About the Game

Rebuild civilization in this action-adventure survival game for 1-8 players. Fight hordes of the walking dead, build settlements, restore the Roman gods... or kick back and farm with friends.

In Romestead, the dead walk at night and the gods have gone silent. Explore, gather, build, and slowly turn a camp into a working settlement.

Romestead scales in difficulty depending on how many players are in the world. Play solo or multiplayer with up to eight players. Host your own server or connect peer to peer.

Heavy resources are physical objects in the world. Gather rocks, ores, and logs, and carry them one at a time back to your town. Or make a cart train to haul them all at once. An enemy closing in? Chuck a boulder in its face.

Search the world for survivors to recruit as artisans, keep your people happy, and turn your towns into hubs for crafting, farming, and automated production. As you discover more biomes you can build more specialized settlements and even set up trade routes between them.

Make offerings and sacrifices to awaken the gods. Restore their connection to the world, earn their favor, and unlock technologies, buffs, and upgrades that will help you rebuild Rome.

The world of Romestead is procedurally generated and filled with handcrafted places and secrets. Explore unique dungeons filled with enemies and puzzles that reward you with gear, trinkets, citizens and more.

Epic bosses stand between you and a glorious empire. Gather your strength, upgrade your gear, and prepare to face them. Defeat the enemies of Rome and the gods will reward you.
