A nice single-player only strategy game. Desert Law will differently appeal to Mad Max fans and fans of post-apocalyptic fiction. There is no base building, resource gathering or micro-management. It is a budget game and it shows, but it is a great little distraction for just $5. The graphics, although out-of-date are still very nicely detailed. They are 2D isometric with 3D vehicles and they also have very nice weather effects. Even without any multiplayer you are still getting a lot of content for just $5 as Desert law has a long campaign of around 30 missions of different varieties.

Gameplay is good but the only big major problem I had was that if a story character dies, it is an automatic mission failure. This can be sometimes frustrating because enemies can take out your vehicles and characters pretty quickly if they all target one in your group. So sending out your non-character units to the front of your convey is a must for success, which can be annoying because there is no option to change the types formations of your units like there are in other strategy games. Despite that issue the gameplay is still fun if you are able to overlook those major faults.
