ScrapCrew: Running on Fumes

A TACTICAL ROADTRIP Lead Omega Squad in turn based tactical battles inspired by classic JRPGs. Instead of generic soldiers, you command a dedicated crew. Balance customized vehicle features, manage resources, and utilize specialized driver maneuvers to survive the dangers of a narrative driven campaign, spanning 15 handcrafted missions, shaped by your dialogue choices and battlefield decisions. TURN-BASED DRIVING Your squad fights from behind the wheel, and your tactical decisions reflect that. Keep moving to increase your speed and use your momentum to boost your damage or avoid enemy attacks. Unleash your pilots' driving skills to perform maneuvers that change the battle conditions, and watch your fuel consumption to avoid running dry before achieving your objectives. STEER YOUR SQUAD STANCES Your squad will follow your orders but that doesn’t mean they’ll like them. You are not commanding generic units but a crew of distinct individuals with their own personalities, philosophies, and combat preferences. Use the Stance Steering System to guide the evolution of your team through your dialogue choices and actions on the battlefield. - Steer Your Strategy: Your dialogue choices and tactical decisions shift the squad’s collective stance toward the preferred combat style of each specific crew member: Aggressive, Collaborative, Efficient or Reckless. - Establish Your Tone: Unlock narrative "storylets" that solidify your chosen stance, granting unique squad abilities, such as area disrupting maneuvers or damage multiplier traits, based on your active playstyle. UPGRADE YOUR VEHICLES AND DRIVERS Between missions, use your mobile camp to prepare for the road ahead. - Driver Progression: Spend XP earned in battle to improve the individual stats of each unique crew member. - Scrap Engineering: Pool together salvaged Scrap Parts to upgrade your vehicles’ physical features and weaponry. KEY FEATURES - The Stance Steering System: Your dialogue and tactical choices steer the squad’s overall combat posture, unlocking unique abilities and triggering reactive narrative events based on your active playstyle. - Tactical Vehicle Warfare: Engage in turn based combat with armored vehicles instead of traditional infantry or mechs. - Focused 15-Mission Campaign: A deliberate, handcrafted tactical adventure with zero procedural generation or random encounter filler. - Deep Customization & Progression: Upgrade individual pilot stats with XP and overhaul vehicle chassis with salvaged scrap metal. - Striking Visual Style: Explore a dusty, dangerous wasteland that trades the traditional, drab brown palettes of the genre for a colorful, celshaded comic book aesthetic.
