I like not just CRPG, but specifically scifi and/or post apocalyptic CRPG. I’ve replayed the first two Fallout games umpteeth times. Wasteland 2 and 3, while being tactical CRPGs rather than singular character driven ones are high on my list of great games.
But I’m looking to diversify. I know there are many Fallout-likes, but figuring out which are worth my time is difficult. So what have you?
UnderRail is always recommended but it also looks kind of impenetrable to understand.
ATOMRpg was fun at first when I tried it, but after a while my character simply couldn’t pass any speech checks and I got stuck wandering around the map in frustration.
I haven’t tried Encased. Reviews are split, with a lot of critique of the end game. I have no clue if it’s been worked on.
Colony Ship looks super interesting but I won’t buy it until it’s done.
Shadowrun is awesome. Id start with dragonfall though rather then the first game, since the first game is a lot less fleshed out. There are also some very well done user made campaigns that add full game length stories
Is Hong Kong supposed to be played last?
They are all standalone stories. I think Hong Kong was the best one. Really felt like I bonded with my crew.
