“Got through the first few single player games, before getting stopped by an error while i did nothing. A good try at the old classic, but if i get 2 different errors while afk on the main menu.. it needs some work.”

“wicked fun. reminds me of the old Scorched Earth DOS era (i think) game”
— a player, Steam review · 71 hrs played“Brings back memories. Agree like old Scorched Earth DOS game. Wish it had varying wind and actual angle numbers and powder/power numbers for more precise targeting, like the old Atari/coleco days. But do love the modern remake of this. Thank you.”
