Fifty years ago the machines took over and went silent. That was the Mutiny. Then the dead started walking. The Mutiny is a third-person zombie survival RPG made by one developer. Explore a big open world above and below the ground, follow a real story, and live a whole life in the ruins: eat, sleep, train, craft, farm, build, trade and fight. Play solo, or online with friends. A REAL STORY A relic hunter named Mach3 wants to know what really happened. Hunt relics from the old world, follow his trail across the map and deep underground, and find a little tin-can robot that becomes your companion. It starts with a prologue movie. A WORLD THAT LIVES WITHOUT YOU - The Meadows, the city of the Heights, the mountain town of Skarheim, the seaside town of Tidehaven, the prison and the tunnels of the Spine. - An Underground City where you can buy almost anything. - Crews live in their own camps and remember how you treat them. Make friends, take jobs, recruit followers, or make enemies. - Camps get attacked at night, and horde nights hit hard. SURVIVAL THAT MATTERS - Hunger, thirst and nutrition, sleep and energy, sickness, infection and toxic gas. - Food spoils and water needs boiling. - Everything you carry and wear has weight, armor included. Stay light and you move freely; load up and your sprint shrinks, until all you can do is walk. Build muscle and you can carry more. - Your body changes with how you live. Train at the Workout Bench to get stronger. CRAFT, BUILD AND FARM - Nine kinds of crafting bench, each with tiers to upgrade, and blueprints traded for relics. - 781 pieces of clothing and armor in 42 sets, worn piece by piece across 25 slots: helmets, torsos, arms, legs, gloves, boots, pads, backpacks, gas masks, hip lights and more. Mix and match any of them. - From everyday clothes to 18 crafted armor sets, light to heavy, plus 12 town sets you can only make with blueprints found in Skarheim and Tidehaven. - Build your own base with power, water, storage and light. - Grow crops through the seasons. Tame, raise, breed and ride animals. Your dog has your back. FIGHT TO SURVIVE - Guns, bows, melee weapons and kicks, each with its own skill to level up. - Grenades, C4, traps, turrets and lures. - Shoot zombies apart limb by limb. Walkers, runners that leap at you, crawlers, exploders, gas carriers, flyers and the Brooder. - New monsters in the dark: Watchers, Skitters, zombie dogs and hellhounds. - Noise matters. Every shot is heard, so sneak, use a bow, or fight up close. EXTRACTION MODE Lead a camp underground. Go up top, loot what you can and get out alive. Take up to 4 of your own people with you. If they die up there, they're gone for good, and if you die, you lose what you carried. Spend your credits building your home and growing your camp. HORDE MODE Hold the gates of Eastgate Pumping Station against endless waves. Earn guts, buy guns, and send the robots to build fences, traps, turrets and lights. Move your workers from gate to gate, hold out as the waves get harder, and level up your survivor between runs. Solo or with up to 4 players online. PLAY YOUR WAY - Online co-op in the open world and Horde mode. - Controller, mouse and keyboard, or touch. - Talk and point wheels to call out to friends and to your crew. The world keeps growing with every update.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: The Mutiny at Free against Meridian 157's $1.99. The Mutiny also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Meridian 157's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 21). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
The Mutiny is free to download; Meridian 157 costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Meridian 157 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meridian 157 has 5.2K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Meridian 157's written reviews are positive against 90% of The Mutiny's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Meridian 157 ships an update every 2 months, The Mutiny every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
