DUSTLINE • The Ridge

DUSTLINE • The Ridge puts a third-person shooter in a stark, low-poly landscape of sandy flats, angular mountains and scattered pines. South Ridge’s flat-roofed buildings, shipping containers and winding road form the backdrop to a tense survival scene.

An armored character carries a rifle beneath the warning: “Survive the closing zone.” The combat HUD shows 20 alive, a zone countdown, health and armor, plus Kestrel AR and Morrow DMR weapon slots with ammunition readouts.

A compass and overhead minimap help orient the action, while visible controls cover firing, aiming, crouching, jumping and reloading. Muted teal, pale sand and amber accents give the battlefield and its crisp interface a distinctive, restrained look.
