Just snagged this little beauty for $5 on Steam. Awesome game, and nicely challenging.

I highly recommend it. Its 50% off right now. Well worth it IMO.

Its a pity that the devs weren't given the time to implement the turn based combat feature. As it is they put in a token version, but the producers rushed the thing out the door before it could be finished (odd considering it was integral to the series at that point). Without that I could never really get into the game, nor how odd some of its random numbers were (being able to stand right in front of someone, aim and then fire a LMG and miss every shot ...repeatedly). I would say though it seems like the game was big on the Russian modding scene, so if you're looking for anything substantial that's probably where to look ( I didn't manage to find many decent mods for the game, but put that down to it being disliked by the original game's community).

I think the real time combat is still decent, although I wish there was a pause action button so you could micro manage better.

Might wanna check out wasteland 2 if you like fallout tactics. It's also 50% off on steam currently. I'm enjoying it so far.
