❤ Character Customization and Development

At the start of the game, players create their own leader character, choosing from a variety of origins such as Scavenger, Marauder, or Tribal. These origins provide different starting stats and bonuses. Players can also customize their leader's appearance and distribute points across key attributes like Initiative, Hit Points, and Damage. As the game progresses, players level up their leader and recruit new raiders to join their band. Each raider has their own set of specialized skills and abilities that can be further developed through a robust leveling system, allowing players to create a diverse and complementary group.

❤ Base Management and Expansion

Players must manage and expand their raider hideout, constructing various buildings like a brewery, siege factory, and holding pens for prisoners. Each building provides unique benefits and unlocks new gameplay mechanics and options. Carefully balancing resources, including food, water, and alcohol, keeps raiders happy and productive. Capturing specialist NPCs, like engineers and counterfeiters, also provides valuable bonuses.

❤ Raiding and Conquest

The core gameplay loop involves extorting, attacking, and pillaging the various settlements, industries, and caravans across the wasteland. This turn-based combat system requires players to strategically deploy their raiders' unique abilities and equipment to overcome defenders. Successful raids and conquests allow players to loot valuable resources, capture prisoners, and expand their control over the region, fueling the growth and development of their raider organization.

❤ Procedural Generation and Replayability

The game features a fully dynamic and procedurally generated map, ensuring that each playthrough offers a unique experience. The layout of the wasteland, the placement of settlements and industries, and the availability of resources all vary from game to game. This, combined with the various customization options and strategic choices available to players, contributes to the game's overall replayability, as each attempt to dominate the wasteland can unfold in drastically different ways.

❤ Feedback and Progression

Players frequently receive feedback on the impact of their actions, both from their own raiders and the wider wasteland. Decisions made during the game can have significant consequences, such as provoking the ire of the New Governmental Authority or inciting rebellions within conquered settlements. As the player progresses, they unlock new technological advancements and powerful weapons, like nukes and napalm, which can be deployed against their enemies, providing a sense of progression and the ability to become an increasingly formidable force in the wasteland.
