Story:Rule the wasteland of the future as a gorgeous Amazon, or an evil Death-cultist in the real-time strategy game that doesn't take itself too seriously. With family choices including chain-wielding Bikers, Cyborgs, Enforcers, and Good ol' Trailer Trash, you're bound to find the Tribe that's right for you.
I still have the disc for this but haven’t tried to use it since release. It would be interesting to see it revived. The campaign is chaotic and really made the game stand out but it flew under most people’s radar. Worth a vote.
This was a superb little RTS that not many people seem to remember or have played. This is one of those games that it's kind of hard to exactly say why it's so great on paper. It doesn't have the best graphics (though they certainly weren't bad) and truth be told there are certainly stronger RTS's out there in terms of core gameplay mechanics.
However what Tribal Rage had going for it was bags of character, a fun, post-apoc style world, and a ludicrous amount of customisation - the amount of stuff you could do in tweaking units was incredible.
And I can still hear my best mate's laugh every time he sent a horde of explodable pigs off at the enemy base!
It was bought long long time ago from, I dunno, some store.
With big red box and pretty handy manual. Now it is forgotten I cannot find anywhere CD with this game. So GoG is the only one who can save it.
Music was fun, gameplay odd due to numerous of strange nations, but still RTS is what should be remembered.
The amount of customization was really ahead of its time. You can create units with different type of attacks! I loved the campy silly funny factions, would love to play this again on an updated windows.
One of the first PC games I owned (I still have the physical copy) , It was a gift from my tech savvy cousin when my family got their first PC. I was like 6 years old and didn't speak a word of English so I never got far, but some of the unit quotes are burned in my brain from the sheer amount of playtime. Sadly as hardware advanced the game became impossible to play (I am not tech savvy enough to get it working). I would love to give it another go with my superior adult brain.
Eight tribes? Maybe you are an 40 year old edgelord like myself and want to play as a doomsday cult to destroy the world with nukes, gas and luxury limos? Want an easy time? Pick the cyborgs with their OP units which you can make even stronger with armor, or why not use their tanks to just win? Not into tech? Go with the Amazons and show the world why feminism is equality and why all men are pigs that should be stomped until they worship you like the goddess you are, or go all out with bikers and their mighty flying bike and bribes, still not satisfied? Rule law and order as the Enforcers, they got everything and nothing (because it's all super expensive and requires expert gameplay, are you that expert? Then you should rule with jet powered guys that fly over bombs mines and rivers, troops that freeze you, troops that can go invincible, vehicles that crush terrain and destroy mines and everything bad, and much much more, then they run out of ammo and you got nothing you paid a fortune for, also they have super range but are terribly weak) then you got the trailer trash with their awesome Elvis inspired music and cheap units, just buy pigs loaded with explosives until you win with minus points because of all the cheap pigs that went boom lol or go with tractors with flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails, life's cheap yet easy for the trailer trash, lastly you can't choose but still capture the "poor" civilians and pump out their units, they have no vehicles but a bunch of cool heroes that for some reason took the side of the weakest people; Luther, Clint, Vladina the flamethrower (or something I forgot her name but but...)
You don't build units, you click a button and they spawn, likewise you can take over buildings by killing everything inside and entering it, if it weren't that this game has a bunch of ugly bugs it would be one of my absolute games of all time
And still, it's not far from the AI is dumb but the game is fun regardless, also each tribe has heroes
I play demo when i was... 10 maybe 11. Probably thousand hours in one map, 15 minutes limit, and again and again. Never forget buy one fast unit and go to capture enemy base and play other "races" it was only option.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
