About this game
This is a free-form post-apocalyptic sci-fi RPG.
Although there is a main scenario, each story unfolds in its own independent way.
Depending on the scenario, you can choose which organization to join, and the ending will change.
You are free to become a champion of justice, be neutral, or even a villain.
It doesn't matter where you start.
Of course, you can just keep walking forever.
Let's go explore the Dixie Wasteland!
◆Synopsis
A repeating war.
A new type of strategic weapon rains down on the world, and advanced civilization collapses.
However, humanity has not been wiped out, and they are desperately trying to survive with what little remains.
However, the world, where order and civilization have collapsed, is now filled with madness and chaos.
Plunder, murder, and other crimes, domination by those with power, and inorganic destruction by runaway machines.
You suddenly wake up in the basement of a former military research facility in the deserted southern United States.
Yes -- in the future... But in the not-too-distant future --
◆Setting
The setting is the devastated southern United States, the Dixie Wasteland.
Abandoned towns dot the vast land.
And subway lines that have turned into dungeons, corporate laboratories, and shopping malls stand in the way of adventurers.
◆System
The game employs a turn-based system that brings back memories of retro games.
You fight turn-based, using firearms.
A unique system called Armor Class is used in battle, which simulates the penetration power of bullets.
It's an RPG system that feels like an FPS game in a turn-based system.
You can also manage your resources and explore the ruins while defeating powerful enemies.
◆Difficulty Settings
You can choose from four difficulty settings: easy, normal, hard, and hardcore.
No matter which difficulty you choose, it will not affect the experience points or supplies you can obtain.
You can also change the difficulty setting at any time.
