(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Independent development studio Z-Software GmbH announces the release of Dustwind: Resistance, a single-player tactical game, on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in Q2 2025.

The Dustwind Resistance demo has been available to all players on Steam since last Thursday. Players can therefore already test the game.

The demo will take place as part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest (9 – 16 June 2025).

Dustwind: Resistance is a real-time tactics game with pause functionality, set in a harsh post-apocalyptic world. Players command a squad of warriors and a loyal dog named Diesel to fight back against a ruthless raider army. Using a mix of combat tools and skills—including stealth, traps, heavy weapons, turrets, or a massive armored car—players complete high-stakes missions to defend their home and secure their people’s freedom.

The game introduces a brand-new campaign and refined single-player focus within the Dustwind universe, featuring updated gameplay mechanics, new and rebalanced weapons, character system enhancements, and a streamlined user interface. Environments are more varied, and quality-of-life improvements help deliver a smoother and more engaging experience.

Dustwind: Resistance follows the story of Jake, a former farmer whose peaceful life is shattered by a raider invasion. Driven by a desire for survival and justice, he and his team fight to reclaim their home. Additionally, players can design and share custom maps and campaigns using the integrated map editor with Steam Workshop support.
