Hostile Paths is a top-down survival roguelike set in a bleak post-apocalyptic world scarred by war and scarcity.
You are a lone operator navigating hostile territories in a heavily worn tank, sent on dangerous contracts through fractured zones where resources are limited and death is permanent. Every run is a calculated risk: fuel, food, and ammunition are scarce, and the paths you choose will determine how long you survive.
Maps are procedurally generated, inspired by classic strategy layouts, offering multiple routes, ambushes, and points of interest. Exploration is as important as combat—choosing when to fight, when to avoid danger, and when to retreat can mean the difference between progress and total loss.
As you push deeper, you’ll collect weapons, equipment, and upgrades that enhance your tank’s capabilities, allowing for different playstyles each run. Enemies grow stronger, environments become harsher, and survival demands constant adaptation.
There are no safe routes—only hostile paths.
