You wanted a kick-ass action game and you got it. Action, action, and more action thats a motto
for the new post-apocalyptic humans vs robots blockbuster shooter called Wastelands created by
Reflector Studio. The scenario is common for this kind of games nuclear war, destroyed cities
filled with the remnants of once magnificent sky scrappers, rusting cars and the cyborgs that went
nuts and started killing people. The first ones had an average intellect that of your coffee maker,
but as time passed, they learned to be shrewd and started to gang up on innocent humans. Your
mission is to save the humanity. Thats where the game takes a sharp turn from the hundreds of
similar look-alikes.
Ever wandered why so many experienced gamers prefer old 2D originals to their feeble 3D sequels?
Youve got to play Wastelands for the answer. Ok, fine, I will tell you action, action and some
more bring it on, I just hope I have enough ammo action.
Whereas the other games start you out with a dagger or a pistol, you go through the initiation with
a real blowtorch. Cool lets make a hot dog out of one of those brainless stainless steel
monsters. And the game will give you plenty of ways to send the robots to their cyberhell with
grenades, flamethrower, gaussgun, laser and other weapons. After playing for a week, you surely will
have to use all of your imagination to come up with a new way to surprise yourself and your friends.
But where is the will, there is the way.
Your opponents they deserve a special mentioning, too. These metal bastards arent as easy as
they seem at first. There are 21 levels in total (including over 150 action screens), each with a
unique twist. As you will soon find, it takes a lot of out of the box thinking to just stay alive,
let alone outsmarting numerous robots, turrets, miners and kamikaze-bots. Thats where the bonuses
come in handy infocubes, shields, repair kits and so on. But the best way to achieve a victory is
to interact with the other units on a playing field the game provides you with this option, too.
One final word the music, which is an important part of all action games, is amazing. All four
original tracks (three in the trial version) will pump up your adrenaline and awake the primal
instincts in you.

What do you get if you cross Fallout with Terminator and a top-down shoot-em-up?
A bloody demo of Wastelands, that's what! No you silly rabbit, it's got nothing
to do with that ancient RPG thing...
this is Wastelands with an 's' at the end!
It's different! OK? Can you handle that, punk?!

Guys, this Wastelands game is fantastic fun! Please, PLEASE tell me it has
multiplayer. This game is begging for some good multiplayer. If you've
ever heard of Soldat you know what I'm talking about.
Either way this is tons of fun! Great gameplay and great music too!
