Protect The Citadel, Defeat The Orator - Badlands Crew Coming In 2024
Space Crew was one of my favourite games that’s come in for review; so thrilled to see that Runner Duck and Curve Games are back together for the upcoming Badlands Crew – the third in the trilogy (if we’re counting Bomber Crew).
A rogue-lite sim set in the aftermath of an apocalypse, the goal is to become a legend of the Badlands by protecting the innocent people of The Citadel, defeating a bunch of marauders led by The Orator. Like the games before, there’s a high level of customisation, but you’re operating a land vehicle this time.
Key features in Badlands Crew include:
- NEW! Build and customize your battle wagon to suit your mission objectives and playstyle.
- NEW! Land-based setting with environmental hazards (giant sandworms, acid rain storms, lava flows and more!)
- NEW! Four unique enemy factions – Gun Nutz, Pyros, Klowns and Vultures, each with their own unique weaponry, combat styles and strategies.
- NEW! Dynamic and evolving campaign map where players can pick their own unique path and campaign strategy to shift warlord influence throughout the campaign.
- NEW! Deep crew customisation – evolve your crew’s skills, abilities and perks to complement your battle wagon’s unique design and capabilities.
- As always in the Crew series, intense vehicle management! Command your crew to drive, navigate, repair and fight to survive.
Here’s the announcement trailer:
If it’s anything like its predecessors, Badlands Crew will be great. It’ll be coming to Steam first in 2024, with consoles to follow.
