About Nuclear Drifter
Nuclear Drifter is a single-player, open-world role-playing game with turn-based combat. In 2289, you play as a farmer whose well has dried up and whose animals have no water. You leave home to search for a new water source in the post-nuclear world of the mythical continent Old Zeland.
Missions and factions
You can take on over 20 missions commissioned by NPCs in different parts of the map, with extensive dialogue options. You can choose to join one of two factions: USA soldiers or settlers from Old Zealand. Which faction you can choose depends on your reputation with it.
Places and dangers
The map includes five settlements, including one on an island, as well as a bandit camp and an abandoned subway. Its enemies include rats, poisonous scorpions, wolves, strong cyclops, zombies and hairy rhinos.
Daily life and survival
A day-and-night system affects the settlements: some houses close at night to simulate NPCs sleeping. You can cook meat on a stove or over a fire, repair devices and disarm bombs.
