Unlike other massively multiplayer games, Auto Assault from NCSoft and NetDevil won't make you play as a comely elf fighting skeletons or rats for handfuls of copper coins. You'll instead roam a postapocalyptic wasteland version of planet Earth in the wake of devastating alien attacks. Now that the aliens seem to have lost some of their sway, the last remnants of humanity (and reasonable facsimiles) have begun to reclaim the surface of the world--and not with friendly peace treaties or clearly-marked signs. The only thing the aliens (and other races) understand in this hostile world is heavily armored dune buggies with flamethrowers mounted on either side. No, this isn't EverQuest, it's more like Mad Max online.
