State of Decay

Post-apocalyptic setting

A zombie survival game in an open world where you build up a home base, scavenge supplies and manage a roster of survivors with their own skills. Death is permanent for fallen characters, which gives every decision weight.

Dust to the End

Post-apocalyptic setting

A grim post-nuclear survival RPG where you trade, negotiate, raid and fight your way through a ruined wasteland. You need both cunning and ruthlessness to endure a world scarred by war, hunger and slavery.

NEO Scavenger

Post-apocalyptic setting

A brutal survival game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland around Detroit, where you manage hunger, thirst, cold and injuries while uncovering the mystery of who you are. Text-driven encounters, crafting and tough choices make every run unpredictable.

Dwarf Fortress

Sandbox with your own goals

An immensely deep simulation where you build and manage a dwarven fortress or roam a procedurally generated, persistent world as an adventurer. Its interlocking systems produce chaotic, memorable stories, though the learning curve is notoriously steep.

The Long Dark

Post-apocalyptic setting

A lonely, unforgiving survival experience in the frozen Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster, where cold, hunger and wolves are your real enemies. Its painterly visuals and quiet atmosphere turn every trek into a tense, often melancholic journey.

Wasteland

A party of several characters

A 1988 classic in which you lead a squad of Rangers through a nuclear-ravaged America, using tabletop-style skills, turn-based combat and a surprisingly reactive world. It is the forerunner of the Fallout series.

7 Days to Die

Sandbox with your own goals

A zombie survival sandbox built on crafting, looting, base building and skill progression, where every seventh night a massive horde tests your fortifications. Played solo or in co-op, it blends first-person shooting with tower-defense tension.
