Gameplay
Gameplay
RoadCraft is a vehicle simulation game. In the game, the player character is in charge of a construction company specializing in natural disaster recovery. The game features 40 different heavy equipment vehicles, which can be used for damage assessment, debris removal, transport of materials, infrastructure repair, and reconstruction of damaged bridges and roads. Debris can be recycled, turning them into materials for reconstruction. Players can manually operate each vehicle, though tasks can also be automated to enhance efficiency, with the player plotting the routes of each vehicle. The game featured eight maps at launch, and supports four-player cooperative multiplayer.
