Now this looks very interesting! Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is coming to Steam. Mutant:Year Zero is a post apocalyptic RPG that has been around for quite some time.  :smitten:

Yeah looks good. But....not sure I could take anything seriously where my character was a duck ... be better if it was human..

Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

A duck protagonist? What will they think of next?
A superhero movie about a talking Duck from outer space that is directed by George Lucas?  :))

It's too bad they skipped over the original mutant themed content and went straight to the goofy furries stuff found in the later release.  :-\

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden will be released on December 4. Christmas will come a bit early for me!

"A duck with an attitude problem and a boar with anger issues; these aren't your typical heroes. Get to know Dux, Bormin, Selma, and many other characters each with their own unique personality and deranged perspective on the world and their situation."

I'm delighted to wait on Mike to play this and give his impressions.

But if you are waiting for a very good post-apocalypse RPG - buy Underrail.  It is the best update of Fallout 1 & 2 I've ever seen.

Started watching a let's play video this morning. Looks strong. Everyone compares to Xcom however I see the gameplay more like the old Jagged Alliance games.

Insert witty comment here.

I've heard it's extremely linear. True?

It's too early for me to say how linear it is. It's not an issue for me since I've played the RPG this is based on. My first impressions are good. The post-apocalyptic feel and artwork are outstanding so far. This review seems spot on.

Their quote on it being open world:

Mutant Year Zero is a semi-open world. XCOM randomly generated its encounter maps, but Mutant Year Zero's team handcrafted theirs. This makes it possible for players to see enemies before they engage them in combat and use silenced weapons to pick off the stragglers. A clever player can make an encounter easier by taking out enemies on the fringes before engaging. There's also a greater emphasis on pre-combat positioning.
