Our take on Dustland
The recurring sandstorm is a defining constraint: it sweeps across the map, putting both escape and looting under time pressure.
What is Dustland?
Dustland is a multiplayer, third-person action game set in a fallen region.
Players travel through an open world on missions that can involve cooperation or competition with others. They manage supplies, choose equipment, and risk losing it if they die. Weapons can be customized, while mission events can alter the map, bring in enemies, and reveal items. Players can collect unique gear that shapes character attributes and specialization, and piece together clues about the world's mysteries. A recurring sandstorm sweeps across the map, making looting more dangerous. Across seasons, the map, events, and story change, with player and faction actions influencing those shifts.
