Gameplay

Reception

SSI sold 18,765 copies of Roadwar Europa in North America. [3]

Antic in 1988 stated "I loved the original version of this game and I love this sequel," citing its "simple and hypnotic" game play, user interface with both simple and complex options, and lack of copy protection. [4] In the 1992 and 1994 surveys Computer Gaming World gave the title two-plus stars of five, calling it "Quite entertaining when originally released, but its graphics have rendered it obsolescent". [5] [2]

Robbie Robberson reviewed Roadwar Europa in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 81. [1] Robberson commented that "In short, the Roadwar series is an example of a good idea that is short circuited by its components. If Strategic Simulations, Inc. can release these games with a better and quicker combat routine, or better yet, reduce the incidence of combat, these games would be a required addition to every serious computer gamer's library. As of now, they are simply entertaining in the short run, and tedious in the long." [1]
