The Walking Dead: Road to Survival is a brand new RPG based off of the comics, and more loosely, the TV show of the same name. Plans are to incorporate storylines from Fear The Walking Dead into it later as well, but for now, this game takes place in Woodbury, GA, during the worst of it. Your management will build Woodbury into a productive town, and your choices determine whether to side with the Governor or to side with the others.
Looks like more great Walking Dead stuff ahead as the Road to Survival will take a story arch from the Telltale series.
While I am a fan of the whole “zombie survival” subgenre of post-apocalyptic fiction, and a casual admirer of The Walking Dead in particular, I am hopelessly behind on the show. Being so far behind, I had hoped that Road to Survival, the latest addition to the Walking Dead canon, would stand on its own rather than a piece of show-specific merchandise. Sadly, anyone but diehard fans of TWD will be disappointed.
The Walking Dead: Road to Survival puts you in the shoes of the Woodbury crew, and your choices determine whether you become one of the good guys or the bad guys. Either way, you're going to need to do a hell of a lot of leveling up and upgrading to your characters to keep up with the difficulty increases, as well as to successfully raid other players.
