“One of the most promising games I have EVER played. I hope they keep up the great work and my fantasy is that it gets a multiplayer mode!”
“Very recomended. and the game is still being worked on as of right now. Completely worth the 30 bucks already put 50 plus hours in and still going. This game killed most survival games for me.”
“Game is very mid. I like the idea, i enjoy base building and think the local area maps are super cool. I wish they used actual images more akin to flight sim to get a realistic depiction of the area you're trying to…”

“It's small and still in development but what they have so far is worth every dollar, building a post-apocalyptic settlement on the real world map is an awesome idea that is executed excellently in this game. I look…”
“dude when it asked me if i wanted it to set my location, i wasn't expecting it to be my actual town!!! this game is amazing just for that!! 100% worth buying”

“Amazing game and cant wait to see much more updates. Its fun picking my home town and seeing how accurate it is. its a small town so it was hard mode lol but i would recommend .”
“Challenging yet not impossible game even on harder difficulties. Can sometimes feel slow but still worth it.”
“Great strategy zombie apocalypse game. I'm enjoying the game and the difficulty. My only issue is not a lot of defensive structures to beat the military, but it's early access.”

“good game works well nice story line fun little time killing city survival game”
“accusing paying customers of piracy is not what should be done, I cannot recommend it for now even though otherwise it's good, I would refund if possible Edit: apparently it was a bug. I finished the story and will…”
“It's a great game. The idea is fantastic and very fun to play, but the controls are horrendous for late game when you're trying to figure out which squad needs a car and which doesn't. It's also almost impossible to…”

“in game events ruined the game for me, and can't refund. Having all your squads held captive 2 hours into the game is not the best writing.”
“The map gen is freaking amazing. Sadly the gameplay is not. Its early access so maybe this will improve over time... but for now this feels closer to a proof of concept rather than a fully fleshed-out game. 5/10. Not…”

“As of april 2026 the game still feels like beta. It is good, it feels good, but it also feels like a product that still needs A LOT of polishing. I got it as soon as I was able to because I was really looking forward to…”
“Game requires you to have 5000 MB free on your C:\ drive, no matter where the game itself is installed, which makes it unplayable for people with limited space due to system files on a small local disk drive. It simply…”
“Oyunu sevdim aslında, orjinal bir tarafı var, gerçek bir harita da, istediğiniz yerde üssünüzü kurabiliyorsunuz. Mesela gerçek evinizde. Birebir aynı değil ama epey yakın. Muhtemelen kopyalanacak bir özellik. Olumsuz oy…”

“It's a good game but man some of the AI generated images are hard to look at. It makes an otherwise fine looking game have an amateur or even rushed feel to it. The portraits are generally okay but the loading screens…”
“Fun and engaging with very few issues so far. The worst issue is screen shift when scrolling through units using arrow on units. still in beta but a very fun game.”
“Having a zombie apocalypse base built around your work building area, your school district or your home is a real kicker. Really brings in a lot of immersion this way: "Yeah, let me go and raid IKEA for loot", or plant…”

“This game is insaely empty and lacking content. Purchase only when its 80% off. Not worth the price at all. Can also get stuttery above 600 population.”

“Overrall its an amazing game. I really like it and already spent a lot of time on it. Its still "development in progress", and its felt obviously. I hope games drawbacks will be fixed soon.”

“Would be better thought of as a company if they weren't messaging negative reviewers trying to get them to remove their review. Scummy practice.”
— a player, Steam review · 37 hrs played“Overall I love this game and think it’s a fantastic concept. Any game that pulls me in for several hours at a time, or makes me lose track of time because it’s so engaging, is going to get a thumbs up from me. This one is great because you get to choose your hometown or city and…”

Sadly I absolutely loathe micromanaging the stupid squads. . . The vast majority of the time nothing really happens with them so you just put them to loot an…”
