    An interesting roguelike RPG in a madmaxey sci-fiworld. The tactical car combat is fluid and addictive. Pretty much everything is a sci-fi reference, which can be a burden. [Aug 2015]

    While Convoy could easily and mistakenly be wrote off as another 'clone', one of the most challenging and grittiest indie titles of the year would be missed out on. If Mad Max: Fury Road turns out to be half this good, I'll be set for life.

    Convoy name-checks some heavy hitting properties, but manages to be more than the sum of its parts.

    Convoy is a great experience, very well designed and deep. The best part of it is that it doesn't hide behind retro graphics aiming for a retro feeling; it does feel like a true classic game.

    A sort of spiritual successor to FTL, Convoy is as fun as is sadistic, and will torture you with its challenges while keeping you interested and amused. The clear inspiration from Mad Max is only another virtue.

    Whether you end comes in 15 minutes or 2 hours, Convoy lets you tell your own story of hardship on the uncaring tarmac of this turbulent world.

    Although the title stays a little too close to its roguelike blueprint, the open-ended nature and eye-catching, fluid battlegrounds make Convoy a thoroughly enjoyable and incredibly addictive journey into a post-apocayptic wasteland.

Superficially, it's a cool little Mad Max game, built along similar lines to FTL. Once you've spent a couple of hours with it, the game dies under the weight of a wildly under sophisticated combat engine. Your main truck is just a fixture in the center of a highway that never curves or changes. Support vehicles can move around as satellites on a very basic grid. It's an auto combat game with no driving or maneuvering, only positioning within the confines of a hundred foot section of a seven lane road. As a result, the only thing you really do is choose which incoming vehicle to focus fire on, using a "variety" of weapons that don't actually do anything interesting enough to feel different. Sometimes a bad game can a good fit for a certain group of people, but, in this case, I'm not sure I could tell you who that group would be. People who find comfort in extreme repetition, perhaps. (Side note here for the tabletop people: If, like me, you are one of the Car Wars people... just move along. There is nothing to see here. You could buy five Hot Wheels and two six sided dice and come up with a far more entertaining game in 20 minutes.) I barely noticed myself playing 400 hours of FTL when it launched. I could not have made it to 4 hours with Convoy if you'd put a gun to my head. Profoundly disappointing.… Full Review »

Unfortunately, the setting is about it's only attractive ingredient. The strategic and tactical elements are feeble and strangled by luck, and the writing leans too heavily on clichés and pop culture references. Avoid.… Full Review »
