Overview
Description

Convoy is a squad‑based tactical roguelike set in a bleak future where you traverse a wasteland in search of parts to repair your broken spaceship. Presented in retro pixel art, the game blends strategic vehicle combat with random encounters triggered by radio signals. Your choices drive the story: engage in turn‑based battles, negotiate via text dialogue, or take chance‑based role‑play routes, all while protecting your convoy from raiders and privateers. Upgrade your vehicles, manage cargo, and survive permanent death in this indie sci‑fi adventure.

FTL puts you in the captain's seat of a fledgling starship on a desperate mission to save the galaxy. Every encounter is a tactical puzzle, offering multiple solutions from combat to clever crew management. The game blends role‑playing, simulation and strategy in a single‑player roguelike experience, with permanent death and random events ensuring each run feels fresh and challenging.
