Top 10 Best RPGs of 2013

#1 Wasteland 2

Kickstarter has allowed a great many games to gain widespread support and earn funding. It has served as a venue for both indie developers and mainstream ones alike to secure the funds to develop games that would've otherwise never been able to exist through the old publishing system.

Wasteland 2 is one of the games currently in development thanks to funding at Kickstarter. Headed up by the creators of the original Wasteland, the spiritual ancestor of Fallout. Wasteland 2 is proof of Kickstarter's feasibility as a funding platform, as many shared their doubts that the game would even receive funding as its developers had nowhere as much clout as Tim Schafer and Double Fine, who used Kickstarter for their Adventure Game.

Two decades after the release of the original Wasteland, Wasteland 2 is set to raise the bar for role-playing games just as the original title did for the genre way back in the day.

It helps to know that Obsidian Entertainment is also a part of the game's development.

What is it? Wasteland 2 is the sequel to Wasteland, an RPG set in a post-apocalyptic environment. It is a turn-based, party-based game with tactical elements with players controlling four player characters supported by three non-player characters.
