About the Game

Motor Assailant is a vehicle combat game featuring 18 levels, including boss battles, set in 5 different environments. You can choose from 6 different combat vehicles, each with its own unique weapon. Your goal is to drive and shoot through each level to uncover a dark corporate secret, witness catastrophic events, and make humanity's first contact with alien life.

  • 18 levels including boss battles

  • 5 different environments

  • 6 unique vehicles with special weapons

  • Customize and upgrade vehicles in garage

  • Special weapons, mines, homing missiles, airstrikes

  • Giant boss fights on each planet

  • Storyline with corporate secret, catastrophic events, alien life

Every vehicle in the game has a unique weapon that requires a slightly different playstyle. You can purchase, upgrade, and customize your vehicle in the garage using cash earned during missions. Each planet contains multiple levels, culminating in a giant boss fight.

Armed with a vehicle-specific weapon, mines, homing missiles, and the ability to call in airstrikes, you will wreak havoc across 18 battlefields in 5 different environments.

As a lieutenant in a private corporate military force, you will receive orders and advice from your superior officers, Colonel Schmidt and Captain Schroeder, during missions.

You begin your journey at a remote mining colony, where a truce with a rival corporation is in place. However, events quickly begin to unfold when a rogue comet enters the system from interstellar space. As you embark on your first mission, a simple patrol, you will find yourself fighting against enemy vehicles and turrets. But as the story progresses, you will face something that no one expected to encounter.
