In Mad Max, the player takes on the role of titular character Mad Max; a
dangerous melee fighter and can use his attacks to kill almost anyone. His weapon of
choice is his shotgun. He is assisted by another man called Chumbucket. Chum mainly
works with Max to build and upgrade the Magnum Opus vehicle. Mad Max will feature a
variety of weapons which Max can use to defeat enemies. Though the shotgun is
Max's weapon of choice, ammo is scarce, and so melee options are the smarter way
to go. The 'thunderstick' is an explosive weapon that can be lanced into
an enemy's chest, crackling like a lit dynamite fuse before blowing the victim
to smithereens. The Harpoon is also one of Max's favorite weapon though it can
only be used in-vehicle with Chum riding along. Max's Magnum Opus can be
combined with a speedy V12 engine and powerful ramming ability to destroy
enemies's vehicles and weaponry. When simultaneously driving and aiming, the
game enters slow-motion and allows you to toggle between targets. Not much is known
about the vehicular combat and its features. Mad Max will feature crafting system which
can be used to craft new weapons and tools. Max's garage can also be used to
change and modify the car's engines, chassis, wheels, body works including paint
treatment and the “shell” of the auto-mobile and the car’s weight and attributes update
accordingly. Max can also be upgraded though it's plans hasn't fully
been implemented. Many choices are given in the game, such as, either playing silently
or aggressively. Max can also get guidance from Chum about how he can complete his
objectives strategically. However, its largely up to the player how he can complete the
objectives.
