With the recent and continuing success of driving simulator games (such as Gran Turismo and Need For Speed) and other games that involve driving as part of the gameplay (such as Grand Theft Auto), it seemed inevitable that we would soon see an MMORPG with driving as its signature. Auto Assault, created by NCSoft and NetDevil, delivers just that.

Auto Assault combines many gameplay elements that have never been seen before in an MMORPG with a host of familiar features. The combination is user-friendly, straight forward, and entertaining.

Auto Assault is based on a post-apocalyptic world that has been divided into three races: Humans, who are generally responsible for this apocalypse, Mutants, who have been transformed as a result of the apocalypse and have come together to help “transform the planet”, and Biomek, a group of humans who have embraced biotechnology and cybernetics to survive the unforgiving landscape. Each of these three races starts the game on their own part of the map, and each has their own story to follow.
