== 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. The map setup is very similar to the previous installment "Spintires" in the series as maps contain similar amounts of these elements and naming (e.g. "Flood" in Spintires and "Deluge" in Mudrunner).
