Broken Roads was born of a love for traditional isometric computer role-playing, and will provide a rich, engaging narrative in which players make their way across a desolated Australia.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyApr 20244.5/5 starsThere aren’t too many truly authentic games set in Australia, made by Australians, telling Australian stories. Broken Roads is one, and it is one of the most different and interesting games you’ll play this year on that basis alone. Yes there are more refined RPGs out there, but none of those will take you on a crash course through Australian mannerisms while delivering a compelling narrative of human resilience, community, weakness and savagery.

GBAtempPrans DunnApr 20248.8/10An impressive debut title from Drop Bear Bytes, Broken Roads has what it takes to be considered as one of the iconic contemporary cRPGs.

TheGamerJames TroughtonApr 20244/5 starsBroken Roads is an ode to the cRPGs of old, but it’s also a step forward for the genre, showing that the ‘90s approach still has a place today. The turn-based combat is punchy and responsive, the art style is gorgeous, and the roleplaying capabilities brought about by its revolutionary morality system lift Broken Roads out of the shadows of its inspirations and into its own spotlight.

RPG SitePaige ChamberlainApr 20243/10I was excited to see my country represented properly in a video game, and that did happen. Sadly the game itself isn't worth a damn, it's a classic style RPG but none of my choices matter and I can hardly make any of them. The only real redeeming quality is the art.

EurogamerRuth CassidyApr 20242/5Broken Roads neglects its best ideas, padding out its runtime with fetch quests that leave you asking "why am I here?" for all the wrong reasons.
