Gameplay

52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The constant demand for strategy and good planning, coupled with vehicle customization, tons of unique weapons, seamless world maps, gang management, and cruel cruel PERMADEATH, makes Darkwind a game that offers ultimate playability and challenge.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are so many great types of challenges, races, deathraces, arena combat, scouts vs PVE, PVP combat, running a gang, running a scavenger gang, the rabbit hole goes very deep.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The other thing that I hear alot of people dissing the game about, especially since the steam release, is the steep learning curve.
