Convoy is a video game released on April 21, 2015 (2015-04-21) for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux, and as Convoy: A Tactical Roguelike on April 8, 2020 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One under a revised format. The game features pixel art graphics and roguelike squad based tactical combat. In Convoy, the player must scour the wastelands of a desert planet in a defensively outfitted semi-trailer truck for parts to a crashed spaceship.[4][5] The plot is experienced through interactive text based dialogue, where the player picks responses to written scenarios. The outcome of these scenarios sometimes turns in to tactical combat.

The game was part-funded through a Kickstarter campaign, raising €22,408 towards its development costs in November 2014.[6]
