Dominate the Wasteland in War on Wheels: Tactical Vehicular Combat

War on Wheels is a gritty, tactical turn-based game of post-apocalyptic vehicular combat where physics rule the road. A spiritual successor and modernization of the classic MMO 'Darkwind,' running since 2006, War on Wheels delivers two decades of tactical car combat expertise in a single-player-first experience, brought to life with modern graphics and physics.

Inspired by tabletop classics like Car Wars and Gaslands, and video game legends such as Interstate '76 and Autoduel, War on Wheels brings physics-based realism, streamlined gameplay, and a deep, engaging campaign to car combat enthusiasts. Experience a modern take on a beloved genre!

Master Turn-Based, Physics-Controlled Car Combat

Experience the unique thrill of turn-based physics in vehicular combat. Every turn, gas pedal press, and tire squeal can impact your strategy the next turn. Master your car's momentum, understand tire traction on various terrains, and compensate for weapon recoil. Our innovative 'ghost car' system visualizes your vehicle's predicted trajectory, considering physics, driver skill, and your chosen actions. It offers the precision needed to outmaneuver your enemies.

The complex terrain – obstacles, topography, surface material – creates a tactically deeper car dogfight than aerial combat. The momentum of your vehicles, combined with physics-based weapon effects and explosions, makes for dynamic engagements surpassing on-foot tactical games. Best of all, the turn-based system lets you command a squad of powerful vehicles: muscle cars, pickups, lorries, motorcycles, even brave (or foolish) pedestrians!

Engage in a Single-Player Campaign and Competitive Multiplayer Leagues

Dive into a rich single-player story campaign in War on Wheels or create and manage your own custom player-managed online multiplayer leagues. Define the rules, invite friends, and battle for supremacy. Destroy rival vehicles, develop your characters, and build your fortune across league seasons.

Built Upon a Strong Foundation

At its core, War on Wheels utilizes the refined tactical combat system honed over a decade in its predecessor, ensuring balanced and engaging gameplay that has captivated players for over 20 years.

Customize Your Vehicles

Choose from numerous chassis types, engines, tires, and weapons to create a staggering array of customization options. Carefully manage internal capacity, armor, weight, power, and maneuverability to build the perfect squad of specialist vehicles for your gang.

Devastating Weaponry

Our combat system features a wide range of vehicle-mounted and personal weapons: guns, rockets, melee rams, smokescreens, dropped mines, and tire-shredding spikes. Each weapon type features unique rate of fire, recoil physics, reloading difficulty, short- and long-range accuracy, and damage types. Experience the intensity of vehicles ablaze, the effects of sustained fire, and dynamic accuracy influenced by movement.

Develop Unique Characters

Your gang's crew is more crucial than the car itself. Characters possess a diverse range of skills and abilities, including leadership, courage, and a detailed in-combat psychology and morale system. As your characters level up, unlock specialized skills, endure injuries, and face the looming threat of death in the brutal wasteland.

A Post-Apocalyptic Game Setting

In 2025, massive solar storms ravaged the world. From bunkers and caves, hardy survivors emerged to forge a new wasteland dominated by the biggest guns and fastest cars.

Over decades, a semblance of civilization arose. Towns and fortresses traded and warred; farms became oases in the desert. Heavily armed traders, pirates, and militia battled for control. Deathracing leagues rose in popularity. Strange, mutated creatures stalked the sun-scorched wilderness.

Single-player Campaign: Place of Honor

Before the world ended, the Phoenix Base project aimed to preserve humanity's elite, along with the tools and materials to rebuild. This vast bunker complex, located in a secret place, would either rebuild or reconquer the world. A threat for those outside, but a promise for those within.

After the cataclysm, as other bunkers opened and survivors rebuilt, they always remembered the Phoenix project, however years continued and the name "Phoenix" was mentioned less and less.

As years stretched into decades, the Phoenix Base receded further from memory, then a myth, and eventually only existing in drunk convos and stories.

Seventy years later, clues to the location of the Phoenix Base have surfaced, threatening to destabilize the tenuous balance of power between city-states, merchant corporations, and nomadic tribes. As the leader of a budding mercenary company, you will determine the fate of many.
