Broken Roads (2024)
Broken Roads is a 2024 role-playing (rpg) video game made by Drop Bear Bytes and Versus Evil.
Drop Bear Bytes builds this isometric role-playing game on a love of the genre's classics and sets it across a desolated Australia. A classless system leaves character growth wide open, while its standout feature, the Moral Compass, tracks where you sit among competing philosophies. Dialogue and quest choices nudge that compass, and your leanings in turn shape which options open to you. The result asks you to live by a worldview rather than a stat sheet. Dusty towns, hand-drawn portraits, and turn-based fights round out a grounded, thoughtful take on the post-apocalypse.

A few thoughts on Broken Roads
Its parched, lawless Australia is the same country the film Mad Max: Fury Road tears across, and its philosophy-driven talking recalls Disco Elysium above all. For the wider ruin-and-rebuild fantasy, the Fallout games remain the obvious next stop for anyone who wants to wander the wasteland and decide who to become.
