Whilst I’m not a big fan of roguelikes - the permanent loss of progress really bugs me - I decided to force myself out of my comfort zone and tackle the science fiction strategy roguelike Convoy. I did, after all, enjoy Rogue Legacy not too long ago, though at least progress in that actually means something.
Liam Lambert, GIZORAMA - "Sometimes, a game thrives because it pioneers a unique, never before seen set of rules, mechanics or systems. Other times, a game thrives simply because it learns from the successes and mistakes of its peers, and because its designers understand one important rule: if you’re going to steal, steal from the best. Such is Convoy, a game which can only be described as a tactical “CaR-PG” (if that’s not a thing, it totally should be), combining as it does the best elements of pen and paper RPGs and Mad Max, then injecting a huge amount of FTL-inspired rogue-like vehicular combat. It’s unashamedly derivative, which winds up being its greatest strength, and its most glaring weakness."
Convoy takes the classic roguelike formula and drops it into a Mad Max inspired, post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Grab your trucker hat and get the leather jacket.. We got ourselves a Convoy!
