The gameplay itself reminds me very much of classic Fallout games, or Desperados if you remember that wild west adventure. You’ll move around an over world map by selecting where to go before exploring your destination. There are towns,…

Upon launching the game, you’ll notice that there’s no option to start a new game, only to continue which seems a bit odd, but if you go with it you’ll be dropped straight into the game. You sit in a dark cabin across from a figure swathed…
