Gameplay
MudRunner is an all-terrain simulation video game which tasks driving through muddy unpaved roads in aging Soviet vehicles with nothing but a map and a compass. The aim of the game is to transport logs to their destination without depleting resources (such as fuel) or damaging the vehicle. There is both a single-player and multiplayer co-op mode that both use the same main six maps (base game), with an addition of 3 American maps and 2 Russian maps along with DLC content. Over the game's time, there have been 4 batches of DLC content added introducing new vehicles (some licensed), new gameplay maps and challenge maps.
The main game maps often included various off-roading elements such as water bodies and rivers, paved roads, trails and changes in elevation (particularly evident in maps such as "Island" and "Downhill") which enable the player to experience a larger and more accurate simulation of the genre. g. "Flood" in Spintires and "Deluge" in Mudrunner).
Reception
On review aggregation site Metacritic, MudRunner has aggregate scores of 67 and 72 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game respectively, indicating "mixed or average reviews", and a score of 77 for the PC version, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Nintendo Life gave the Nintendo Switch version of the game a 7/10, praising the quality port to the Switch and the lush environments of the American Wilds DLC included with the game, while criticizing "frustrating design faults" from the previous version, such as the lack of an automatic navigation system.
