Running Time: 130 min |
This road is freedom. This road is escape. But only for one. For the rest it is ruin!
There are no rest stops. Hard charging waves of mayhem and destruction push you ever-forward, never sure what lies beyond the horizon. You must keep rolling.
This road calls to you - its voice, the sound of furious thunder.
Thunder Road: Vendetta is a reboot of a beloved roll and move car crashing game from the 1980s. Each player starts with 3 vehicles and a chopper. Who will survive this perilous race down Route Sixty Styx?
