anew every game for an extra bit of customization.
Monster Wasteland's Factions each feature Heroes that boast unique abilities suited for confrontation, resource gathering, building, and more. Each Hero has a number of Followers to aid in their journey, and strategic placement of these units is key to survival.
You'll also encounter massive eldritch Monsters that are always on the hunt, looking to destroy the Factions and Settlements and continue their reign over the Wasteland. You'll need to find ways to dispatch these beasts through building distractions, traps, or (if you're lucky) weapons.
Monster Wasteland is partially inspired by the deep strategic map-crawling of 4X games. But unlike a game of Civilization, there's no world domination in the Wasteland - the Monsters will always live to fight another day. So as a tribute to its adjacency, we loving refer to this game as a "4-S" game: Sneak, Salvage, Settle, SLAY!
