Summary

​

Rustlands is a post-apocalyptic car arena simulator game for iOS and Android. The player spends their time training up their crew in seven different stats to advance in-game time until their bracket is able to fight in the arena.

​

The arena works in real-time with a distance-based combat mechanic where players may only use each crew at specific distances from the enemy, or ram them if they get too close. The distance is limited to where the crew are placed in the car.

​

Each car is limited to three crew members. The player may select what type of car they want, what crew they want in the car and where the car decals go (if any) on the car.

​

The game works on an energy system similar to other mobile games called fuel, with options to purchase more fuel and customisation options.
