Firstly, it's not a Twisted Metal wannabe. If anything, Twisted Metal is a recreation of a table-top game called Car Wars that was turn-based in the first place. The themes are similar but they are completely different games.
Anyways, I didn't post it here to debate the merits of why a turn-based game isn't as good as Twisted Metal. If you like it great, if not fine. It's not for everyone. Personally, I'm having a mega-blast playing it which is why I wanted to share it here.
You can run arena events to earn cash or take to the highways where you can encounter anything. I just came back from what they call "scouts". This is where players head off together to scout for other gangs roaming the highways. If you're outing is successful meaning you manage to demoralise or kill the gang off in the encounter, you all get to salvage parts of the cars to sell or use to modify your own vehicles. You also need to train your gang members to become better. You can also buy your own compound or join others. The other aspect of the game is the sim-style where it can take hours or even days to do things like order a new vehicle or get it repaired or modified. Some gang members can be badly injured and need to be hopsitalized for some time to recover. Merely scratching the surface.
