Hard Truck Apocalypse / Ex Machina
There are a lot of games on Steam, but once in a while, you browse the catalogue and discover a little gem hiding somewhere in the deep ends of the underated section. Ex Machina is one of those games, but let me start off by saying that this game certainly isn’t for everyone, it’s genre is considered to be a very acquired taste, but I would say it’s worth the buy anyway just for the sake of trying it. I didn’t expect it to be anything amazing given it’s lack of popularity, but I was wrong, this game is truly brilliant.

The Crossout single-player predecessor, Hard Truck Apocalypse (original name Ex Machina fits it even better) was somewhat quite intense when it first hit the shelves. The gameplay (similar to the golden classic of the Russian game development, the Vangers) was quite addictive, with all that driving in the wastes of the post-apocalyptic open world, shooting bandits, upgrading your car, delivering some post quests and convoying caravans… Driving, driving and then some more driving and fighting with your car. There was also an intriguing sci-fi story plot, with some twists and various ways to go through the game (two starting quest lines, non-linear solutions in every big chained mission in every game area, and two endings, with two different boss fights and outcomes).

Hard Truck Apocalypse: Arcade / Ex Machina: Arcade
HTA Arcade is an attempt to dumb down the original Hard Truck Apocalypse (aka Ex Machina) into an arcade shoot-em-up. However, it does not support controller, and the keyboard/ mouse controls are horrible. The game is also extremely unbalanced, and there’s NEVER enough heal. The in-game purchases to improve your trucks are EXTREMELY expensive, and lack of savepoints or checkpoints make the entire game extremely frustrating. You’re much better off playing the actual HTA, not the arcade game.

Sure the game might crash if you try to change the resolution. Sure the game might crash if you try to alt tab it. Sure the game might crash if you change any of the graphical settings. Sure there might be invisible mines that lead to an instantenous and unavoidable death in level 6. Still I found this game to be quite fun and enjoyable. It has some flaws for sure, but nothing that can’t be overlooked and it is cheap as dirt most of the time.

Arcade Drift
This is a good start. The graphics are nice, the tracks are nice, and with a controller it feels pretty good. A couple of issues I’d like to see addressed:
1. On some tracks it’s pretty easy to go partly off the road and become completely stuck. You can only restart the track, which zeroes out your score. A car reset button would be nice. (It seems like the reset functionality may even already exist, because you can fall into water and get reset.)
2. The way it works as a game seems strange. The tracks are point-to-point and when you get to the end, you may make the leaderboard for that track. But the leaderboard seems to be completely based on how much drifting you did, and doesn’t care how long it took you to complete the course. Right? So, what stops a player from drifting for HOURS, and then completing the track with an enormous score? Do I misunderstand how it works?

Armed Emeth
Fun linear story driven metal max like game with golems instead of tanks.
– Real player with 18.6 hrs in game
This plays a lot like an old SNES RPG called Metal Max Returns, but you have golems instead of tanks. It also has different options for the the golems like the items that grant access to certain skills. Instead of needing a more powerful engine, you need a more powerful core that can handle more energy (“Edea”) but the upgrades you apply come at a cost to the Edea levels (which also serve as your HP), so there’s a limit to how strong you can make your golem depending on the core you put into it.

Hard Truck Apocalypse: Rise Of Clans / Ex Machina: Meridian 113
This open-world, third-person, post-apocalyptic driving shooter is kind of odd. It’s also kind of old. This game is from the mid-’00s, and there are some issues getting it to work reliably on new systems [like it failing to save video settings after restarting, occasional crashes]. The translation from Russian is a bit rough, but overall the gameplay of driving about and shooting all sorts of things is compelling. Especially because you get to customize your rig, not just with different chassies, but within chassises. You tend to have three or so different models of cab and/or trailer to swap out, equip, and possibly even load up with cargo.

It only took me 2 days to finish the storyline which I found actually short(Half the time I was actually trading and buying and doing side quests). I haven’t finished Ex Machina since I don’t want to end the game too soon. Anyways just like Ex Machina its the same vehicle combat game rpg with trading and quests. The trucks are the same in addition to adding the scout and the fighter that you can actually drive. The paint jobs got a bit more of an upgrade giving some personality to your truck. Same weapons return just like the previous. I did enjoyed this one but like I said I was bummed that I finished it too early. The boss fights were a bit fustrating and your character tends to kill anything on his path. But hey we got a new region which is now in North America. But I found em a bit smaller in towns. There were some cities but they were that enough. I still recommend it if you were a fan of Ex Machina.

Radiant Crusade
You’re in a valley defending a tower against attacking alien bugs.
It’s steer with gamepad and sight/lock targets with gaze. All functions (weapons, throttle etc) are on the gamepad. If you’re not a gamepad user effective control will be an issue as game doesn’t support motion controllers.
The ship hugs the terrain closely and though i didn’t suffer any queasiness others a bit more sensitive might.
Cockpit arcade shooter really sums this up. It’s colorful (although not Polynomial colorful), fast paced and suited to folks who want a gamepad VR arcade experience. My gamepad dexterity is severely lacking so the full potential of this game was lost on me but check it out if you’re a gamepad warrior looking for a fast blast.

Radiant Crusade is a sci-fi, cockpit shooter title. In this game, player will drive around on a vehicle with cockpit (that display in-game information like health etc) and shoot at the creatures.
There’s also an AI tower that will attack any nearby creatures too, so player has to work together with the tower. If either the tower or the player loses all the health the game is over. So strategy has to be made. Player can drive around to attack or thin the incoming herd (and let the tower to handle the rest), or stay near the tower, and attack the creatures together with the tower.

I felt that this game was lacking lots of material for the game. The game crashed a few times for me. Then once I did manage to play the camera would go wonkey half of the time. The gameplay wasn’t great and no instructions on what to do or how to play.

Retro Racer
I think it is a funn game and I really think more people should buy it
– Real player with 1.5 hrs in game
Retro Racer is all aesthetics and no mechanics. If you carefully drive straight-ish, it’s pretty to look at for a little while (the “glitch” effect is overdone and might give you a headache, though); if you hit something, you’ll discover that the only good sound is the music, and the physics of the car are altogether terrible.

Trailer park mechanic
Has potential to be the american version of my summer car. Only real issues right now are very bouncy cars and a annoying bolt system. The rest I can look past as it is early access. Crossing my fingers and hoping this game gets finished
– Real player with 11.4 hrs in game
this game is so bad first the thing doesnt even let you move the engine hoist like all the rest of the mechanic games so you have to take the whole engine apart and put it back together in the car the cars to buy in the auto gallery are way too expensive to even think about buying next the driving is so god awful that half the time your in the car you have to worry about not going off the road or else you will spinn into the sky and lastly the only thing i have found even remotely cool about this game is that you can buy rims and header covers for your car
