Create, customize and command your battle wagon to conquer crazed enemy factions and save innocent survivors scattered throughout the lawless Badlands in the aftermath of a devastating apocalypse.

In this challenging roguelite sim set in the U.S. in the aftermath of a devastating apocalypse, players can, for the first time in the series, command a land vehicle as they navigate, manage and battle their way through the treacherous Badlands to become a hero and legend. With a host of innovative new features to the series, such as vehicle building and customization, a dynamic and evolving campaign, and tactically diverse and intense combat encounters - Badlands Crew will provide players with a richer and more immersive gameplay.

As a protector of The Citadel, the last outpost of the surviving innocents, you must journey into the lawless Badlands to conquer crazed factions of marauders and defeat their evil chief, The Orator. To succeed you must construct and customize your ferocious battle wagon to adapt to the lethal threats you will face.

Use deep and dynamic vehicle customization to equip your wagon with a range of components and weapons such as flamethrowers, sniper turrets, gatling guns, lookout towers, medical stations, wheels, suspension, fuel tanks, engines and exhausts. Build your battle wagon, your way…

Transform a rag-tag crew of skill-less grunts into a legendary unit of elite road warriors with abilities that complement your battle wagon’s strengths and your playstyle. Life expectancy out in the Badlands is short and death is permanent – only hardened warriors will thrive. Choose wisely who to put in danger!

Jon Wingrove, Technical Director and Co-Founder of Runner Duck, said: “We've taken everything we've learnt from Bomber Crew and Space Crew and are working on all new and improved features, which hugely increase the ways players can approach the game. With gnarly vehicle combat and its post-apocalyptic setting, we're aiming to make Badlands Crew the most exciting and successful game in the franchise.”

Combat requires commanders to multitask under immense pressure. Think quickly on your feet and manage your crew individually in the heat of battle to man guns, repair vehicle components, heal injured crew mates and repel boarders. Drive and navigate to avoid environmental hazards such as sandstorms, volcanic eruptions and giant sandworms whilst fighting off waves of enemy combatants.

The Gun Nutz, Pyros, Vultures and Klowns are the savage militia groups that roam the Badlands, each led by a crazed Warlord boss. Going head-to-head to defeat them in combat will require skill and planning as each faction has their own unique weaponry and combat tactics. You will need to adapt your strategies, your battle wagon build and your crew’s skills to succeed!

The Badlands is a vast desert landscape, filled with strongholds and outposts to overcome on your journey. Your decisions change the campaign map as faction influence declines and grows based on the outcome of your battles. Smart decision-making within the safety of The Citadel when planning routes, customizing vehicles and training your crew is just as important as critical calls made during the heat of battle.

Key Features:

• Build and customize your battle wagon to suit your mission objectives and playstyle.
• Land-based setting with environmental hazards (giant sandworms, acid rain storms, lava flows and more!)
• Four unique enemy factions - Gun Nutz, Pyros, Klowns and Vultures, each with their own unique weaponry, combat styles and strategies.
• Dynamic and evolving campaign map where players can pick their own unique path and campaign strategy to shift warlord influence throughout the campaign.
• Deep crew customization - evolve your crew’s skills, abilities and perks to complement your battle wagon’s unique design and capabilities.
• As always in the Crew series, intense vehicle management! Command your crew to drive, navigate, repair and fight to survive.

Badlands Crew is set to launch in 2024, releasing first on PC (Steam) with consoles to follow.
