Zelter (2020)
An expanding zombie plague has caused entire communities to be cut off, locked in with a horde of monsters who were once fellow humans. You are one of the brave souls who enlisted to be dropped into one such isolated city, fight off the zombies, and rescue as many survivors as you can find. Scavenge, craft, fight, and survive! Scavenge and build to survive Going in guns blazing will just get you killed. Instead you must scavenge in the city and find resources to craft your own shelter. Work your way from stone spears to firearms. Hunt and forage to stave off thirst and hunger. Go from sitting huddled against the one campfire you built to standing behind barricades and automated turrets. Survive against the odds in Challenge Mode Prove yourself the ultimate zombie apocalypse hero in Challenge Mode and survive six days of escalating threats! It will be no easy task - you'll need to think on your feet, be smart about your resources and keeping your shelter secure. This is an intense mode of play in which you rescue civilians and risk your life covering their escape. Survive until the evacuation chopper arrives and remember your success is measured in the lives you save. But what’s that deafening roar? Looks like your last day will feature a threat like no other! Band together with NPC survivors in Pioneer Mode Pioneer Mode is an endless mode with heavy emphasis on recruiting the survivors you find to stand against the zombie horde. Study their backgrounds and see if they are someone you’d trust to have your back and you just might find you’re no longer fighting alone. It’s up to you to make sure they don’t die of hunger, thirst, or zombie bites. Else you just might find them in the next wave of zombies who come for your flesh. Even the most helpful civilian risks eventually caving under pressure, so be ready to call in the chopper to take them to safety. You alone are fit to continue your stand! So cute it’s scary Prepare to “awww” at Zelter’s adorable pixel graphics even as you put up defensive structures or follow a desperate survivor’s call for help. Zelter pairs its survival and crafting based gameplay with the cutest visuals.
