6 itemsAbout the Game
100 years ago, a devastating biochemical crisis struck Earth, turning most of humanity into zombies. To survive, the remaining humans fled Earth and began living on a massive space station.
However, over time, living space on the station gradually diminished, and resources became increasingly scarce.
In search of new habitats, some survivors on the space station decided to form multiple advance teams to return to Earth for reconnaissance.
These teams consist of members from different races, each possessing one or more survival skills. After being deployed to Earth, they embarked on an unpredictable journey.
The survivors must face various unknown dangers on Earth, including zombie attacks, wild beast invasions, harsh natural environments, and even hostile native inhabitants.
Not only do they need to survive and establish shelters, but they must also maintain contact with the space station, providing information on whether Earth is suitable for habitation again.
The space station will also offer limited support from time to time.
Where will humanity go from here? This heavy responsibility now rests on the shoulders of the pioneer survivors.
Can they lead humanity out of this predicament and rebuild the future? This challenge is undoubtedly a test of both human wisdom and willpower.
This is a top-down RTS survivor game developed with Unreal Engine 5.
Players will assume the role of a commander, leveling up by eliminating enemies and learning various skills to defeat more foes.
In the game, you can choose different commanders to acquire unique base abilities and begin your journey.
With dozens of diverse units and skills at your disposal, you can experiment with synergies, build bonds, and discover powerful combinations. You can also call in airstrikes, summon bombers, and airdrop reinforcements to fight for you.
Evade zombie assaults, eradicate the undead, and encounter terrifying bosses—are you ready?
Powered by Unreal Engine, the game boasts stunning visual effects and supports over 100,000 zombies on screen simultaneously. For humanity’s sake, unleash carnage!
