Listening to your character shout battle-cries when enemies appear is an amusing twist. The economic bent of the game, selling goods in various places for a large profit, can be redundant and boring at times. Fortunately every time things seem to be dragging along random bandits will attack, helping break up the monotony. The controls are a little stiff and sluggish, which creates some problems of its own. Combat can be fast and furious or long and drawn out depending on your play style. With the ability to customize their vehicles in many ways players can create heavily armored tanks with powerful weapons or lightning-quick cars loaded down with machine guns. The variety helps keep the game engaging for players, but the smaller problems can become irritating over time. If the developers are able to smooth away the small imperfections, Hard Truck: Apocalyptic Wars will be an outstanding title.
