1 – Wasteland – Series Bundle

The spiritual ancestor to the original Fallout, inXile’s Wasteland franchise is one of the definitive post-apocalyptic isometric CRPG sagas. The bundle packages together the remastered 1988 original alongside modern tactical powerhouses Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut and Wasteland 3. Command a squad of Desert Rangers across nuclear-blasted wildernesses, navigating deep party customization, dark satire, and unforgiving choice-and-consequence storytelling.

Tactically, Wasteland 2 and 3 feature tight cover mechanics, AP management, and explosive grid-based firefights that will feel right at home for any XCOM fan. Picking up the full series bundle on sale delivers hundreds of hours of high-stakes squad tactics and RPG gameplay for a fraction of the cost at 46% off, so less than 50 dollars for the whole thing.

    Lol. Okay, Sir Nuno, I like what you do, but this list is ridiculous — or rather, the title is. Half the games mentioned aren’t strategy games at all, and only Planetfall truly meets the “classical” definition of a true strategy title; the rest are some of version of a turn-based tactics game.

    Do yourself a favor, and simply delete “Strategy” from the article name, and change it to “The 10 Best Games To Buy At The GOG Isometric Games Sale”. The list will still be a decent list, with the benefit of actually being labeled honestly & accurately.

      I get your point, but for the average gamer, there’s not a whole lot of diffence between what we consider to be a turn-based strategy and what we consider to be turn-based tactics. If anything, they have more in common than not. People often praise Wasteland’s combat, and the RPG elements of Rogue Trader, but in the end, they have 99% of their DNA in common. I have long since stopped discussing gaming genres, because there will never be a definitive answer, especially when strategy is an underlying aspect of all games.
