DETOUR is an exciting construction-based war game in which players pit their minds and their might against one another in order to safely guide a hapless delivery truck across a deadly battlefield! With DETOUR, Sandswept Studios puts a colorful twist on the RTS genre, creating a game that is both simple to learn, and complex to master — like a chess game with bombs! DETOUR sports endless amounts of unique strategies, a built-in map editor, AI opponents, 5 distinct modes of play, 27 single-player challenges, unlockables, online play, an epic soundtrack, and much, much more!
Detour had a little something I was looking forward to when I first heard about it. My first PC game I ever had was something called Gearheads. It was a game where you wound up motorized toys and let them loose on the play-field to try and get ten of your own toys to cross over past your opponent’s side of the table. Detour is very similar in concept except it’s with trucks on roads.
You must build a road from your depot to the other side of the map, while your opponent does the same. Sometimes you’ll be criss-crossing over each other’s roads, and sometimes it’s a head-on exchange. The game works best when it’s a criss-cross however, as even though when your trying to cross to opposite sides of the map, you can still totally miss each other. The game then becomes a passive experience where you just try to build faster then your opponent rather then make any kind of effort to disrupt their progress. And this I’m disappointed to say, is where the game falls flat.
