As a Fallout fan, particularly fond of Fallout 1 and 2, I'm hearing about this game for the first time. Has anyone played it before?
After seeing this, I'm grateful Bethesda got involved.

Never played it myself but I remember seeing it alot in game stores at the time. Never ever realised it was a Fallout game until this week too. Even after playing Fallout 3 still never connected the two.

Aye I've still got a copy on PS2. If you enjoy the likes of Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance then it should be right up your street

Yes, recently I‘ve been collecting Xbox games and as I was looking for top down hack n slash, I got my hands on title such as both dark alliances. But also Dungeon and Dragons Heroes AND Fallout brotherhood of steel.
They all share the same graphic engine and iirc, brotherhood of steel is the last to utilises It. The game itself doesn’t share many things from the series, don’t expect deep rpg systems or Fallout lore of any sort.
It’s a rather short game and repetitive by design but somehow charming and addicting just like dark alliance. You’ll be making your way through dungeon maze, fighting and looting. The writing and story is as cheesy and edgy as you can imagine. The type of game you can kick back to on a Sunday morning with a coffee and makes it through the end by the evening. Cool little hidden gem.

I just learned about this yesterday on a ranking list of the fallout games. This was in last place.

Yeah! I remember this! I loved Dark Alliance and this was well up my street. Such a shame it was shit. My love of ARPG's persist though!

My roommates played 100’s of hours of Campions of Norrath (and its sequel?) and I have never seen anyone on the internet mention it, ever.

I wish Norrath came to Steam. Don't think they will port it ever.

Isn't this one of the things that killed Interplay?
I mean Fallout 1 and 2 were amazing and they followed it up with Tactics (decent but a massive departure), and then this trash that shouldn't bear the Fallout name.
Producers/Studios were making the same stupid decisions back then as today (Rocksteady....)

No one is saying it's a complete disaster. I remember enjoying Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance on PS2, so this game has started to catch my interest.
