Road Dogs

Road Dogs is an MMORPG about privateers and traders in a post-nuclear Arizona. You travel between settlements in sealed vehicles, where fuel is the main source of life and the engine of the economy. Nukeoil Corporation controls the underground fuel stores and distributes fuel only in exchange for its Nucoins cryptocurrency.

The post-nuclear world

After nuclear war plunges the planet into a dark winter, travel between cities and towns becomes possible only in hermetically equipped vehicles. People communicate through radio waves, and the glow of instrument panels replaces sunlight. The setting combines the privateer-and-trader premise with a global mode and role-playing elements.

Vehicles and battles

You can drive motorcycles, buggies, sports cars, trucks, vans, buses, armored vehicles, tanks and artillery. Each vehicle can have a custom name, appearance, weapons, armor, tuning and gadgets. Battles take place in real time, with PvP encounters that have no limit on the number of participants; stealth and ambushes mean you need intelligence to determine how many opponents are involved.

The game uses a classic character-role and party system. You can take on non-damage-dealer roles such as scout, artilleryman, party leader, engineer, or ammunition and fuel delivery driver. Available equipment includes drones, UAVs, MRLS, mines and guided missiles.

Trade and consequences

The live economy includes trade vehicles traveling between settlements, which players can protect or rob. You can kill or save other characters, with the karma system determining how your actions come back to you. Players can also create quests and trade them with one another.

Settlements and clans

You can buy land and build or develop settlements, car service centers, shops, bars, brothels and car dealerships. The game also supports creating clans and developing clan cities.

Radio stations

There are five radio stations. Players can broadcast on the in-game radio, and radio hosts are rated by listeners.
