It is certainly one of the most intriguing titles for its blend of Roguelite dynamics, Resource Management, and Tactical combat. Terminus: Zombie Survivors, the survival RPG developed by Longplay Studios, is about to launch version 1.0 very soon after a three-year period of early access, during which the game garnered an impressive “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating in reviews on Steam to date.

The typical Zombie infestation occurs in an Apocalyptic world where the only salvation is the Terminus, a place whose actual existence is uncertain but represents the last safe haven on Earth.
However, reaching the terminus requires covering a lot of ground and overcoming numerous obstacles, which the player can only achieve by leveraging the abilities of the character chosen at the beginning of the adventure. Terminus: Zombie Survivors 1.0 will arrive on PC via Steam on August 20, 2024. Below is an overview with screenshots and a trailer.
ABOUT THIS GAME
Terminus: Zombie Survivors is a turn-based survival roguelike set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. Weeks have passed since the zombie virus took hold of humanity, and most of the population has already been infected. As one of the few remaining survivors, you must finally venture out to join up with the other survivors at the Terminus. Battle your way through hunger, frigid temperatures, and ravenous zombies to make it to the Terminus, escape the city through various means or even develop a vaccine!
EXPLORE A RANDOMLY GENERATED MAP
Each journey for survival is different, as the very city you battle to survive through is procedurally generated. Over 150 different places are generated, with numerous locations to discover, hundreds of items to scavenge, and endless zombies to evade or fight. No two games are ever the same, but the journey to the Terminus is just as challenging each time.
BE STRATEGIC IN TURN-BASED PLAY
Choose your next move carefully! Every movement, action, and decision you make deducts from your Action Points (AP). Strategic management of your AP is key to survival. Use too little, and you might not find the resources needed to survive. Use too many, and you may leave yourself open to attack.
CRAFT, COOK, AND SURVIVE
Maintain your condition to stay in fighting shape in this apocalypse. Surviving isn’t easy – you’ll need to eat, sleep, and stay warm. Scavenge for materials to craft tools and weapons, and cook meals to keep your energy up. Every action, from crafting to cooking, directly impacts your chances of survival.
FIGHT VARIOUS ZOMBIES
Choose from a wide arsenal of tools and weapons with which to attack the oncoming zombie horde. Pick which parts of the body you want to hit, and experiment with the countless options on offer – if in doubt, remove the head, or destroy the brain!
EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE ENDINGS
Survive the unending hordes of undead through one of multiple escape scenarios: reach the Terminus safe zone, escape by boat or helicopter, join a group of survivors, or even develop the vaccine!
RECRUIT AND TRADE WITH NPCs
Clawing your way across the city, you’ll occasionally encounter other uninfected survivors. Band together with them on your journey, trade goods, or steal their supplies and find your own way to survive the end of the world.
DISCOVER YOUR FAVORITE SURVIVOR CLASS
Soldier, police officer, firefighter, farmer – each one fair differently in an apocalypse, but it’s up to you to discover which one stands the best chance of surviving. Pick from 15 different classes, traits to unlock and stats to upgrade and build the ultimate survivor.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR SURVIVAL
Use sandbox mode to tailor your survival experience by adjusting settings like spawn rates and resource availability. Try surviving additional game scenarios such as Out of Stock, Crowd, and Frozen Zombies to discover new ways to play Terminus: Zombie Survivors.
