Author Topic: Rogue Survivor: A rogue-like zombie survival!  (Read 15065 times)

Rogue Survivor. A rogue-like free roam zombie apocalypse where you aren't an action hero. Obviously zombie = survive. Though this isn't Left 4 Dead or Resident Evil, you can't run around beating the stuff out of random zombies for stuffs and giggles. You will die that way. You need to eat and sleep on this game, neglect those basic needs and there will be penalties. If you don't sleep you will randomly pass out and end up getting killed on the streets. Don't eat and you will starve. You aren't alone though, there are civilians that you can recruit equal to your leadership skill. There are also hostile bikers armed with rudimentary melee weapons and hardened leather jackets, the National Guard, cops and C.H.A.R employees in their offices, also hostile. You obviously have the zombies to deal with too. Most can shamble at your speed or lower, and are fairly hard to kill without a decent weapon. As far as the friendly civilians go, the A.I is an enemy of the player. The civilian's A.I directs them to pick up interesting objects (Guns, ammo, wood, etc.) which also means stuff you leave behind. They will randomly roam picking up guns and other useful objects to them. Though this can be bad, recruiting a bunch of civilians and training them makes an effective army of gun-toting super zombie hunters. A guide is in-game and tells you all you need to know about the game (Which for some reason doesn't mention the "close" screen for shutting doors and windows to block zombies or to barricade them, Which is C"

-----------------------------------------
After awhile once the gangsters and the bikers start attacking and the military starts making supply drops you will find a ton of supplies on the streets and probably won't run out of food or medkits.

Sounds cool, but this thread needs pictures.

Cool, but it needs multiplayer.

If we can play together, would be nice.

Awesome, I need to try this out! Also, the pictures remind me of dwarf fortress for some reason.


Dead within first 10 moves every time. I get totally overcome by zombies/skeletons, it's rare I actually get hold of a weapon.
Okay finally. I barricaded myself in my starting room and found a baseball bat. This is pretty neat, it needs sound.

Go to the nearest shop district and go to the sports store, you can find baseball bats, golf clubs and if you are lucky, hunting rifles.

Spawned in a room of zombies, dead in 5 moves. Wow, astounding.

This game is pissing me off, it's more annoying than fun.

a game like this could be fun but the gay spawns and hard to follow combat is annoying.

FINAL RATING: 6/10

Combat isn't hard to follow (it's just turn-based) but the spawns are pretty terrible.

This is annoying now :C

I like the idea but I'm not sure if this is the right way to execute it.


This.
Actually it needs a redesign in its entirety. It's more annoying than fun, but the concept could be decent.
