How it plays
Fallout is a role-playing game set in the devastated ruins of a golden age civilisation after a nuclear war. You build your character with the SPECIAL system, which the publisher says allows very different types of character, meaningful decisions and development that leaves you in complete control.
As you explore the wasteland you meet mutants, gangsters and robotic enemies, and you choose whether to talk, sneak or fight your way past them. Decisions matter: the publisher warns that the wrong ones can leave you as another fallen hero in the wastelands.
Steam lists it as a single-player game.
