This game has a simple premise, get the convoy to the destination. You control a "commander", which can move wherever you want, unlike the convoy that can only go on roads. The commander can "call in abilities" which can help your convoy reach its destination; you can also pause at any time and choose a different route for the convoy and also its composition or upgrades.

This is a pretty fun and well-made game that actually has a story. Its casual nature makes it great if you just want to play a quick game.

Rating: More like "tower attack", amirite?

Recommendation: You can try this even if you're not into "tower defense" games.
