Shooting Minis And Stealing Potatos For Fun And Profit

Yesterday I also spent a bit of time with Hard Truck Apocalypse, which I’d picked up in some sale a little while ago. It’s reminiscent of Autoduel, being based around driving around with armed vehicles, doing quests and shooting up other people’s trucks.

The story is rather cliche (the basic out for revenge for my father’s death, etc.) and the production values are rather low, especially the horrible voice acting. It’s also rather convenient that everybody in the future has to wear masks that just happen to remove the need for facial animations in the cutscenes… Still, you get to drive around and blow stuff up, which can be fun enough on its own. The main complaint so far is that there’s been an awful lot of backtracking through the same roads, but it looks like I’ll be sent to a new area next at least.

I Bet She’ll Be In Another Castle, Too

Yesterday I finally got back to King’s Bounty after a bit of a lapse, and made some quick progress in it. I got the peace treaty with the dwarves signed, and in doing so unlocked the final member of the Chest of Rage and got promoted by the king. But, now the princess has been kidnapped.

That opened up the Elven lands, and I did a quick bit of scouting around there to pick up loose rewards, though there wasn’t nearly as much I could easily grab as there was in earlier areas. I’ve still got plenty of old quests to work through, so after that I headed back to the Freedom Islands and cleared out a bunch of monsters and quests from there.
