The game of my childhood, which I got along with one Czech gaming magazine from my dad. It was my very first exposure to the post-apocalypse genre and it was a pretty damn good one. The metal menu song from Darkseed, the cloaked hero with Uzi, stealing, drugs, wide range of modern weapons, the barter trading, the clans and gangs of wastelands, hunting of wild game, rusty cars, lack of fuel and ammo, big world with many memorable locations... it all created a powerful atmosphere that made me fall in love with post-apo as a whole.
If the game is played through normally without tutorials and with a few side-quests, it comes out to quite a long play time. Plus the quests tend to be very creative. It has an interesting combat system, which makes me come back to this forgotten German creation once in a while. It is real-time tactics system with active pause, set in a squad RPG. The only thing this system reminds me of in feeling is the space FTL, which I also like. In my opinion it has much better gameplay flow than turn-based strategy because you don't have to take the uninteresting parts of fight slowly. There aren't RTT squad RPGs on the market, but there is a flood of TBS squad RPGs.
I've played it many times and still have a strong sense of nostalgia for it. It may be unpolished in some places but the characters, locations, music, plot-twists and creative quests, interesting mechanics and overall atmosphere makes this a quality post-apo game that definitely deserves its place on GOG
I played this game at the same time as one of my best friends back when it first released. We gave each other tips and talked about how we solved quests. Had rants about the bugs too. This friend passed two years ago and somehow the themesong to "The Fall: Last Days of Gaia" came back to memory while browsing other postapocalyptic rpgs. This title definetly needs to be preserved since the devoloper behind it is gone too.
As a little kid who played Fallout 1 and 2, I always felt a sense of sadness after finding out that the studio was shut down and their next Fallout project was cancelled in 2003. Then, out of nowhere, posts started appearing online promoting this game. The game looked exactly like what I thought a 3D Fallout 2 game should look like, with quirky humor, desert wasteland scenarios, and even drivable vehicles. Some time passed after those posts, and I completely forgot about the game until I found it bundled with a popular gaming magazine. I immediately bought the game—with my parents' money—and spent countless days messing around and trying to build the ultimate squad that couldn't be defeated. There are plenty of interesting quests to do, fun characters to meet, squadmate banter to enjoy, and a wasteland to explore. In fact, I enjoyed messing around so much that it took me around 2 years to beat the game for the first time, because I had so much fun restarting the game over and over with different character builds. While the game definitely suffers from being an overly ambitious project, it is impressive how many different mechanics and quests with interesting solutions there are, especially when compared to games like Wasteland 2, which came out a decade later. One of the main reasons I want this game on GOG is that it can't be purchased anywhere; its developer went bankrupt, and the IP is in the vault of Koch Media (at least as far as we fans know). I would love for people who have never seen this game or heard of it to experience it and maybe have as much fun as we did for so many years.
