Desert Law is a simple real-time-strategy game. In controls (even down to the hot-keys), it's very reminiscent of Command & Conquer. Though, unlike that series, it has no base building, and is delivered in a much more clunky fashion. You control a small group of armored vehicles (buggies, vans, monster trucks) in a post-apoc world. The main story is delivered through comic book cutscenes and tells of the main character's quest to find his girlfriend, who was kidnapped by raiders. This leads to 29 missions with some varied objectives (rescuing certain characters, protecting areas, assaulting outposts, etc.) though most of the time you will simply be fighting against other armored vehicles. The strategy elements feel weak but servicable and there's additional interest due to the 'hero' characters, who all have different stats which increase, RPG style. These guys can be put into any vehicle and will thereby give it benefits (better firepower, etc.) There are also specialized characters like the mechanic, who can repair anything. But the game is really not great. It's playable, but it really can't stand up against other RTS titles. The main problem is actually its very poor path-finding and clunky control of units. They spend so much time manoevering around each other that they arrive at locations late, take enemy fire when they're trying to get into position and generally behave as though they're being driven by idiots. If you love post-apoc settings and desperately need another fix, you may find something here. It's not terrible, just basic and uninspiring.
