Death Roads: Tournament Reviews

Geras ! Patinka !

Worth a try if you like Monster Train or Slay the Spire! Fun mechanics, you can modify your deck between fights by adding and removing components from your car for example. Plenty of mechanics to explore. The balance doesn't feel quite perfect to me with some drivers/cars and especially combos feeling way stronger than others, but that's tolerable in a single player game.

This is a sort of deckbuilder turn-based strategy game, where you are in a deadly race fighting opponents as you go towards the finish, swapping out parts of your car for new ones along the way. So a new engine replaces your old engine, which basically swaps out a subset of cards for new ones. Same with tires, weapons, and gadgets. So you are trying to build a decent deck to take on opponents as you race down a highway to a final boss encounter. You also collect scrap along the way that you can use at shops to buy new parts (cards) for your car or make repairs to the damage you have taken. You unlock new cars and drivers as you play, and each car and driver have a different starting deck so it becomes fun to try and beat with different combinations of cars and drivers. It's a challenge, especially at first. But once you get the hang of it it is pretty fun. It reminds me of a table top game i used to play in junior high called Car Wars.
