Tags: Convoy; Kickstarter

Never thought I'd see the legacy of Roadwar 2000 and Autoduel continued but here it seemingly is. Convoy is marketed as FTL meets Mad Max and has a lot of the hallmarks of the earlier classics. As a huge Roadwar fan I must say that the prospect of once again navigating a convoy across a dangerous postapocalyptic wasteland while scrounging for supplies and upgrades is a tantalising one. Them not naming those old classics on the other hand is rather disappointing to me. Perhaps I'm just getting old. Check out their Kickstarter if you're interested.

Asked them if they were influenced by ye olde Roadwar 2000 and Autoduel. Turns out they weren't. Hope they'll at least take a look at those classics. Lots of ideas they could simply copy into theirs.

'Thanks for covering us! A few people have been asking if we were inspired by Roadwar 2000, Autoduel, and Car Wars. We weren't... In fact we haven't actually heard of any of these games (shame on us!) but I suspect it's because they were mostly "before our time". '

I may not play this game, but I'm glad games like this exist.

Seems pretty cool. Hope they make it. Wasn't something similar offered recently on KS? From the guys that made Banner Saga (was it Bedlam?)? Wonder what are the differences, except that the Banner Saga guys will get a lot more money for their KS, of course...

Bedlam was familiar, yeah.. But the combat system there was basically reskin of Banner Saga. (TB, guys against guys)

The combat in Convoy seems much more interesting imo.

Bedlam was a Banner Saga meets FTL. This is Roadwar 2000.

This looks great. I might back it, but I'll definitely get it if I don't.

Aight, gave in and backed it. Looks really up my alley, and the theme is also cool.
