Our take on Rubber and Lead
Its vehicle-first combat ties progression to cars, weapons, and skills, but leaves little room for other kinds of play. Players seeking a broader RPG structure with exploration, dialogue, or varied non-combat activities may find the format narrow.
What is Rubber and Lead?
Rubber and Lead is a 2D, top-down vehicle combat RPG set in post-apocalyptic Arizona.
Players drive and shoot through the region, choosing missions and fighting in arenas. The game combines action with RPG elements: skills can be leveled, cars can be replaced or upgraded, weapons can be equipped, and perks can be bought. Combat focuses on using a vehicle and its weapons against enemies, including raiders. The game is presented as a homage to AutoDuel, a 1985 game. Its structure centers on mission runs, arena fights, and character and vehicle progression.
