Broken Roads - turn-based Australian post-apocalyptic RPG with "unique morality system"

Writing is going to be AIDS.

Been discussed in this thread, they received funding from the Australian government so they're legally obligated to plaster that greengrocer sign everywhere.

How is it possible that a nation of descendants of hardened convicts, living in a hellhole filled with deadliest creatures on earth, somehow managed to turn into the most cucked snowflakes in just a few generations?

They are also from the most cucked part of Australia, too.

The Australian broadcasting communists.

Sounds like the sound of a car engine, after the "traditional custodians of the land" stole the petrol from it and huffed it

Well, they're fucked then. The Australian games industry is tiny and the majority of writing is ass. Especially with government funded trash.

Sounds pretty cool and badass tbh, great name for an orc tribe.

Pretty sure they basically have to do that now? Might indicate they are indeed using a bit of indigenous stuff after all. Then again apparently Wadawurrung is in Victoria, not W.A which is where I thought they set it so fk knows.

Combat is basic and limited

After playing the demo, I was not surprised about this

As long as the game lets me shoot degenerated abo cannibals and disgusting commies, I am fine with everything else.

Because the game will let me shoot them, right?

Reviewers are being abnormally savage with this one. Did someone not get paid?

 

[Shaki]

Damn, if even game journos hate it despite the devs being so woke, it must be really, reeeeeaaally shit

Another whammy of a review: https://www.eurogamer.net/broken-roads-review 2/5

A copy of Broken Roads was provided for review by Versus Evil and tinyBuild.

How long ago was this?

 

[Hellraiser]

I'm waiting for the only review that matters, the official codex review by Darth Roxor

Listen closely for the first 3 seconds. Then close the video.

 

[agris]

They should honestly fucking rename the damn things while keeping them functionally the same
It's like rulke 1 of rpg design to make the rules evocative of the setting
so triggered by this

It’s an amateur effort through and through

 

[fantadomat]

Sooo it could be good then...

 

[Hellraiser]

Listen closely for the first 3 seconds. Then close the video.

In case that is not enough, there's this part to let you know the writing is most certainly garbage:



"Every male is a soyboy or shy/timid or incompetent, every female is a grrrl boss"

This sounds even worse than the outer turds. This is not even going into the "buy when really discounted" box.

"Every male is a soyboy or shy/timid or incompetent, every female is a grrrl boss"

Boy. I was thinking of giving it a chance, but so tired of this style of writing.
