Feels more like the game is playing you since there is not enough player agency. All the random events are bandits where you can "attack" or "avoid" which usually ends up in a fight too, even when you pay 5 fuel to boost away and avoid fighting you're just fighting with less fuel now. I take one step from the start of the game and am attacked by raiders that take my total vehicles' health to half, then another …

The game is *almost* good. There's effort put here, and love. The game features a lot of content, a very big game world and a cool Mad Max style theme. But it is very unfair and frustrating, there are some things that are just poorly done and that will make it hard for you to keep playing. So I can't really recommend it, though I kinda like the game.

Great game, and I feel like most of the negative reviews are a bit harsh. Will it succeed to hold your attention for many runs in a row? I don't know. But not every game needs to have infinite replayability. It's okay to play it, finish it, and move on to the next game. But the combat is really fun and the music slaps. Enough to at least give you a very fun first run. The game's got great humour on top of that, and …

Convoy is good for one play-through but personally I can't stomach anymore of the hell that is traversing the overworld map and managing fuel. Pros: + Interesting combat focused on positioning, LoS targeting, and elimination priorities. + Interesting quests and random events on the first play through. Cons: - Overworld traversal is a mess, both with fuel/systems management and lack of QoL features such as zooming …

The description of FTL+Mad Max is absolutely accurate. I don't know what the people saying it's nothing like FTL are talking about. It has the closest feel as any game i've played since. No, it's not a carbon copy but it's almost as addictive, the combat is doing it's own thing and still is fun and interesting. A little shorter, and the writing doesn't take itself too seriously. Slightly lower production value than …

Players who liked Convoy talk about fun and tactical vehicular combat; those who didn't talk about overworld traversal and fuel management are frustrating. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received a score of 72/100 on reviews aggregation website Metacritic, indicating mixed reviews. A 3.6 out of 5 stars on the good old games store. And a "Mostly Positive" Rating on the Steam Store. Alec Meer, in his review at Rock, Paper, Shotgun described it as an "FTL on wheels", but found the game too unforgiving and with fewer options for the player to recover from disadvantaged positions. But did indicate that he was playing a pre release build of the game. And said "in fact it's already improved and tightened up across the couple of weeks I’ve been sporadically playing it for"

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…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game looked like an interesting mix of FTL and Car Wars, but was disappointing and frustrating for me. First of all, it appears to be a lazy port from Xbox to PC, with a clunky and buggy interface. But that's the least of this game's problems. Combat is helter-skelter and often stacked against you, and not nearly as tactical as I thought it would be. To make matters worse are randomly appearing obstacles that are hard to avoid, and crashing into them will instantly destroy a vehicle.…

neutral · AI labelView post →It was a good game until I ran into the boss. Insane difficulty spike, even when playing on easy. Would not recommend for that reason alone. Shoddy work from the developers on the boss battle. How did they completely drop the bag like that? Idk, but it's real shame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Significantly Different from FTL The game was inspired by FTL as per the developers, and it has been compared to FTL very often, but it differs from FTL in significant ways that change the gameplay entirely. Instead of making linear progress from one end of the galaxy to another, in this game, after crash-landing on a planet with your spaceship, you freely roam around the (hostile) planet with your convoy in search of replacements for your broken ship parts. This means you can prepare for…

So decided to come back and leave a review just to show my support for this. This is a convoy game where you have your command vehicle (you lose if it dies) and then a bunch of optional vehicles you can obtain over a run. You can upgrade all of them with…

neutral · AI labelView post →Combat mechanics are unique and can be a lot of fun at times. The overall game loop is pretty solid. The theme is fun and UI elements are charming. Why I wouldn't recommend it, is it couldn't hold my attention for a number of reasons. Music is really out of place, downtempo and doesn't match the theme. You would expect excitement due to the mad max style vehicles and combat, but the music is super calm and puts me to sleep. RNG is pretty high, so all it takes is a few bad events and unlucky…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay repetitive and quests are just dice rolls or copies of what you have already seen. Certain side quests yield the same result every time, so you just go through the motions every time you recognize the text. Also, when you seek out a radio beacon, the randomly chosen quest will either help you or hurt you, even if you know all the outcomes, so accepting sidequests isn't strategic, just random if they hurt or help you.

After sinking dozens of hours into that wonderful game – even beating the boss maybe twice!? – I went scouring Steam for another experience that could scratch that itch. Convoy ticks many of the same boxes; a pause-able, top-down tactical battler that tasks you with roaming a hostile overworld, managing scarce resources and tangling with both real-time battles and…

But that comparison falls a little short. Put briefly, if you like FTL's infinite space mod, you'll probably like this game. The main points of comparison are the upgrade mechanics, where you start off far too weak to fight and build your way up by scrapping through fights and pulling side objectives to build yourself up. The main difference is that in FTL, you're…
