Off to the wasteland Skyshine's Bedlam combines a couple of modern gaming mainstays: permadeath, and a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It's a game about making it across this wasteland to the rumoured utopia of Aztec City. But it's not just you, you have...
By Hooked Gamers onSkyshine's Bedlam offers an addictive tactical experience where player choices affect how the game and story plays out. The randomized events during each playthrough make choices fresh every time you start a new game. It also gives the game a solid...
