ROADPOCAPLYSE is a old-school "post-apocalyptic" survival role-playing game with rogue-like characteristics. If Oregon Trail and the movie Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) had a baby this is it!

The game is a robust simulation of a ruined earth environment. Combat is fast-paced and lethal. You will meet many unique companions throughout your adventure whom will help you brave the perils of the wasteland.

Your vehicle isn't just a means of transportation; it's your lifeline. Swift and lethal, it demands meticulous maintenance. A neglected ride can quickly become a deathtrap. While the option to continue on foot or hijack another vehicle exists, the odds are stacked against you. Keep your wheels spinning, or face the consequences.

Survival is a gritty affair. Scavenge for supplies in mutant-infested cities and embark on perilous hunting expeditions for food in the wild. Adapt, improvise, and do whatever it takes to outlast the harsh realities of this post-apocalyptic world. Every decision matters, and every encounter could mean life or death. Will you rise above the ruins, or succumb to the unforgiving wasteland? The choice is yours in ROADPOCAPLYSE.

Trucks provide more storage and better off-road performance. The trade off is lower top speed and decreased fuel mileage. They are however more durable than cars and can take more punishment.

► 1973 AMC : Javelein ◄

Coups provide a good trade off between performance, top speed,  fuel mileage and storage size. This makes examples in good condition highly sought after.

WARNING
! ! !  YOU ARE NOT ALONE  ! ! !

Infested within the ruins of earth cities are strange deadly mutants and treacherous human survivors looking to plunder what resources remain. Only the strongest venture into these toxic cesspools that were once home to civilization. However due to scarce resources this may be your only option when desperation sets in...

! ! !  DEADLY HYPER-EVOLVING MUTANT SPAWN  ! ! !

~ MUTANT ACTIVITY INCREASES AT NIGHT ~

 

While scavenging for resources it is wise to do so before the sun goes down. At night-time combat skills are affected negatively. The hordes of mutants that were either resting or hiding from the daylight come out in search of food, and you will do nicely as their meal. Running is usually your best option as their numbers can easily overwhelm even the most seasoned wasteland warriors.

The wasteland can be a lonely dangerous place.  However you do not always have to to be the Lone wanderer, because throughout the game world you will find various companions to recruit.

Possible companions can emerge from anywhere at anytime such as within settlements, city ruins, and through unique encounters or quests. These are people whom stand above their peers and can greatly enhance your experience.

Companions are considered temporary as their death in game is permanent. They can succumb to critical injuries and illness the same as the player character.

"Companions may have bad attitudes and other quirks."

Each companion has there own set of attribute and skills suited to their role. Many have additional perks which can augment certain variables both inside or outside of combat. However some have negative traits which may make you reconsider bringing them along. The wasteland can create some truly savage (but interesting)   people. Choose your friends wisely...

Companion characters are created from both real life
people and original artwork.
