The wasteland doesn't need another hero...
  • Extort, attack and pillage greenhouses, rock quarries, and other industries of the wasteland in order to gain the resources required to build up your forces.
  • Interact with, loot, or capture settlements and industries, spreading your reign of terror - captured settlements will need to be run with an iron-fist in order to ensure they remain under your control.
  • Do battle with local mercenary companies sent to stop your rampage in a grid-based 2D combat system.
  • You are the fearsome commander of the your raiders; the boss. Engage in duels, terrorize both your men and your enemies, and build your physical and mental attributes toward the eventual goal of total domination.
  • Hire, manage, equip and level up your raiders.
  • Fight other raiders organizations for control over the wasteland.
  • Kidnap hostages and either execute them for infamy or ransom them.
  • A fully dynamic and procedural generated map ensures each game is different.
  • A running economy that you can disrupt and eventually conquer: the local industries such as greenhouses, rock quarries, garbage scavengers and more supply the settlements with resources, which in turn make them grow and generate finished goods - all for you to either extort or take through force.
  • Build up your hideout, including holding pens for prisoners, a watering hole for recruiting new raiders, a brewery for much needed alcohol, a vault to protect your ill-gotten goods from internal graft, a siege factory for building city-breaching weapons, a counterfeit shop, and more.
  • Capture specialists such as engineers, jesters, lizard hunters, bartenders, counterfeiters and more in order to build up your operation.
  • Fly the mural of competing raiders in order to cast infamy away from your own organization.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Interesting idea... The combat looks a bit derpy though, in first glance

Expecting the usual recipe: plenty of promises, with only a few of them actually making it into the game. The game will be literally abandoned immediately after release, just like the rest of the titles.

Reminds me of the Caravaneer flash game. Why the fuck did it take someone so long to create something like it?

Sounds like they didn't sent the letter (yet). https://steamcommunity.com/app/972010/discussions/0/2259061617895058022/

I do appreciate the warning. I'm a one-person development studio and have always looked up to Brian Fargo. That said, the title is not in any way attempting to be connected with his game series; it's simply a conundrum of the fact that there are only so many words from which to describe a "post-apocalyptic desert setting where a scattering of people struggle to eke out a modicum of survival". I suppose I'll have to see what transpires.

One would think this seems a little bit stronger case than "Don’t Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland", since it's used as a keyword in the title here.

Maybe because they were stripped of the legal muscle after the Microsoft acquisition.

"Wasteland Raiders" is now "Raiders!"

Microsoft was about to reach out over the trademark on the word Wasteland, so I opted to change the title before receiving an official letter. Sorry for any confusion. This was the title I was going to use before ultimately going with the other, so I'm okay with this. In a way, it's bit reflective of the old "Pirates!" game that came out in the 80s (and its remake in the early 2000s).

Raiders incoming!

Oh and it's now published by CreativeForge for some reason.

I like Raiders! as a title. Pirates! is a good game to try to leech off a little energy from. I immediately feel warm and fuzzy about titles a !
