Prepare to lead a battle-hardened squad through a gritty post-apocalyptic world!
Dustwind: Resistance is a new tactical thriller with deep RPG and survival elements – and it has launched today.
Developed by Dustwind Studios & Z-Software, this new standalone single-player campaign is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC for £16.74, and comes complete with Xbox Play Anywhere support.
Return to the Wasteland: A New Resistance
Resistance aims to refine and expand upon the core ideas of its predecessor, Dustwind – The Last Resort, offering a brand-new story and a host of gameplay improvements.
In Dustwind: Resistance, you’ll step into the boots of Jake, a simple farmer whose quiet life is shattered when ruthless raiders invade. Now on a mission for survival, freedom, and justice, Jake must lead his own squad – and his loyal dog, Diesel – to fight back and reclaim his homeland by any means necessary.
Dustwind: Resistance is all about strategic thinking and creative combat, giving you complete freedom in how you approach every mission. Will you charge in guns blazing, smashing enemies with an armoured car? Or will you rely on precise stealth takedowns? Perhaps you’d prefer to set clever traps, or fortify a position with turrets and barricades before the fight even begins? Every approach is on the table – except surrender.
A Major Overhaul
This new adventure has been designed exclusively for a refined single-player experience, with major improvements over the previous game.
Players can expect a new full-length campaign, a more streamlined UI for smoother gameplay, new and revamped skills and game mechanics, character system updates, and more varied environments. The game also adds numerous unique weapons and features a full weapon rebalance to enhance the tactical combat.
A Second Chance to Conquer the Dustwind?
We have ventured into this gritty RTS world before. In our 3/5 review of Dustwind – The Last Resort, we found a world that intrigued us, but noted its “punishing difficulty, gradual pace and repetitive gameplay make it an acquired taste for sure.”
With Resistance’s focus on a refined single-player experience, a streamlined UI, and more varied environments, it looks to be directly addressing some of those earlier pain points, offering a more polished and engaging tactical experience.
Seamless Survival with Xbox Play Anywhere
Adding fantastic value for players in the Microsoft ecosystem, Dustwind: Resistance supports Xbox Play Anywhere. Purchase the game digitally once via the Xbox Store for £16.74, and you automatically own it on both your Xbox Series X|S console and your Windows PC at no extra charge. Your progress and achievements will sync seamlessly between platforms!
