Auto Assault takes the generic style of MMORPGs and adds its own spin to it. It combines vehicular combat with traditional RPG elements, taking place in a "post-apocalyptic future in customisable cars, motorcycles, semis, and even tanks." Your vehicle cannot ‘die’ in Auto Assault, merely being rendered ‘non-functional’, and having a ride back to the repair station, all in the name of speeding up the action gameplay.
