Some of the larger vehicles are even armed. Creators are free to include muscle cars, trucks, buggies and other such post-apocalyptic hardware in their maps, fully driveable. Unlike earlier versions, you can play entirely solo in missions featuring mutant and robot enemies, controlling a full squad by yourself.Īs with Fallout Tactics, vehicles are also part of the strategic blend. While more of a gimmick than anything (at least according to Fraser's early review), you can even create a dog character, capable of doing most things, although obviously not able to wield guns. You assemble your characters using a point-buy system, with extended play opening up more equipment and character options. With the release of the full version yesterday that seems less of an issue, as it now includes solo squad command (real-time with pause style) and a bevy of co-op modes, user-made solo missions and bots.Īt its core, Dustwind still seems to be a multiplayer-focused game. Fraser Brown took a look at it while it was in early access, and found an intriguing web of systems, sadly under-populated.
I'd like to think that Dustwind's developers agree, as their game bears more than a passing resemblance. Yes, it had its balance and structure issues, but it had an interesting combat engine. I've always thought that Fallout Tactics got an unfairly bad rap.
