“Super worth the price. If you loved games like Caravaneer you will love this. Pros - Trading, Crafting, and Exploration is very well thought out. I had a lot of fun gathering materials and decking out my truck and…”

“Get it on sale. It's a GOOD game, but can get VERY repetitive. It's fatiguing trying to remember which cities need what and which resource they are full and empty of. It didn't appeal to me, but it might appeal to you.…”

“TLDR; Definitely worth $8, though it is far from perfect. It's not perfect, there seems to be some systems that aren't fully fleshed out and it's starting to look like it's not going to happen as there hasn't been any…”

“A lovely, stylized trading game set in an undead apocalypse. The writing is thoughtful and goofy in turns. I love all the silly city histories written just to explain why each city has the item production it does.…”

“This game has a huge amount of content for its price. I’d never played a game like this before so it was nice to branch out and find myself really enjoying this game.”
“The gas station letter delivery mission made me tear up. The missions for the first map are quite polished and well written. The DLC map isn't as strong mission-wise but a lot bigger to build ur dustland empire, the…”
“In 3 days I put 24 hours into it. Its just engaging enough that the one more X phrase turns it head and 2 hours turns to 6. I find myself shipping crew members when I start new crews because I left the other crew in a…”

“If "Watching paint dry" was a video game. You're just staring a truck the entire time. The "tutorial' was awful. NOTHING was explained. It gave you 2 goals, and didn't tell you HOW to do them. Yes, I figured those out,…”

“Extremely repetitive, the constant resource anxiety makes it hard to afford upgrades and you are almost constantly slowed to a crawl by weather and terrain which burns up your resources even faster. If you try to wait…”

“The rudimentary graphics in this game are really misleading because it has a surprising amount of depth that goes beyond simply buying goods and taking them to another location to sell them for a profit. You have to manage fuel, food, water, tires, character relationships,…”
— a player, Steam review · 84 hrs played“I really enjoy this game, and the fact that I've logged over 50 hours within just a few days of buying it should show as much. I have quite a few notes for the devs and for players. 1. The initial difficulty curve is effing brutal. Most players are going to quit within their…”
