What is Road Defense: Outsiders?

A single-player, top-down action roguelite set along a road threatened by gangs. You shoot enemies, collect experience orbs for temporary skill boosts, and spend drivers’ fees on tower weapons and upgrades. After death, your kills convert into money for permanent improvements before the next run.

Not for you if...
