The concept is good. Mad Max style roadcombat with some quirky writing. Learning curve is quite steep and the combat is decent with vehicle and weapon variety. So why the negative review? Twice now I have completed missions in game only to drive towards the reward site and find that it is in fact OUTSIDE the playable map... This game punishes you for wasting time, difficulty scales with time (as far as I can see) so it becomes hugely frustrating when, after a literally wild goose chase (turkey chase. Those who have played the game will know the event) and then come up with less than nothing for it. Fix the bugs. Maybe expand the number of radio signals as I have had so many repeat on me. I want to recommend this, and I will gladly change my review if the bugs are fixed. I will come back after it has been patched, if it will be that is. Going to go play some FTL now I think to scratch this itch.

About This Game
Convoy is a tactical roguelike-like inspired by Mad Max and FTL in which you cross a wasteland in search of parts for your broken ship.
Presented in pixel art and set in a future post-apocalyptic setting, Convoy is a squad based tactical roguelike-like in its core. You travel with your combat vehicles and convoy across a wasteland to find parts needed to repair your broken spaceship. During your journey you will encounter strangers in randomized scenarios by picking up radio signals.
Depending on the choices you make, signals can either lead to tactical combat, text based dialogue or chance based role-play. Whatever choice you make, you need to keep your convoy and its cargo safe from raiders, privateers and other enemies. Keep upgrading your vehicles, as death is permanent in Convoy.

The UI is horrible. Graphics are all over the place. Sometimes left click to do things, sometimes right click. No consistency anywhere.
