'Tribal Rage'
[PC] [USA] [MAGAZINE, TEASER] [1998]
"Long known for their serious wargames, TalonSoft is still going in a serious directionโseriously different for them, that isโwith Tribal Rage, a real-time strategy title due out this Spring. Set in the year 2030, the story is a mixture of Mad Max-style post-apocalypticism and Redneck Rampage over-the-top characterization. Earth is depleted and civilization is toast; all that's left are bands of the usual riff-raff: Bikers, Cyborgs, Amazons, Enforcers, those tiresome Death Cultists, and "gold ol' Trailer Trash." It's be your job to lead one of these bands of yahoos (except you're advised to never call your Death Cultists yahoos) through either a campaign game or sets of scenarios. The campaign is linked scenarios, but unlike most other real-time strategy games TalonSoft says it's different each time a new campaign is started. The scenarios recreate the rivalries present in the game's universe, so expect to see, for example, Bikers going up against the Enforcers (police remnants). The game will include a complete scenario/tribe editor that will let you build your own game experience from the vehicles up; TalonSoft is already planning an add-on CD with a set of new tribes. Up to six players can fight it out in multiplayer, either via LAN, Internet, or head-to-dead." ~Scott Udell, Computer Games Strategy Plus (#88, March 1998)
