RPG Site reviewed the post-apocalytic RPG Broken Roads:

Broken Roads Review

The number of games set wholly in Australia (that aren't sports games) is terribly small, so as an Australian, I was most excited to learn of Broken Roads, a CRPG set in post-apocalyptic Western Australia, even more so upon laying eyes on it. Set within the post-apocalyptic society that remained in Western Australia's wheat belt you blow in from wherever to work around the lovely town of Brookton before it's attacked. From there you try to find a way to rebuild and involve yourself in numerous other people's problems.

I 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. Many systems and choices are just odd and make it unfun to play. They have a roadmap to change some issues I had, and some minor odd design decisions have already been fixed, but we'll have to wait and see if that really fixes the poor story. The only real redeeming quality this game has is the art.

Score: 3/10

Thanks Couchpotato!

I'm surprised RPG Site even reviewed it tbh. If it were a JRPG, it wouldn't have been scored lower than a 6/10.

The reviewer doesn't appear to be a fan. Hopefully they will at least work to address the reported bugs.

Yeah, this reviewer is more excited about things like an eating-pizza emote now being purchaseable in FF14:

Meh probably biased but when looking at all the professional reviews it's a mixed bag.
