What is Terminus: Zombie Survivors
Terminus: Zombie Survivors is a 2D turn-based survival roguelike set amidst the chaos of a zombie apocalypse. Players must navigate a procedurally generated city filled with peril, including ravenous zombies, harsh weather conditions, and scarce resources. Every playthrough offers a unique experience, with many distinct areas to explore and countless items to scavenge.
The game emphasizes vital strategic decision-making, where each action point (AP) must be carefully managed to ensure survival. From scavenging for supplies to crafting weapons and cooking food, every move you make can determine whether you live to see another day or fall victim to the undead horde.
Terminus offers a deep and immersive experience with a variety of survival elements, including multiple character classes like soldiers, firefighters, and farmers, each with unique strengths and abilities. The challenge doesn’t stop at just surviving; players can pursue different endings, such as reaching the Terminus safe zone, escaping via boat or helicopter, or even developing a vaccine to end the apocalypse.
The addition of a sandbox mode allows for further customization of the gameplay experience, offering different scenarios and adjustable settings to tailor the difficulty level.
