"When one thinks of the post-apocalypse, it almost always involves some form of nuclear destruction, plague, or even zombie threat as the survivors struggle to continue living in a world that wants them dead. Usually these are set in a North American city or greater region, sometimes in Europe, but what about a place where the wildlife wants to kill its residents even on a normal day? Few games take advantage of Australia and the unique aspects the continent provides, even less in a post-apocalyptic Australia. So when indie developer Drop Bear Bytes worked hard to put out a CRPG called Broken Roads, where players have a moral compass, choices to make, and a world to survive in all while exploring Western Australia, it seemed like a perfect chance for something new. If only the game’s name didn’t end up having a double-meaning in the end."
XBA says: Broken Roads is brimming with character and caught us off guard in the Australian Outback.
"The Bellevue-based (Washington, the US) indie games publisher tinyBuild and Torquay-based (Victoria, Australia) indie games developer Drop Bear Bytes, are today very excited and glad to announce that their post-apocalyptic turn-based RPG “Broken Roads”, is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Broken Roads is an Australian-set CRPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. Is it ripper or does it belong in a dunny? JDR puts on sun cream for today's review.
