Broken Roads is an isometric Aussie Fallout

[ad_1]

Publisher Team 17 has announced it’s signed Broken Roads, an upcoming isometric RPG set in a post-apocalyptic Australia. The game is in development from the superbly named Drop Bear Bytes studio, which hails from Torquay in Australia, and the trailer manages to mention beer in the first ten seconds, so it feels pretty authentic.

Broken Roads’ post-apocalypse is built around real-world locations and landmarks, and the press bumpf makes a great deal of fuss about its narrative ambitions and “the complex stories of Australia’s survivors.” The immediate comparison is the earlier Fallout games, of course: the isometric style, the turn-based combat, the post-apocalyptic theme, and the promise of big, difficult decisions.

Survivors talk in a bar in Broken Roads, a rare respite.

But the grand shadow of Disco Elysium also looms large here, albeit in a simplified fashion, with a system called the Moral Compass.
