Broken Roads is bringing an antipodean twist to the post-apocalyptic RPG on 14 November
PC, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One screens are set to become a wasteland on 14 November. Broken Road, the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG from Drop Bear Bytes and versus Evil is barely a month away from launch. With the news of a release date, anybody looking to get out on the road with this adventure can prepare ahead of a tale that packs in plenty of moral twists.
Designed as a narrative lead adventure, Broken Roads takes place in the unforgiving outback of Western Australia. While you won’t need to know how the world crumbled, you will need to deal with the fallout. Mixing exploration, strategic turn-based combat and meaningful philosophical choices, players will find themselves doing whatever they deem necessary to survive. Along the way, your choices will influence an original morality system: the Moral Compass. This novel design sees dialogue options and questing decisions influence, and be influenced by, a character’s philosophical leaning.
Sometimes, however moral, scuffles take place. Strategic combat and a deep classless progression system mean that there are plenty of ways to navigate and fight your way through the challenges of everyday living. With decaying urban centres, unrelenting outback weather and even local wildlife waiting for you to head out and forge an adventure, Broken Roads seems to promise a dep and fulfilling RPS experience. If you love a bit of Baldur’s Gate 3 but want a little less fantasy, this might be right up your highway. Find out if all that philosophical forethought and character development is worth it over at the Broken Roads website now.
