Weeks into a zombie outbreak, you play as a survivor trying to reach the Terminus or find another way out of the city. Each run takes place across a procedurally generated map of locations to explore and supplies to search for.
Movement, combat, scavenging, crafting, and other tasks use action points, so each turn calls for choices about what to do and what risks to take. Keep track of needs such as hunger, hydration, sleep, and warmth while avoiding or fighting zombies; combat lets you choose which parts of an enemy to target.
Choose from survivor professions with different abilities, and encounter other survivors you can recruit or trade with. Runs can pursue different escape and survival outcomes, while unlockable traits, adjustable sandbox settings, and additional scenarios offer other ways to play.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its turn-based approach, which gives them time to plan while keeping resource management and zombie encounters tense. Reviews also value the survival systems, different professions, changing maps, and alternative goals as reasons to try further runs. Other players find that runs become repetitive, that waiting and repeated tasks slow the pace, and that the game offers limited long-term variety or base building.
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 whatever means possible, or even develop a vaccine!
Each journey for survival is different, as the very city you battle through to survive is procedurally generated. Over 150 different areas 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 uniquely challenging each time.
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.
Maintain your condition to stay in fighting shape during 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.
Choose from a vast 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!
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!
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.
Soldier, police officer, firefighter, farmer—each one will fare 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 as you build the ultimate survivor.
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.
