Hard Truck - Spin Off: Hard Truck Apocalypse

Spin Off: Hard Truck Apocalypse

Hard Truck Apocalypse shares the same name, but is in actuality a standalone game.

A completely different take on the hard truck games, developed by the Russian developer Targem Games, released on June 26, 2006, this game takes place in an apocalyptic, Mad Max-like future. A disaster occurred and everyone on Earth has to wear special masks to survive. Trade runs between villages to make money can still be done but the main method for making money is to loot destroyed enemies of cargo and weapons.

The game takes place in an apocalyptic version of Europe, with different zones depicting countries like Germany, France, England, and many more. Five vehicles, from a simple van to the gigantic BelAZ, are available to drive. The guns vary from roof-mounted machine guns, shotguns, and mortars to laser and energy weapons.

The game was soon followed by Hard Truck Apocalypse: Rise of Clans, The official standalone expansion to Hard Truck Apocalypse, also developed by Targem Games. It has not been released in western stores yet, but can be purchased and downloaded online at GamersGate. It takes place in an apocalyptic version of North America. In the game the player is a vagrant, a strong loner who is searching for the mythical city of Edmonton in "le canada".

The game reuses a lot of material from Hard Truck Apocalypse but most of the vehicles, weapons, and enemies are the same. There are four new zones and a whole new storyline.
