Wasteland Remastered updates the 1988 role-playing strategy game that defined the post-apocalyptic genre. Players control a Desert Ranger in the post-nuclear American southwest, tasked with protecting survivors from raiders, mutants, and a new, sinister threat. The game's narrative emphasizes player choice, with decisions impacting the world and its inhabitants.

This version boasts completely overhauled graphics, sound design, and an expanded musical score. It includes the original game's physical storybook, now presented in-game with illustrations and voice-over narration. Long-standing bugs have been addressed, and quality-of-life improvements, including controller support, enhance the playability of this seminal RPG.
