Sand: Raiders of Sophie is gearing up to join the crowded field of extraction shooters when it launches in March, but it sets itself apart with some truly distinctive style. Set in an alternate 1910, the game lets you pilot a massive, steampunk-inspired walking fortress across expansive desert landscapes. It’s a bold twist on the usual guns-blazing formula, giving players a chance to commandeer an imposing mechanical leviathan as they scavenge and fight for survival. The game was previously known simply as Sand, which didn’t exactly inspire confidence for discovery online, so the new subtitle feels like a smart move to give it some personality. With its striking aesthetic and promising premise, Sand: Raiders of Sophie could carve out its own niche in a genre that’s becoming ever more popular.
