And it has the most confusing trailer, to boot. That is, it's a trailer that sort of starts out trying to be funny, then loses its direction, then can't really pick itself back up again and, most importantly, doesn't really convey anything about what it's selling. Thanksfully its accompanying press release fills in the blanks.
At first this looks like it's maybe the desert version of the brilliant Frostpunk. And then maybe more like a strategy version of RAGE 2, or Mad Max, but then it just peters out to the promise of 'something'. It's just a bit of an odd trailer, is all.
Here's the promised info though:
Punk Wars tells the story of four new powers emerging from the ashes of a global cataclysm and fighting for domination of the ruins of a once magnificent megacity. Become the powerful leader of the messianic steampunk, tenebrous dieselpunk, militaristic steelpunk, or technocratic atompunk, with each faction holding the key to a different branch of industrial science, with a different set of unique skills. Explore the ruins of a bygone civilization, where resources are scarce and the dangers way too common. Develop your infrastructure and technology that will secure your triumph. Create a winning strategy and a playstyle for each faction, utilising their distinctive skills and units. Become the messiah of the new age and lead humanity towards the era of prosperity and happiness… as you see it.
In Punk Wars you will:
Take control of one of the four powerful corporations - Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Atompunk or Steelpunk - and use its unique skillset to lead it to glory. - Explore the mysteries of a ruined, post-apocalyptic megacity.
Level up your units and engage in battles that will challenge your tactical sense. - Grow your scientific, industrial and military infrastructure, creating advanced supply chains.
Seek, garner and wisely use scarce resources.
Unite humanity and lead it to the new era of peace and prosperity!
