About the Game

Dustwind: Resistance is a tactical single-player game set in a post-apocalyptic world, blending real-time combat with the ability to pause and plan. Lead a small squad against an invading army, make hard tactical decisions, and do whatever it takes to protect your people and your way of life.

LEAD THE RESISTANCE

Take command of Jake, his squad, and his loyal dog, Diesel. Reclaim your homeland and teach the raiders a final lesson. For freedom!

PAUSE, PLAN, ACT

Combat unfolds in real time, but you can pause the game at any moment to issue orders, turning chaos into control.

CHOOSE YOUR TACTICS

Brute force, stealth, positioning, timing, aiming for body parts. How you fight is up to you. Choose wisely, because the enemy is no fool, and a single mistake can spell your doom.

SHAPE YOUR CHARACTERS

Develop your squad with a revamped character system. Choose the best skills and gear to fit your preferred tactics.

USE EVERY TOOL OF WAR

Shoot, chop, kick, or bite. Set traps, throw grenades, deploy turrets and barricades, or crush enemies with an armored car. So many ways to kill. So many ways to die.

CREATE YOUR OWN BATTLES

Build custom maps and campaigns with the built-in map editor and share them directly to Steam Workshop to keep the fight going.
