“This really would have been a neutral review. This is a small game, with low production value and a low quantity of real content. Gameplay is very plain and monotonous, and there's a very high level of reuse in the…”
“I actually thoroughly enjoyed the game. It gives a reason for most any upgrade you make, any design you like. My biggest fun with it is the progression, the freedom to build, and the pretty easy to use controls. I…”
“This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kicks ass How does this amazing product have *mixed* reviews? Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me? This game has everything! You recruit doods, you build a battle truck, you drive from one point to another and…”

“Fun indie niche game, I think it is worth $15AUD. + Map feels large, I've spent 5 hours in game driving around and still have fog of war. + the truck building system is a fun aspect. + Game looks clean and runs smooth…”
“My first Runner Duck Crew game, and it's very fun! From looking at other reviews I agree every now and then the semi open world missions, and progression can occasionally drag on a little. But you're never rushed and…”
“Kinda like a great sitcom with an ok start my first few hours weren't amazing then I got hooked. This game and bomber crew have become some of my favorite games that feel like a complete experience in ~40 hours.…”

“Amazing game if you love the Mad Max franchise. Very fun upgrade and customization mechanics. The controls take a little getting used to but it's 100% worth it”

“Got this game as a little thing to play and kill some time. Was very pleasantly surprised at the gameplay and quality. It's very fun, addictive, and keeps sucking me in wanting to play more and more. I went in not…”

“I really like the premise of this game, and I really enjoyed Space Crew, but there's something about this game that misses the mark for me. The biggest changes from the previous game: It's open world instead of being a…”

“It's... boring? Giving more buttons to press made this game overloaded with a ton of things that add nothing but more microcontrol. Truck building is also boring and adds nothing of interest and value If it was more…”

“RTX 5080 for resolutions (3440x1440): Cyberpunk - 150 fps; RDR 2 - 150 fps; Alan Wake 2 - 150 fps; Black Myth: Wukong - 150 fps; Badlands Crew - 40-75 fps + freeze :) Its JOKE?”
“-escort mission NPCs that move slower than your high speed, but faster than your medium speed -your gunners will all constantly hyperfixate on something in the distance and ignore the dozen enemies ramming into you…”
“Perhaps the most fun of the three "Crew" games. If you enjoyed any of the previous two, you'll probably like this one. I believe I'm about two thirds of the way through the campaign, for reference. Unfortunately, it's…”

“For anyone saying this game is abandonware and not worth the money. It took me roughly 35-40 hours to complete the main missions, not counting the extras. The game is worth it. Not hugely polished but worth the money.”
— a player, Steam review · 46 hrs played“Classic Crew game, what will they think of next. 5 quid on submarines or something nautical”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“6/10 Feels like an early access game that was rushed out too early. While the other crew games were more about managing resources and crew while reacting to situations that cross your path, this one is more about building and driving. Which is funny, because it feels more like…”
