Dead State: Reanimated

Set in central Texas as civilization collapses, Dead State casts you as the leader of a group of survivors sheltering from the undead. You must keep the group going while threats come from both zombies and other people.

Send survivors on expeditions to explore locations and bring back food, fuel, medicine, and other supplies. Recruit allies, negotiate with or defend against rival factions, and decide how to allocate people and resources at the shelter.

Assign survivors to shelter duties and invest in upgrades while managing the community and its morale. When danger turns into combat, lead a party through turn-based tactical encounters; character skills and equipment shape how the team handles each fight.

Several reviewers enjoy Dead State’s blend of zombie survival, tactical combat, and shelter management, especially caring for a varied group of survivors and watching the community develop. Its atmosphere, characters, and decisions about keeping the shelter supplied and stable are recurring points of appreciation.
