Post-apocalyptic RPG Broken Roads in the works for Switch

Drop Bear Bytes today announced Broken Roads, a game that involves traveling through authentic Australian locations in a desolate future. It’s a traditional isometric RPG, but with new role-playing elements.

Here’s some additional information as well as a trailer:

The game tells the story of a group of companions as they make their way across Western Australia, encountering new friends, overcoming terrible enemies, and uncovering a mystery behind ever-stranger happenings in the Never Never.

Broken Roads’ real-time exploration and turn-based combat is beautifully illustrated with hand-drawn artwork throughout, with the goal of offering an experience of playing in concept art – 3D characters, VFX, 2D environments and props all follow this painterly style.

The game also presents players with an original morality system: the Moral Compass. This novel design sees dialogue options and questing decisions influence, and be influenced by, a character’s philosophical leaning. Player decisions will shift a character’s philosophical leaning and alter their future choices, as well as open up Moral Traits which can help or hinder.

Broken Roads will be shown off for the first time at PAX Australia between October 11 and October 13. The game is expected to launch in 2021.
