Melbourne, Nov 1: Independent game developer Drop Bear Bytes, in partnership with Versus Evil, has unveiled a tantalizing glimpse into one of the player character origin stories within their highly anticipated isometric RPG, “Broken Roads.”
With the game’s launch on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One just around the corner on November 14th, this sneak peek into the world of “Broken Roads” has generated considerable excitement among gaming enthusiasts.
Meet the Hired Gun: “Broken Roads” invites players to traverse the Australian post-apocalyptic outback as they choose one of four distinct character classes: Hired Gun, Barter Crew, Jackaroo, and Surveyor. The recently released video delves into the life of the Hired Gun, a character moulded by a harsh upbringing.
Trained as a sharpshooter by their authoritarian parents, who lived by the maxim, “a hungry kid shoots better,” the Hired Gun now embarks on a solitary quest to navigate the enigmatic world they inhabit. Gamers can experience the Hired Gun’s journey firsthand in the “Broken Roads” demo, available on Steam.
Unveiling “Broken Roads”: “Broken Roads” is a narrative-driven RPG that seamlessly blends exploration, strategic turn-based combat, and impactful philosophical choices within a distinctive Australian post-apocalyptic setting.
Offering a classless character development system, the game allows players to shape their characters around four core philosophies: Humanist, Utilitarian, Machiavellian, and Nihilist.
Furthermore, the game introduces a novel morality system, the Moral Compass, where a character’s philosophy influences and is influenced by their dialogue choices and quest decisions.
An Authentic Australian Experience: “Broken Roads” prides itself on the authenticity of its in-game locations, meticulously recreated from field visits to towns and landmarks in Western Australia.
These visits, documented through photos, videos, and audio recordings, lend a genuine touch to the game’s setting.
The game’s atmospheric soundtrack, composed by Tim Sunderland, utilizes instruments crafted from everyday objects, resulting in a truly distinctive tone.
With its enticing blend of traditional and innovative role-playing elements, “Broken Roads” allows players to shape their character’s destiny within a beautifully rendered post-apocalyptic Australian landscape. As the release date approaches, anticipation is building for this immersive RPG experience.
