"If Speed Racer (the cartoon) had a baby with Death Race (the Roger Corman versions) and it ended up in a Mad Max future, I think you’d end up with this game... Personally, I think this game has earned a permanent spot on my hard drive" - Adam Harrison, Bell of Lost Souls

America. 2025.
The government is non-existent and society, struggling against pollution, stagnation, catastrophic climate change and gang warfare, is at the point of collapse. You are a highway warrior for hire, taking on contracts to keep the few laws that exist, in check. You battle against roving gangs to control the dangerous roads and earn a living in these dangerous times.
Tool up your vehicle with a range of weapons and upgrades and head out into The Big Empty. Explore this darkly absurd land, with danger and destruction at every turn.
Customise your vehicle with a variety of weapons - from powerful ballistic artillery, to searing high-tech lasers and makeshift deployable explosives - all designed to cause maximum havoc and destruction on the roads.
Fight against a range of dangerous gangcults in dramatic locations, with jaw-dropping physics and visual effects, all powered by Unreal Engine 4.
Take full control of the chaotic carnage with Command Mode. Slow time down and issue orders to your vehicles in a real time strategy game unlike any other. Choose the right combination of weapons and car upgrades to put the enemy down for good.
Customise your car with special upgrades to suit your playstyle. Want to go totally offensive? Upgrade your Combat Lasers and Multi-Missile Launchers to cause maximum damage. Use your character's special abilities to outwit and outmaneuver the opposition. Put the brakes on your enemies with Road Spikes and Concussion Mines to stop them dead in their tracks. Invest in your Ramming Boost to chase down enemies and smash them off the road. Use these to maximise your payday and keep the dollars rolling in.
Eight stories introduce you to the dystopian society of Games Workshop’s car combat universe of Dark Future. Take on missions and attempt to survive in the scorched wastes of America in brutal, endlessly replayable run-based campaigns.
Reviews
“Dark Future: Blood Red States is a quirky video game adaptation of this niche Games Workshop board game, and Auroch Digital have done a great job of preserving that feel in a real time form.”
7 / 10 – The Sixth Axis
“Dark Future: Blood Red States is a truly unique tactical action game, and an excellent adaptation of one of the more obscure Games Workshop properties. It provides action and considered tactics in equal measures, satisfying the strategic and bloodthirsty side of your brain wonderfully.”
9 / 10 – Thumbstix
“A great game for a niche audience interested in a post-apocalyptic single player mix of car combat and rail shooter. The combat is engaging and fun with elements that allow players to make strategic choices.”
8 / 10 – GameSpace
Yes, it does crash (2025), about once per twenty runs. That seems very bearable to me.
If you dig CW and/or cars'n'guns, this is a must-have, and it will slake your thirst very well.
The gun part is solid and upgrades are varied as you progress further, though some are oddly lacking (hacking upgrade? rear flamer?). Balance is good, challenging but not frustrating, and replay value is decent. It IS repetitive, but challenging enough to make it worth it.
It's not a racing game, though. You can't lose control, and there's almost no handling issues (or speed/handling mods, for that matter). That may be because of its tabletop roots.
The other issue is that it's hard to adjust strategy to your enemies, and the AI sometimes becomes silly when it tries to protect armour sides. But at least it does.
Also, it's funny without impacting gameplay. Yes, actually funny (though at some point you've read all messages), with some critical political wit to boot, which is seldom seen in US releases.
There is not enough room in the review box to properly describe what this game is and does so I'll keep it short.
If you loved GW back in the day with all it's zany derivative humour and quirky mechanics then buy this game. I cannot stress enough how perfectly DF:BRS captures that old school charm and wit and combines it with a fun and innovative gameplay experience. I have not enjoyed a game this much in a very long time and it has certainly been a very long time since I was as impressed with a GW boardgame crossover as I am with this one. In my opinion the simplicity and repetive nature of the game lend to it's appeal and helps solidify the theme. Are you going to need a Gamefaq guide to play it? Well, I hope not, but what you will need is a comfy chair and a willingness to skirt ridiculous demises.
I honestly don't get how you can give this game less that 4 out of 5 stars? I've been playing video games for 35 years, and it's one of my favourite games. I guess it's just a matter of taste. Just check videos about the games before buying them, it's that easy.
