Tactical Zombie RPG Dead Age leaves early access and launches November 4.



Headup Games and Silent Dreams’ tactical zombie horror game, Dead Age, will be leaving Early Access and receiving a full Steam release on November 4th. So far user reviews have been very positive with an 82% approval rating.

You play as a group of survivors during the zombie apocalypse. The only way your people are going to make it is by building and securing a camp. You’ll need to venture out into the world to scavenge for food and supplies. Too bad the undead horde and violent looters won’t make it easy for you.

Dead Age refers to its gameplay as ‘Final Fantasy’-style turn-based combat which means it’s inspired by the combat of classic JRPGs. Expect to use the typical zombie apocalypse arsenal of blunt weapons to firearms to traps. Permanent death adds an element of tension since once you get someone killed they are gone forever, and each new playthrough offers random missions and survivors to meet.

Had to download this video to rewind-examine the GUI texts frame by frame, including hidden image frames. Very nice execution! Strange, but combat animations and effects are nice. Fonts are okay. This already looks & feels a lot better than crappy Dead State. Combat effects are amazing!

I've been following this to see if there are improvements, since complaints in the community are severe, including pointless, repetitive combat. Definitely check the forums before buying, but if anyone plays it I'd love to hear what you think.

Repetition is the core of gameplay. Combat does not involve many parameters (devs aimed low)

As to pointless, these days, players cant bear tension so battles are tensionless. They are not pointless as they allow to browse the content.
