Hard Truck: Apocalypse
Ex Machina
Release Date: December 8, 2005
Steam
Hard Truck: Apocalypse is a quite unusual combination of RPG and action racing games created by Targem Games studio. Unusual, because we drive not a character, but a powerful vehicle. The authors focused on postapocalyptic atmosphere, and the player's task is to try to find the remains of the lost civilization.
The plot puts you in a post-apocalyptic world.
You enter the reality of the year 223 since Great Cataclysm. The world we knew was erased as the result of a mysterious accident. In less than one hour the most part of the world population disappeared. Those who survived try to adapt to new conditions. There are new cities and settlements with trading alliances and mobsters. The vital transport hubs are controlled by gangsters and pillagers. Hence, armored heavy truck drivers have become the only resisting force against the shadow elements.
You are to drive through dangerous regions of the new Earth with its mysterious places and hostile habitants. Your ultimate goal is to reveal the guarded secrets of the lost civilization. Your heavy truck is the only hope. You will need it to travel, earn your lining and fight your way through the perilous areas. It's crucial that you continuously upgrade your truck. Your ability to equip smartly your iron buddy will make or break the success of your journey. So, go to towns and villages, trade with them, help them and you are sure to raise the cash required for powerful weapon and new gadgets.
The action and the RPG elements are closely intertwined to create a stunning game experience:
the action part embraces the driving, chilling combats with the use of wide range of destructive weapons;
the RPG part allows you equipping your truck to flee your enemies from battle field.
Unveil the fate of the mankind. Joining with powerful allies come over the resistance of deadly enemies.
