Death Skid Marks

Pretty cool roguelike. Your end objective is to get to the end of a 666 miles road trip, in which seemingly everyone is out to kill you in the road. In order to suceed, you must hire hitchhiker, and buy them weapons and drugs (for stat boosts) to make sure they last. There is a lot of randomization in the game though, so you have to juggle between your money and the probability of good items appearing. There are also a few wacky situations, like a weapon combiner and a jenie that randomizes your whole crew.

Actually the whole game is pretty wacky, and uses a sort of humour that i get will get offensive for some. I didnt have that problem though.

The combat part of the game is pretty simple. You play it in a top down perspective and you usually have to take down a vehicle or two to get to the next stop. These encounters tend to be very brief early on, but soon become harder as the enemies get tougher and are more protected. I found the bosses badly designed and almost impossible to beat, but they are optional and as such there is always another route to take.

Its a cool game, but at times i feel like it is a polished flash game. Still, good fun to be had with it.
