Today, August 15th at 12 pm EDT, Z-Software GmbH and Dustwind Studios are launching their \u2018Full Release\u2019 via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/600460\/Dustwind\/\"><b>Steam<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Players will enjoy customizing their characters as a Human, Valkyrie, Robot and even a Dog. Easily customize your characters with exciting combinations of skills and gear to dominate the battlefield!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1335\" src=\"http:\/\/gamepublx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/01_realtime_tactics.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"668\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sneak, aim for body parts, use a varied set of weapons and ammo, trick and flank your enemies, set or disarm traps, drive and repair vehicles. Take some caution to avoid blowing up all of your teammates! Seriously, don\u00b4t take that bazooka into close quarters combat.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cDustwind is all about real-time tactical combat in a grim post-apocalyptic setting, creating uniquely balanced characters, and making your opponent\u00b4s heads explode in so many hilarious ways. Have you ever seen someone being shot with a plunger to the face or kicked off a sniper tower by an armored dog? You will in Dustwind! Happens every day\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>You can play various MP game modes with or against your friends, or play Solo missions against the environment. Which will eat you alive if you aren\u00b4t careful and coordinate. This is where it gets REALLY tactical. But don\u00b4t worry, you can always come back with another character build &amp; strategy (or more plungers) and eventually, you will prevail against the 100 or so computer-controlled Raiders.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Oh, and if you\u00b4re a mapper, the built-in map editor will be just your thing. \u00a0So gear up and let the clusterfun begin!\u201d<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 Dimitri Zaitsev, Creative Director<\/p>\n<p>A typical game session is anywhere between 10 minutes and 1.5 hours, strongly depending on which game mode and map you play. Large cooperative maps take longer (if you don\u00b4t die), while competitive matches are usually timed at 10-20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1329\" src=\"http:\/\/gamepublx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/bazooka_teamkill_steve.gif\" alt=\"Bazooka Team Kill Dustwind\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b>Core Features &amp; Gameplay Descriptions:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Tactical action combat.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You will need your tactical thinking and just a bit of reflex as you lead your character(s) into battle. Sneak, aim for body parts, use varied weapons and ammo, drive vehicles, deploy turrets and barricades, use the environment to your advantage, trick and flank your enemies, set or disarm traps, and try not to blow up all of your teammates!<\/p>\n<p><b>Create and tweak your custom characters.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>No fixed classes, no pay-to-win. Experiment with various character builds without wasting your time. But you only get 10.000 points to spend on each character you make, so spend them wisely to find the coolest combination of skills and gear that suits you personally. Don\u00b4t worry though, you can re-stat or make a new character at any time! And as you gain ranks as a player, you unlock cool new items to give to your warriors!<\/p>\n<p><b>Play as a DOG.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dogs are great support units who can throw grenades, drive cars, deploy turrets, fire mounted car guns, heal people (bring your DOGtor!), repair stuff, bite enemies in the butt, and more.. The only thing they can\u00b4t do is use (the most) human weapons. But so what? Show those humans how tactical fighting is done! Wuff!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1337\" src=\"http:\/\/gamepublx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fuall_explosion.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>CLUSTERFUN!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A typical game session in Dustwind is almost guaranteed to generate some interesting situations where people are flying around with their limbs torn off after some dumb incident, such as being kicked into a mine, bouncing a grenade off a wall back into your own face, or being shot by your minigun-wielding pal who was just trying to protect you from the raiders\u2026 The world of Dustwind is full of chaos, and the way it manifests itself is blood &amp; hilarity.<\/p>\n<p><b>Make your own maps and rulesets with ease.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dustwind is meant to be played the way YOU want to play it! Stay with the default maps and rules, or create house rules with just a few clicks. Enjoy cool maps created by others, or enjoy the ability to create your own maps.
