Incredible car combat adventures across mysterious post-apocalyptic Europe full of combat, truck tuning, cargo trading, defense and delivery missions, treasure seeking, and uncovering mysteries of apocalypses causes. Several different plots and endings included depending on player choice during dialogues.

An old nostalgia trip. if you wish to play the game do yourself a favor and install Community Patch/Remaster alongside Improved Storyline mod. Playing the game without any community patches will result in constant bricked saves and crashes to desktop.

I honestly wish I could put a thumbs in the middle for this game, cause it isn't necessarily a bad game, but it also isn't that great of a game either. Some parts of the game have sort of odd and kind of bad design choices, and I found myself often hitting invisible walls where it felt unnecessary, especially since you're supposed to be able to drive where you want. Combat was fun overall, but I didn't realize that different trucks had different parts in shops(oops), and the economy system worked but was a little basic.
