Post-nuclear RPG where you lead a squad of Desert Rangers across a devastated American Southwest in 2087. You start with four characters, recruit up to three more from survivors you meet, and investigate threats to remaining settlements. Combat and skill checks drive progression—pick a lock, climb a wall, or blow the gate with a rocket launcher. Stats like strength and intelligence determine what your squad can attempt. NPCs you recruit don't always obey orders, adding friction other '80s CRPGs lacked. The world persists: areas stay as you left them, corpses included. Expect brutal difficulty and memorably gory combat text. You'll eventually trace attacks back to a rogue AI manufacturing cyborg armies from a military bunker, aiming to wipe out "flawed" humanity.
