Wasteland

A party of several characters

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 2

A party of several characters

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

Post-apocalyptic setting

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.

Dead Age 2

Post-apocalyptic setting

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.

NEO Scavenger

Post-apocalyptic setting

A brutal survival game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland around Detroit, where you manage hunger, thirst, cold and injuries while uncovering the mystery of who you are. Text-driven encounters, crafting and tough choices make every run unpredictable.

Zafehouse: Diaries

Economy and management

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.

UnderRail

Post-apocalyptic setting

A punishing old-school isometric RPG set in a post-apocalyptic underground subway world, built around turn-based tactical combat and highly flexible character builds. Exploration, crafting and meaningful choices shape your survival.

Atom RPG

Post-apocalyptic setting

A loving Fallout-style successor set in a Soviet wasteland, with turn-based combat, open-ended character builds and plenty of meaningful choices, all laced with dark humor and Eastern European flavor.

Phoenix Point

A party of several characters

A turn-based tactics game in the XCOM tradition where you lead a resistance organization against mutating alien horrors. It stands out for its free-aim shooting with targetable body parts, faction diplomacy on the world map, and enemies that evolve in response to your tactics.
