Enjoy Playing Road of Fury
You jump into Road of Fury and immediately find yourself tearing across a grim, post-apocalyptic highway, blasting anything that moves. The story isn’t going to win a Pulitzer, but it sets the scene: a ruthless dictator controls the wastelands, and you’re the one-man wrecking crew out to bring him down. As soon as you hit that accelerator, there’s no turning back—armored cars, mutant bikers and missile-toting drones all want to turn you into scrap metal.
The core of the fun lies in its straightforward, no-frills gameplay. You steer with the arrow keys, blast away with your primary gun, and drop bombs or launch rockets with other buttons. Each mission throws a fresh horde of enemies your way, sometimes even tossing in a hulking boss fight at the end. It’s side-scrolling chaos, and if you’re not on your toes you’ll find yourself spinning out in a cloud of explosive debris.
What really keeps you hooked is the upgrade system. Every wrecked enemy yields cash, and before you know it you’re in the garage swapping out your buggy’s frame, bolting on extra armor plates, or swapping a machine gun for a railgun. There’s even nitrous boosts to pick up, letting you roar past obstacles or launch surprise attacks at full tilt. Tuning your ride feels almost as good as blowing everything up with it.
All in all, Road of Fury has that addictive blend of retro pixel art and relentless action that makes you say “just one more run” way too many times. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but it revs so hard you won’t notice. Perfect for when you need a quick, destructive break to clear your head—and rack up a ridiculous high score while you’re at it.
