Zombasite
Zombasite might be a little hard to wrap your head around but the blend of action RPG and Civilization-style strategy works really well. A little rough around the edges but the game underneath is a gem worth digging for.

Zombasite is a zombie apocalypse action RPG set in a dynamic, evolving, fantasy world.






- Highly replayable and innovative blend of hack and slash ARPG with deep clan management, diplomacy, and procedural world evolution.
- Complex and dynamic living world where factions, quests and outbreaks evolve independently, offering emergent gameplay and multiple victory conditions.
- Rich character customization with hundreds of class combinations and flexible skill systems, plus active developer support and frequent updates.
- Steep learning curve with minimal tutorials and a complex UI which can overwhelm new players.
- Balance and difficulty issues, including unpredictably hard enemy encounters, poor enemy scaling, and sometimes frustrating town defense mechanics.
- Outdated graphics and presentation, occasional bugs and crashes, and some clunky combat and AI behavior detract from overall experience.

The gameplay offers a complex and deep action RPG experience, blending hack-and-slash combat with base management, diplomacy, and procedural storytelling elements. While mechanically rich and unique with features like hybrid classes and clan management, it suffers from balance issues, a steep learning curve, unintuitive UI, and dated presentation that can be off-putting. Despite these flaws, players who invest time often find the core gameplay rewarding, with emergent systems providing substantial replay value.
“Developed and published by Soldak Entertainment, it builds its foundations on familiar hack-and-slash mechanics but layers them beneath a surprisingly intricate web of diplomacy, survival management, and procedural storytelling.”
“Zombasite offers more depth and gameplay features than pretty much any other ARPG in the industry, making Zombasite quite a lot more attractive to people who want a bit more than the usual Diablo-esque grind.”
“The developers really do put some great mechanical depth into their games, with all the politics and survival and exploration and factions, and AI interactions going on.”
“The in-game tutorial provides no answers, the manual provides no answers, and the gameplay is just mediocre in all honesty.”
“While this has lots of good ideas and fun mechanics, it's just too unpolished and clunky to enjoy.”
“Because Soldak got the balance wrong on this one and they didn't develop enough of the smaller bits of the UI and presentation and game-flow to match the breadth and depth of the mechanics that they'd created.”

Zombasite is loads of fun, regardless of what some of your clan members think. It has loads of quests that don’t run out causing you to exit and re-load the same areas over and over. Instead things feel more organic and as time goes by things become tougher as the world levels around you, the Zombie threat becomes more serious, and that moment of absolute dread is always potentially around the corner. As much as I’ve loved a lot of the other Hack and Slashes, none have been able to provide that on-going feeling of progress that Zombasite can provide. Never having to “quit and reload”, never “running out of things”, those are huge additions to this style. The time spent in Early Access was time well spent and Soldak Entertainment have aced this one.

Overall it's a fine game that lets us run around like a decapitated chicken, drinking deeply of the new emotional roller-coaster experience of actually having our existence feel needed in a video game, combined with a class system that takes everything we love about Diablo 2 and squares it. Alas that it’s harder than it needs to be due to a poorly designed tutorial system and a lack of proper documentation. For an indie game it’s a good overall buy.
