''Wasteland Angel'' is a vehicular combat shoot 'em up video game created by the Finnish independent developer team Octane Games. Released on September 1, 2011, the game is published by Meridian4 for Windows and is distributed online through Steam, Impulse, GamersGate, Direct2Drive, and Amazon Download. The game is set after a fictional World War III in a post-apocalyptic United States where various gangs prey on towns in which survivors from the war have gathered. The player assumes the role the eponymous female protagonist, Angel, as she defends the towns and searches for her lost friend. The game is played from a bird's eye view as the player controls a car and its mounted machine guns in order to destroy enemies and vehicles. Players can find more powerful guns to attach to the car and can also use special weapons such as napalm or spike strips which are picked up after killing certain enemies. The game was the first to be released under the Octane Games brand. It received average reviews from critics upon release, with IGN's Gord Goble writing that his main issue with the game was that it was very short and lacked any lasting appeal.〔 Shortly after the game's release, an update was made available that added support for dual-monitors, support for editable key configurations, and more destructible objects to the game. ==Gameplay== The story, told through the use of voiced and animated comic panels,〔 centers on Angel, a heroine in a post-apocalyptic United States that travels from town to town protecting helpless survivors of the war from attacking gangs.〔〔〔 Angel defends the towns using Gypsy, the name given to her armored car equipped with mounted machine guns.〔 The game uses an overhead view as the player speeds around a small town using Gypsy's machine guns to repel enemy gangs known as Wastelanders.〔 There are three types of Wastelanders and each one unleashes attacks in a different manner:〔 The Slavers class will attempt to capture the townspeople, Killers will only attack the player, and Duals can take on either the role of attacking or capturing during a raid.〔 When enemies are killed, they leave behind weapons for the player such as napalm, land mines, or Electromagnetic pulse bombs (EMPs); or they drop upgrades which improve the car's weapons or armor.〔 The EMPs are used to temporarily disable all the enemies on the screen while the napalm and land mines can be set between waves as traps for unsuspecting Wastelanders.〔 One weapon upgrade offers players incendiary ammunition for the car's machine guns which makes it easier to destroy enemies by lighting them on fire.〔 The game offers four different difficulty settings and includes online leaderboards which enumerate high scores that different players have achieved for the game.〔 The game is segmented into protecting six different villages,〔 and each village is broken up into four levels: a Day level, a Boss level, a Night level, and a bonus level.〔 Levels are further broken into waves as increasingly difficult enemies attack the village.〔 The bonus level drops the top-down camera view and is played from the perspective of the driver seat of the car.〔 Boss levels confront the player with a boss enemy that is much stronger than the other enemies encountered in the game.〔 Each boss requires the player to discover and employ a predefined strategy in order to defeat them.〔 For example, the first boss is a giant steamroller with an attached flamethrower that can not be damaged by the car's regular guns and instead requires the use of napalm to destroy it.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wasteland Angel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
