An
isometric game featuring turn - based combat and set in a post-apocalyptic western United States, Wasteland 2's strong points include customizability, large parties, decisions that really make a difference (one of my favorite things in an RPG), good dialog and obviously improved
graphics over the original.
But even more than that, Monster Max feels like a send - off to the genre of the Filmation - style adventure
games that dominated the 8 - bit computer gaming scene:
isometric games were made as a work - around for 3D
graphics, which were near impossible to render (let alone do well), and so became redundant when 3D became possible on computers and home consoles in the late»90s.
