Death Roads: Tournament

wow, i didnt ecpect much but im blown away! having an incredible time playing this game, its a nice twist on the genre, highly recommend!

I don't typically bounce off of roguelike deckbuilders, but I did off of this one. As others have indicated, it's relatively unpolished (not updated since 1.0 release), and I actually found the modularity of deck construction to be limiting rather than interesting (there are only a certain number of "components" to your build, and adding a new one means removing an existing one).

It seemed interesting and was on sale. I tried it out, was ok until I ran into gamebreaking bugs where it gets stuck on the enemy AI's turn and there is no way out except exiting to the menu or closing the game and losing all progress for the fight. I was almost done and managed to not take any damage in my fight and then it froze. Restarting it gave me a new layout of battle that caused significant damage to my car. I looked it up and many others have had this issue since 2023. 1.0 was dropped in 2023 and so was the game after that. No updates or fixes besides adding achievements and ads for movies. I'm good, I have other games that don't break mid fight. With no updates I know this bug will not go away, so I will.

Game is fun but gets old quickly, and lacks polishing. Has been abandoned since it's release in 2023, no new updates, nothing.

Bought the game on deep discount, finished it from the second try and uninstalled. The opponent AI is non-existent and very easy to beat. Get into high gear, drop as far back as possible, wait for the opponents to present their trunks to your weapons, kill them. The game has no penalties for dropping too far behind. Also, the opponents will shield you from their comrades/try to shoot you through them. Their behavior boils down to beelining for the spot from which they can attack you and ramming your car, usually for small damage, if they can't. Zero challenge

Good card game, worth it.
