RoadOut

RoadOut is a post-apocalyptic action RPG that combines top-down, twin-stick combat with driving. You explore the desolate Dead Zone by car, then leave your vehicle to fight and solve puzzles in dungeons. The story follows Claire, who takes black-market contracts while investigating her past and the origins of the A.I. that dominates the world.

The Dead Zone

After a great cataclysm, rebel groups take refuge in the Dead Zone, a large artificial biome created to sustain a new era of humanity. Three rival factions occupy the region: The Wasteheads, The SaibaKuran and Order of the New Code. Claire takes jobs from local leaders involving delivery, sabotage and murder, and can join factions, fight rival gangs, barter items and take quests to earn clout and advance her story. As she investigates her past, she finds strange evidence linking her existence to the A.I.’s origins.

On foot and in dungeons

You can exit the car to explore locations on foot. Fight bandits with short- and long-range attacks, block with a shield and recover with drugs you have crafted. Dungeon puzzles use rotatable stack-sprite perspectives that look 2D but are actually 3D.

Claire and her car

Craft moves, weapons and drugs to help you survive. Customize Claire with body mods, cybernetics and an intricate skill tree, and upgrade her car to cross different terrain and withstand changing weather, night and day. The vehicle’s weapons and other technology help you face hungry animals and murderous bandits across the Dead Zone.

Races and other modes

Compete on 10 tracks across multiple biomes, with numerous races on the post-apocalyptic circuit. The game also includes destruction derby-style racing and a battle arena, accompanied by a synthwave soundtrack.
