Satisfying, pen-and-paper-style zombie storytelling that's somewhat blandly presented and burdened by bugs. A worthy RPG that would've benefited from more budget.
Dead State is a single-player horror turn-based strategy RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. As the leader of a survivor group, you must manage resources, negotiate with other factions, and defend against the undead, with an emphasis on survival. The game features base building, tactical combat, and reactive storylines, with a mix of humor and a wholesome story in a full-fledged RPG experience. However, it is known to have many bugs and can be very grinding.
