...Because I'm too lazy to re-write an OP, here's mine from the old 2010 topic, with stuff added:
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. They also start to push objects around if they get too hungry, which is usually useless unless they happen to hit a huge stash of yours somewhere. 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.
-----------------------------------------
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. Most of the buildings will be empty and the only things walking around on the street are zombies you haven't killed yet.
Zombies aren't as dull as they are in the movies and other games. The early zombies can't do much other than shamble and eat people, but as time goes on things get worse. Some zombies move at walking speed and maybe even faster. Some zombies attract others. Some zombies can climb. Some can push things. There's also rats, which can move past any obstacle except closed doors.
This game is one of my personal favorite roguelikes, up there with Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm. If you like roguelikes and zombies, I highly recommend this. Alpha 7 is a pretty damn big update, featuring corpses and gamemodes, among other things.
