    OK for a game made by a small team this is amazing and a great RPG game since there's no true Pokemon title for the switch yet and it has fun mechanics like fire emblem and i cant wait to play more of it

    Bought on sale for 96 pence and was a game with a story so intriguing to me that I spent almost 30 hours fully upgrading everything ready for the final stage of the journey. Great budget game

    Plague Road attempts to bring an interesting blend of RPG combat and strategic management but unfortunately ends up feeling like a bare bones experience that falls short of it's own ambition.

    For a game made by such a small team, Plague Road drips with genuine quality. Mechanically, it’s a tight, efficient roguelike that gets the core gameplay loop down perfectly, which means that it can be very hard to put down. Some misfires in how the game is themed and presentation let it down, however. It’s not quite as cohesive as I wanted it to be, and while the art style is tantalising, the game ultimately fails to build the lore and fiction that it needed to give it the depth it needed to be something truly special.

    Plague Road is a valiant attempt at combining divergent concepts into a cohesive and interesting package. But as interesting as it may be to make the first roguelike base-building strategy RPG, it’s missing a layer of depth to drive it beyond curiosity into the realm of compulsory design. There’s plenty to like here, and if you’re in the mood for a morose adventure down a bleak path to a ruined world this may be for you. If you’re just looking to casually save the world from an outbreak, however, you may want to think carefully.
