Detour: Highway Simulator

A Real Time Strategy (RTS) game by Sandswept Studios, released in 2011

No Rating🔴Niche / Inactive🥉Proton BronzeLinuxPC (Microsoft Windows)

DETOUR combines the highway building fun from the Sim City series with the addictive excitement of real-time-strategy games like Starcraft and Command & Conquer. The goal of the game is simple: forge a path for your convoy of trucks to reach its destination, but obtaining your goal often requires a mix of smart resource allocation, clever route planning, and strategic thinking. Your AI and human enemies will try to stop your progress with routes of their own.
