Battle for survival and supremacy in a gritty post-apocalyptic world of vehicular combat where strategy and tactics determines who wins.Darkwind is a simultaneous turn-based, physics-based game. It is often described as "X-Com meets Mad Max" or "Car Wars \ Online".
Darkwind is the only car game we know of that combines accurate physics with turn-based play. Not just turn based racing and Death-racing (with multiple cars), but also combats with up to 20 vehicles is where you realise why turn based is a must in this game. Running 10 trucks at once through a slaver ambush in Badlands, managing speed, steering, gun fire from anywhere up to 8 points on a truck would not be possible in real time.
Manage your gang, train your characters, design your own cars and scavenge for parts. Make your fortune in racing, deathracing and arena combat leagues, or venture into the wilderness and engage in tense multiplayer battles with pirates, traders and other players.
Trade for parts, cars and weapons in the dynamic economy of a world where your characters will age, sustain permanent injuries, and die. The detailed weapon stats, and the detailed combat system with physics, critical hits, injuries and healing, psychology, leadership and perma-death ensures a strategic challenge like few other games.Award winning in the indie gaming community, acclaimed in the main-stream computer gaming press and praised in the war-gaming media: play it yourself to find out why.

For a game that came out in 2007 it is still very unique. Think of it like xcom with cars, turn based physics and an mmo to boot!
its a great game, particularly if you are someone who enjoyed SJG's Car Wars back in the 80s.
Has some kind of error about me using the wrong Account name or Password when it lets me log into my account and get my Crew This is clearly some kind of Frankenstein Client. Anyways beeing locked out of my own account because of 2 layers of verification means I LITERALLY can not play the game.
Excellent turn based car combat game. Oldie but still a goldie
Игра Darkwind: War on Wheels - это тактическая постапокалиптическая автомобильная боевая арена, которая захватывает своей глубиной и суровостью. Управление автопарком, состоящим из вооруженных до зубов машин, требует стратегического мышления и планирования каждого хода. Бои напряженные и не прощают ошибок, а правильная настройка автомобилей и подбор экипажа играют ключевую роль в победе. В экономической составляющей игры чувствуется гнетущая атмосфера выживания. Постоянная нужда в ресурсах заставляет участвовать в рискованных операциях и заключать сомнительные союзы. Уникальная система повреждений автомобилей влияет на их боеспособность, добавляя реализма. Несмотря на устаревшую графику, геймплей Darkwind: War on Wheels затягивает своей тактической глубиной и стратегическими возможностями. Игра предлагает сложный, но увлекательный вызов для любителей пошаговых стратегий и фанатов постапокалиптического сеттинга. Это хардкорная игра, которая вознаграждает терпеливых и вдумчивых игроков.
This game sounded so much fun. It definetly has potential as it is a unique and interesting concept. It is a little out-dated but it still is a lot of fun. My only real gripe is the game being practically dead. There's like 6 online players all times, 4 of them AFK. I wish people played this
