The depopulated world and the long commutes between towns and missions make it feel vacant and primitive. Hard Truck: Apocalypse looks boring by big-budget standards, but it has the same appeal as a good B-movie: It's cheap, it's weird, and it never pretends to be anything it isn't. This budget-priced role-playing game leads you through an easy routine of "deliver this" and "kill that" quests, while your real objective - aside from avenging your dead family - is to make money to pimp your truck. As you drive your first truck - a farmer's jalopy that's as much fun to steer as, well, a farmer's jalopy - through the countryside, you may be soothed by the blue skies and amber waves of grain, and while an occasional raider gets in your way, the tempo stays low-key. But in Hard Truck: Apocalypse, the devastated landscape looks more like Iowa. Five basic models of truck are available, and all can be customized.įrom the title, you might expect cloven-hooved truckers with flaming arm hair, biker chicks in spiked leather thongs, and endless roads paved with human skulls. The game's driving action is designed for fast-paced vehicular combat, while exploration and upgrades provide elements of adventure and role-playing. Brigands and pirates haunt the open spaces of the post-cataclysmic Earth, and they won't hesitate to attack anyone who crosses through their territory - especially anyone who might be hauling a load of valuable goods. Set in the desolation of a devastated planet, Hard Truck: Apocalypse challenges players to make their own way through the wastelands, earning profits from dangerous deliveries and investing in truck weapons and armor to support even more daring runs. It's not easy for a truck-drivin' man in a world gone wrong.
