Darkwind: War on Wheels

Darkwind: War on Wheels is a simultaneous turn-based, physics-based vehicular combat game set in a post-apocalyptic world. You manage a gang, train its characters, design cars and scavenge for parts, then compete in races and combat leagues or take on battles in the wilderness.

Turn-based vehicle combat

The game includes turn-based racing and death-racing with multiple cars, as well as combat involving up to 20 vehicles. You control speed and steering and can fire weapons from up to eight points on a truck. One example is leading 10 trucks through a slaver ambush in Badlands, where coordinating their actions would not be possible in real time.

Gangs and competition

You can make your fortune in racing, deathracing and arena combat leagues. In the wilderness, you can enter multiplayer battles with pirates, traders and other players.

Economy and survival

You trade for parts, cars and weapons in a dynamic economy. Characters age, suffer permanent injuries and can die. Weapon statistics and combat account for physics, critical hits, injuries and healing, as well as psychology and leadership; the game also includes permanent character death.
