Convoy is a tactical roguelike game that immerses players in a post-apocalyptic wasteland inspired by Mad Max and FTL. Players control a convoy of combat vehicles on a quest to find parts for their broken spaceship. The game features pixel art graphics and a captivating narrative where players encounter various scenarios through randomized radio signals. Each decision made can lead to different outcomes, including tactical battles, text-based dialogues, or chance-based role-playing events.

As players navigate the dangers of the wasteland, they must protect their convoy and cargo from threats like raiders and privateers. The gameplay emphasizes strategic vehicle upgrades and resource management, as death is permanent. This adds a layer of challenge and encourages careful planning to ensure survival in the harsh environment of Convoy.
