Get it on sale. It's a GOOD game, but can get VERY repetitive. It's fatiguing trying to remember which cities need what and which resource they are full and empty of.

It didn't appeal to me, but it might appeal to you. For the price offered, I can't give a thumbs down.

Incredibly good. Trade and build an empire in a zombie infested world.

安いので許される懐かしい感じのゲーム
正直言って出来はかなり雑でグラフィックはあえてそうしてるんだろうなってくらいに低レベル、ただUIはもうちょっと何とかしてほしい
交易システムは２０年前のパトリシアン３を彷彿とさせるけど、はっきり言ってそれよりも出来はかなり悪い
最初の２時間くらいゲームの全容がわかっていない時はちょっとドキドキして面白いけど、なれたら完全に作業だし待ち時間が多いのでだるい
最近こういうゲーム無かったのとお安いのでギリギリお勧めできるかな～
とにかく期待せずに気軽に触れてみてほしい

exactly the mad max trader sim i needed. Surprising amount of depth with real choices, agency and goofy little stories along the way.

TLDR; Definitely worth $8, though it is far from perfect.

It's not perfect, there seems to be some systems that aren't fully fleshed out and it's starting to look like it's not going to happen as there hasn't been any word from the dev since October. That being said, I absolutely got my $12 worth out of this game. My playtime isn't accurate as I have another 78 hours played on the xbox version, and even though the xbox version is riddled with bugs and errors, I still played it for 78 hours on there. I look forward to someone creating another game like this and really dedicating the time to finish it. There is so much potential left on the table.

The gas station letter delivery mission made me tear up. The missions for the first map are quite polished and well written. The DLC map isn't as strong mission-wise but a lot bigger to build ur dustland empire, the first map has tons of side story and hidden stuff.

I really enjoy this game, and the fact that I've logged over 50 hours within just a few days of buying it should show as much. I have quite a few notes for the devs and for players.

1. The initial difficulty curve is effing brutal. Most players are going to quit within their first 30 minutes as there is basically no effective guidance on how to be successful. I will break this down.
a. There are no in interface tooltips, particularly on the character screen that explain what various stats do, or why you might want one stat vs. another, or what decisions might mean beyond the posted skill checks in the "choice" screens.
b. Save scumming is encouraged. Any game that makes you feel like your quicksave/quickload keys are part of your toolbox is doing something wrong. Why even have, for example, various grades of crafting results? Instead, have it so your results are directly tied to say, "how far over a certain level of crafting" your crafter might be. The RNG on crafting, especially given how resource heavy it can be, has resulted in me personally spending many sections of my game time hitting quicksave/quickload to save scum for
"legendary" crafting results. I can assure you from the multitude of posts on the internet that this is not a rare strategy.

2. Player choice. You have very limited control over your starting character, but it would seem to be in your interest to, in every instance bar trying to do a "bad guy" play, to build your main driver up to be a speech dude. While I'm sure that there are people who will disagree with me, in my experience having a "main character" with high speech and some driving traits seems to be the easiest way to play an otherwise difficult game.
a. Factions. Why does it feel like I'm picking a buff?
b. Factions PARTE DOS. Why does my faction choice have no associated questlines?
c. Factions III: Why do the mil-sec and the dustwolves hate each other? Why is it not talked about outiside of "you picked this side so other side no likey you now."?
d. Factions SECTION 7980-6b: I just completed a Mil-Sec questline on the second map, and while I was aligned with the faction, joined, with a rep of 100, the quest did not respond to those facts in any regard whatsoever. Why are things like this not considered in the game?

3. Player agency. I understand having quest events that have right and wrong answers, but when those events are presented with little to no guidance in advance on what the correct vs wrong choice is, you wind up with yet another reason to abuse save scumming behaviors. Before I go into any "quest zone" I always slap that quicksave, because I do not want to wreck my current play because the game decided that, IN THE GAME HELP'S OWN WORDS, "a decision that worked last time might not work next time." This means that a LOT of your choices are under the perview of the RNG, which means they literally mean nothing. If the point is to encourage players to think about things, but the correct choice is determined by a hidden dice roll, was there really any choice in the first place? I want to think there was, but outside of a few obviously scripted events, it seems to fall under that RNG category in over 3/4 f all occasions. I cannot go much further here without spoilers, so I will leave it as.

4. Endgame? While the game does not end when you complete the main quest, everything seems to grind to a screeching halt at that point. Far better for some sort of ongoing play, or the ability to import your previous characters AS THEY WERE, or some sort of roguelike elements to keep things interesting for future playthroughs. I am on the second map now, and while I was having fun on the first map, once the main quest was finished I felt little desire to remain and continue to play with those characters. My connection to them was minimal if not purely cosmetic, the game offered me nothing to incentivize a continuance, and no bonus for a future play. This game SCREAMS for some sort of roguelike elements, especially given the high-failure nature of it.

While this seems like I am unhappy with the game, I merely want it to be better. The concept is great, the loop is fun, and I am sure I will get ~100 hours out of it, there seems to be little to no reason to replay completed maps beyond "hey that was fun lets do it again" nostalgia trips. There is a great concept here, but it is hindered by lack of vision towards what it *could* have been. I do hope the developers are still working on this title, and if they should happen across this review, PLEASE know that I do enjoy what you made, I merely see what it could still become.

Edit: A second thought, this game also seems like it would very easily adopt procedurally generated maps. Something else for development consideration.

8.5/10 overall, big recommend from me on this one if you enjoy the genre.

Extremely repetitive, the constant resource anxiety makes it hard to afford upgrades and you are almost constantly slowed to a crawl by weather and terrain which burns up your resources even faster. If you try to wait out any kind of weather you get attacked by infected and since you've spent all your scrap on fuel it's impossible to fight of infected without losing crew members.

6/10 Decent game but wouldn't recommend because it's very unpolished. It's a quality of life nightmare and the trading system which should be one of the core systems in this trading sim is unrealistic and easily exploitable, which breaks immersion.

This is one of the games, where I wonder if the devs only sell this game or play it themselves....

... oh, and why am I pulling this smaller truck, right from the beginning?!

This game has a huge amount of content for its price. I’d never played a game like this before so it was nice to branch out and find myself really enjoying this game.

Рекомендую! Игра очень похожа на "Космические Рейнджеры", только в постапокалиптической атмосфере. Если учесть, что новых "Рейнджеров" мы никогда не увидим (печаль), то это весьма неплохая альтернатива. Немного корявая графика, но геймплей затягивает.

Very middle of the road (pun intended hehe) balancing is crazy, grind gets overwhelming very fast and I didn't find the motivation to tackle all the content use the DLC I had already paid for or even beat the game. On the other hand, it does something interesting from time to time and it is quite cheap so buy at your own peril.

It isn't as deep as I expected when I bought it but it was quite straightforward nonetheless. Story takes too much of a focus in a game that I believe would do better with a wider sandboxy aproach.

UI might need some getting used to, at least while playing on a Steam Deck, and another complaint I have is the font size, extremely small at times and it doesn't even offer options to make it bigger (readable).

Some aspects are very counterintuitive; why lose standing with a faction when you show interest in hiring someone BUT before doing so (and also not knowing beforehand their stats). Also, some mechanics make you wait and waste time for no benefit or engaging reason at all (why isn't there a "wait until sober" button for example).

Found an exploit that allowed me to get infinite money, yeah I know, players' fun shouldn't need protection from themselves, not a complain to be honest, just a comment on a funny situation more so. Even with the exploit, grinding felt absolutely unbearable at some point. The amount of materials needed for crafting equipment gets ridiculous if you want to fully equip a team of 2-4 people not even mentioning if you think about defending cities and building them up.

I am afraid, that, in general, the game left me with a very sour taste.
