This week Epic Games Store is giving away Fallout Classic Collection. It is a bundle that packs three most popular Fallout titles. This giveaway bundle includes – Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: A Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout 1 (1997)
It is a seminal role-playing game (RPG) that launched one of the most iconic franchises in gaming history. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world shaped by a 1950s retro-futuristic aesthetic. The game begins in 2161, where the player, known as the “Vault Dweller,” is tasked with finding a water chip to save their vault from dehydration. Fallout 1 is renowned for its open-ended gameplay, allowing players to approach problems in various ways, whether through diplomacy, stealth, or combat. Its isometric perspective, turn-based combat, and deep narrative choices laid the foundation for future RPGs. The game’s dark humor, moral ambiguity, and richly detailed world earned it critical acclaim, setting the stage for the expansive universe that would follow.
Fallout 2 (1998)
It is the direct sequel, expanded upon its predecessor’s foundations, offering a larger world, more quests, and deeper character development. Set 80 years after the first game, the player controls the “Chosen One,” a descendant of the original Vault Dweller. The Chosen One embarks on a journey to find the GECK (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), a device that can save their village. Fallout 2 is known for its even more complex storylines, filled with dark humor, satire, and references to popular culture. The game introduced new mechanics, including more diverse character interactions, a wider array of weapons, and expanded skill options. While retaining the original’s core gameplay, Fallout 2’s larger scale and increased depth solidified its place as a classic in the RPG genre.
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (2001)
In this installment, they diverged from the traditional RPG format of older predecessors, focusing instead on tactical combat. Fallout Tactics is set in the same post-apocalyptic universe but centers on the Brotherhood of Steel, a technologically advanced faction. The game emphasizes squad-based combat, where players command a team of soldiers through various missions, utilizing a combination of strategy and real-time planning. While it retained some RPG elements, such as character development and moral choices, Fallout Tactics was more focused on military tactics and less on narrative exploration. Though it received mixed reviews, particularly from fans of the earlier titles, Fallout Tactics was praised for its challenging combat scenarios and deep strategic gameplay.
