RESISTOR Announcement Trailer
Set in the year 2060, Resistor is set at a time when nation states have been destroyed and all that remains are corporation-controlled city states. If you want to live in a city instead of the desert wastes beyond, you need a “city pass” - and winning a series of death races is one way to get one.
For Aster, Resistor’s protagonist, winning the championship is also a chance to win healthcare for her sick mother. “But is life beneath the glossy veneer of Ethan Dekker’s corporate utopia truly as idyllic as it seems?” asksthe Steam page. I’m going to take a wild guess and say: no.
Resistor lets you drive around the desert wastes in between races, and use the spoils of your victories to upgrade your base and expand your territory. You’ll also be recruiting a team to race with you and building relationships with other characters will improve your performance together in races, Fire Emblem-style.
I’ve been hungry enough for vehicular combat recently that I booted up Split/Second last week. The hunger remained unsated. Resistor has no release date as yet, but I’m looking forward to it.
