Steam review snapshots
A toxic, barren wasteland (drawing inspiration from the UFO afterlight storyline) where what remains of humanity gathers together in small underground shelters…A post-apocalyptic setting with tons of room to explore.I liked the story, I liked the combat system well enough: simple, not hard to understand, functional, and I even got very…That said, this game looks pretty stunning in both its presentation and utilization of these old pixel graphics.Why it fits
