You set out across a post-apocalyptic wasteland in a vehicle you assemble and maintain. Explore a procedurally generated world of abandoned buildings, wrecks, caves, camps, and faction bases, navigating with a compass, landmarks, and roads.
Scavenge vehicles and parts, then customize your car by fitting components such as engines, radiators, suspension, and storage. Fight raiders, mutants, and bosses with melee and ranged weapons, or trade with factions and merchants whose stock changes.
Survival means managing food, water, and other supplies as you travel. Butcher and cook animals or mutants, gather resources, and outfit your character with equipment such as armor, a backpack, a flashlight, and binoculars. Your vehicle can also serve as a mobile base for carrying supplies and survival equipment.
Players who enjoy the game often single out the freedom to build unusual vehicles and the pleasure of driving them through a bleak, atmospheric wasteland. Reviews also praise the scavenging and survival loop, exploration, and the sense of making progress through upgrades and discoveries. Others find the stretches between locations empty or repetitive, and describe combat, controls, and overall polish as rough.
