Become Mad Max In Brand New Video Game
Mad Max is an open world style video game that follows the film that recently came out. It is set in a post-apocalyptic setting where cars are the key to survival. You become Mad Max, a lone warrior who must fight to stay alive in The Wasteland, using vicious on-ground and vehicular combat against savage gangs of bandits. Following the theft of his iconic Interceptor, Max must align himself with a gifted, but peculiar, mechanic named Chumbucket and others to build the ultimate war vehicle as he works to escape from the dangerous Wasteland.
In the game you look for trash since every scrap that’s scavenged is important and can be utilized to upgrade and enhance equipment, weapons and vehicles. Gamers raid enemy encampments to gain access to valuable resources. You will fight with deadly factions and gangs through scores of dangerous side-missions and quests in the dynamic open-world full of exploration.
For those who love driving games there are modes where you have inter-vehicular combat, taking down enemy vehicles with a range of powerful weapons. Car combat is entirely physics-based, so no two battles are ever the same.
You can even build the “Ultimate War Machine” as you design, customize and upgrade your ultimate combat vehicle – the Magnum Opus – choosing from different car bodies and a slew of upgrades including mounted weapons, armor and engines to survive another day.
The game comes out tomorrow.
