  • Choices with consequences
  • Turn-based combat
  • A party of several characters

A zombie survival game that blends JRPG-style turn-based combat with camp management, crafting and permadeath. You lead a group of survivors and make tough choices that shape each run.

Wasteland

Turn-based combat

A 1988 classic in which you lead a squad of Rangers through a nuclear-ravaged America, using tabletop-style skills, turn-based combat and a surprisingly reactive world. It is the forerunner of the Fallout series.

Zafehouse: Diaries

Choices with consequences

A lean zombie survival game where you manage a group of survivors in a safehouse, scavenge supplies and make tough calls under pressure. It focuses on strategy and resource management rather than shooting, and each run produces its own story.

Tactical depth

You lead a small band of survivors through a zombie apocalypse, assigning tasks hour by hour. Distinct personalities, relationships and scarce resources drive tense, often brutal decisions.

Dead Age 2

Choices with consequences

A turn-based zombie survival RPG where you lead a group of survivors through a ruined world. Resource management, tough decisions and roguelike elements make every choice feel costly.

Heads Will Roll: Reforged

Tactical depth

A tough turn-based RPG set in the Hundred Years' War, where branching decisions shape a young soldier into a celebrated knight, or see him perish amid the chaos of war.

Wasteland 2

Choices with consequences

A classic turn-based party RPG set in a nuclear-ravaged desert, where you lead a squad of Desert Rangers and your decisions noticeably reshape the regions you visit. Tactical combat and a wide skill system give it depth.

March of the Living

Dark, serious atmosphere
