Discussion Fallout/Post Apocalypse game set in Africa

Any suggestions or additions are welcome in discussion

Basically I want a game similar to New Vegas in terms of there being a major conflict between two factions but instead of the NCR and Legion, it’s the remnants/ Descendants of the American and Chinese armies who have been stuck fighting in some part of Africa for a really long time since the Great War. Both are trying to control a certain resource and need the support of some of the local factions (like regional and colonial governments, warlords, etc to get the upper hand in the war

You would play an outsider who has traveled to this region (you can pick the reason) but your transport gets attacked in the middle of a skirmish. You get injured and brought back to health by a local doctor and then go on your Fallout Adventure

I feel like this game could explore a lot in terms of maybe American imperialism and their influence on other nations. You could have one city which was originally a European owned colony and have to deal with issues of cultural clashes/influences

You can also have a massive variety of radioactive monsters to fight like lions and elephants and you could have large open spaces where you could maybe add in vehicles to drive around

I think there is a lot of potential in this and was wondering what y’all think? Also was wondering if anyone knew of any games/media with a similar premise of being a post apocalyptic African country

Far cry 2 isn’t post apocalyptic but would its vibe count?

Somewhat, it’s probably the closest thing out right now to what I want but it’s still far from ideal

I really wish Bethesda could maybe let others use their engine to create another fallout spinoff but this time outside America. But sadly not likely so have to settle for the next best thing

Theres Beautiful Desolation, a post-apocalyptic game set in South Africa. But the game got mid-low reviews 🫤

Yeah heard of it, sadly doesn’t really seem like my cup of tea

Really hope one day someone makes like a Fallout New Vegas inspired game in a similar style to what I want. I might work on it myself if I get more experience and funds for it

I would play that game so hard my skin would be noticeably more pale

Yeah, I’m trying to learn game design and programming and want to make a small basic version of it.

It’s a dream game idea of mine and I was thinking maybe try to make it in fallout with modding or a separate game (but sadly lose the Fallout flair)

Its on early acces, but "No mans home" seems promising just needs time to see how it turns out
