  • Post-apocalyptic setting
  • Turn-based combat
  • Choices with consequences

A quirky pixel-art RPG across a post-apocalyptic wasteland that blends dark humor with grim, disturbing moments. Forced moral choices cost you party members, limbs or strength, making every decision genuinely painful.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter

A party of several characters

An unconventional JRPG with no overworld: in a bleak underground world you plan movement and attacks with action points, while scarce resources and the D-Ratio system keep constant pressure on you.

Wasteland 2

Post-apocalyptic setting

A classic turn-based party RPG set in a nuclear-ravaged desert, where you lead a squad of Desert Rangers and your decisions noticeably reshape the regions you visit. Tactical combat and a wide skill system give it depth.

Wasteland

Post-apocalyptic setting

A 1988 classic in which you lead a squad of Rangers through a nuclear-ravaged America, using tabletop-style skills, turn-based combat and a surprisingly reactive world. It is the forerunner of the Fallout series.

Atom RPG

Post-apocalyptic setting

A loving Fallout-style successor set in a Soviet wasteland, with turn-based combat, open-ended character builds and plenty of meaningful choices, all laced with dark humor and Eastern European flavor.

Encased

Post-apocalyptic setting

An isometric sci-fi post-apocalyptic CRPG in the spirit of the late-90s classics, set in a sealed-off zone full of artifacts from a vanished civilization. Turn-based combat, character building and meaningful decisions define the experience.

Vagrus: The Riven Realms

A party of several characters

You lead a trading caravan through a realm abandoned by its gods and ruined by an arcane cataclysm. Trade, logistics, text-heavy decisions and turn-based fights blend into a bleak mix of strategy and RPG.

Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game

Post-apocalyptic setting

The classic that defined the post-nuclear RPG: as a Vault 13 dweller you roam irradiated California, solving problems through talk, stealth or turn-based combat while your choices reshape towns and factions. Dark humor meets a bleak, open wasteland under the pressure of a ticking clock.

The Banner Saga 3

A party of several characters

The finale of the Norse-inspired saga pairs tough turn-based tactical battles with a bleak, hand-drawn tale of a world ending. Every choice about supplies, allies and sacrifices noticeably shapes the fate of your caravan.
