DESCRIPTION

Diablo-style isometric action enters a brave new world in Restricted Area, the first North American release from Germany's Master Creating. Initially reminiscent of the classic Fallout, the game is set in a dismal future, where pollution has destroyed the Earth's green places and only mutants can survive in the wasteland wilderness. A weak global government is regularly subverted by powerful mega-corporations, which are powerful enough to do as they please.

As the game begins, four diverse characters meet on a gloomy city street; players choose the one they will lead through the game. The character selected, and the choices made throughout the adventure, will determine the story's conclusion — for better or for worse. Factors such as light, distance, and height influence combat, and AI enemies are designed to make smart tactical decisions based on the appearance of the player's party members and the weapons they carry. As the player's characters gain experience and discover new equipment, they can be upgraded with a choice of 75 different skills, each with ten levels of mastery. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
