Our take on Broken Roads
Rather than sorting choices into good and evil, the game centers morality on philosophical leanings that can shift during play. That system makes personal worldview part of character development and connects decisions to relationships, quests, and story outcomes.
What is Broken Roads?
Broken Roads is a role-playing game with a traveling party in a ruined future version of Western Australia.
The journey crosses the Outback, damaged cities, and harsh deserts, combining combat, alliances, political plots, and discoveries about the region’s past. Characters develop without fixed classes, allowing abilities and skills to be shaped in varied ways. Its Moral Compass centers on philosophical perspectives rather than a binary good-and-evil scale. Conversations and mission choices can alter those perspectives, while the protagonist’s outlook also affects decisions. These shifts influence relationships, narrative routes, and final results. Branching missions, several possible conclusions, detailed lore, and encounters with other characters form an adventure described as lasting over 25 hours.
