Welcome to the quarantine zone, utterly consumed by zombies! Here, you have only one goal: scavenge resources, fight the hordes, and extract alive! Scavenge:​ Venture into perilous city ruins, abandoned hospitals, or underground fortresses to search for weapons, ammo, medkits, and valuable supplies. Every expedition is fraught with unknowns and risks. Fight:​ When ambushed by zombie swarms, use the weapons you’ve found to strike back with precision. Extract:​ Carry your loot to the designated extraction point. This is the ultimate test of your strategy and judgment—do you greedily scavenge a little longer, or know when to cut your losses? Are you ready to push your survival limits?

About

Outpost

Features
Read full description

You drop a colony onto a hex world that is already dying. The blight is not an enemy AI. It is a spreading rot that advances a few hexes every turn, deterministically, and eats the ground you are standing on. It cannot be stopped — suppressors only ever delay it — so every turn is the same question asked harder: reach for richer ore, or consolidate what you can still defend? Ship your quota and you are out. Lose the landing site and the run is over. There is no turn limit, because the blight is the clock. · Five worlds — the Shelf, Tidewrack, Overgrowth, Ironpan, the Basin — each a different shape of problem rather than the same sector with the numbers turned up. Only the Shelf is open until your first win; the rest unlock permanently after that. · Six buildings. Ore is the currency, power is the throughput cap — overbuild and you will watch something go dark and understand exactly why. · The game explains itself as you play. Power, permanence, the blight and the quota each arrive at the moment the board raises them, pointed at the ground or the number they are about. Nothing is explained twice. · Procedurally generated sectors. One seed reproduces a world exactly. · Three charters, each a different opening rather than a better one. · Upgrades that carry between runs, so a loss still moves you forward. You keep what you shipped. · A daily sector, chosen by the date — the same ground for everyone, no account and no server. · Runs take ten to fifteen minutes. Built for one hand, in portrait. Every balance number in the game was measured, not guessed: a headless harness plays a thousand seeded runs against a reference bot and the win rates are asserted in the test suite. The blight rate, the quota curve, and what each charter costs you were all set that way. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
