In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, you command a crew and build a battle wagon to take on hostile factions and help scattered survivors. The campaign sends you across a semi-open map where you choose routes and pursue missions, enemy strongholds, and outposts.
On expeditions, you direct the truck through hazards while crew members man weapons, repair damage, treat injuries, and use their abilities. Combat asks you to balance driving and crew assignments as enemy groups and faction leaders bring different tactics to each encounter.
Completing missions develops your crew and unlocks new weapons and vehicle parts. You can redesign the wagon, equip crew members, and adapt your setup as the campaign shifts control between factions.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight designing and upgrading a personalized battle wagon, developing the crew, and taking it into chaotic fights and wasteland excursions. Some also appreciate the campaign’s progression and exploration. Reviews frequently criticize performance, awkward controls, and repetitive or grind-heavy missions; many also express frustration that further updates will not be released.
Build a Battle Wagon worthy of dominating death-defying enemies! Completely customize your rig from the ground up with a huge range of components such as flamethrowers, sniper turrets, gatling guns, lookout towers, medical stations, wheels, engines, armor and so much more.
As you complete missions, your crew will become more experienced. Use this experience to transform them into a group of elite road warriors with abilities that complement your battle wagon and playstyle. Kit out each of your warriors with armor sets and weapons to increase their chances of surviving to fight another day.
Combat will require you to multitask under pressure! While out on a mission, you must strategize and manage your crew members efficiently to man guns, repair your rig, heal injured crew mates and more. All whilst you drive and navigate environmental hazards and gigantic sandworms.
The Gun Nutz, Pyros, Vultures and Klowns are the savage militia groups that roam the Badlands, each led by a crazed Warlord boss. As you progress, you’ll need to plan, adapt and change your tactics as each enemy faction possesses unique weaponry and combat strategies.
Approach the campaign how you want! Your decisions influence control as faction influence shifts throughout the campaign. Smart decision-making in the heat of battle and planning routes is imperative to ensure you achieve victory while fighting to seize enemy strongholds and outposts.
