Read full description

MELS is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. Lead a squad of three fighters, expand your base, send teams on expeditions and work with players across the server to develop a vaccine before the mutation spreads. Turn-based combat without autoplay Battles take place on a grid where position, distance and action order decide the outcome. Move each fighter yourself, choose the right target and adapt to enemies with different behavior. There is no auto button and no single pattern that wins every map. Track down wanted targets and claim their rewards. Build and upgrade your base Develop eight buildings, including headquarters, an armory, training camp, research center and biolab. Base upgrades unlock better shop stock, faster expeditions and new research. Operation Vaccine All players contribute to the same global goal: developing a vaccine against the infection. Send scientists to analyze zombie remains, support pathogen research and track your contribution on the leaderboard. The mutation keeps advancing — can the whole server stay ahead of it? Create your squad Alpha, Beta and Kappa each have their own health, armor, damage, critical chance, speed and range. Equip helmets, vests, backpacks, firearms and melee weapons. Choose between close-range attacks, heavy firepower and long-range precision. Skills, gear and customization Develop combat abilities such as field medkits, mines, rockets, fire and frost. Improve passive attributes including damage, armor and critical chance. Collect equipment across eight rarity grades, from common to gold, and unlock dozens of appearance sets.
