Premise and setting
Convoy drops you into a harsh, post-collapse landscape where survival depends on motorized firepower and clever decisions. You lead a small fleet of armed vehicles on a desperate mission: scavenge parts to repair a stranded spacecraft. The world blends bleak road-war aesthetics with procedurally generated events and a tense, survival-focused tone.
How the game plays
The experience is a tactical roguelike built around convoy management. You outfit and command multiple combat vehicles, balance limited supplies, and make choices that shape your progress. Each run demands careful planning because mistakes can be permanent — death means starting over.
Types of encounters
Encounters arrive via intercepted radio transmissions and are randomized to keep each run unpredictable. Outcomes depend on the choices you make and can take several different forms:
- Role-playing events governed by chance and player stats
- Tactical skirmishes resolved on a vehicle-based battlefield
- Interactive, text-driven exchanges that affect crew and cargo
Upgrades, resources, and risk
A major focus is on upgrading your convoy and allocating scarce resources between repairs, ammo, fuel, and equipment. Strategic investment in vehicle improvements is essential to survive longer runs. The permadeath mechanic increases tension and rewards cautious, deliberate play.
Threats on the road
The wasteland is full of hostile actors and environmental hazards that will test your convoy:
- Mercenary privateers and hired corsairs
- Loot-seeking bandits and raider gangs
- Randomized events that can damage cargo, crew, or vehicles
Visual style and influences
The game uses retro pixel art to convey its gritty world, pairing simple visuals with deep systems. Its design takes cues from road-war fiction and procedural strategy titles to deliver a lean, replayable adventure.
Why it’s compelling
Convoy appeals to players who enjoy tactical decision-making under pressure, emergent storytelling from randomized events, and the high stakes of permadeath. Every run tells a different story, and every choice can be the difference between salvage and ruin.
