Wasteland

Wasteland is a role-playing game set in 2087, 89 years after an all-out nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union devastated large areas of Earth. You play as a Desert Ranger, investigating a secretive threat to humanity in the lawless remains of the American Southwest. Your choices have persistent consequences and shape the world around you.

The wasteland

Survival means contending with thirst, hunger, radiation sickness, raiders and mutants. Desert Rangers are lawmen descended from a U.S. Army detachment that survived the nuclear holocaust by sheltering in a maximum-security prison. They wear ragtag uniforms and carry makeshift weapons, and are the only law left in what was once the American Southwest.

Investigate the threat

The danger you investigate is more secretive and sinister than the usual bands of mutants and raiders. You recruit help and follow leads as you try to uncover what is menacing humanity. The wasteland is a lonely place, and your decisions affect the world and your chances of survival.
