How it feels
A slow, tense, and punishing tactical fight where every move and shot counts in a desolate wasteland.

What players say
Players call Darkwind a one-of-a-kind turn-based vehicular combat game with permanent death for crew members that makes losses sting. It has a steep learning curve, a clunky interface split between a browser and a game client, and a very small player count. Fans of Car Wars and Mad Max find it compelling despite its age and rough edges.
