About

The air hangs heavy with the stench of decay - a grim reminder of the world's rapid descent into chaos. Streets once bustling with life now lay deserted, haunted by the shuffling footsteps of the undead. A random group of four survivors find themselves thrown together by their shared struggle for survival, in a world overrun by the zombie hordes. Their faces etched with weariness and determination mirror the dark and harsh realities they face.

In this single-player turn-based tactics game, take control of this band of survivors as they navigate through the midst of a zombie infestation, scavenging for resources and completing objectives, while confronting the endless threat of the undead, and surviving through narrow escapes and close calls.

UNFORGIVING TURN-BASED COMBAT: Survive at all costs as you complete objectives and escape dangerous situations with weapons you scavenge along the way. Level up and unlock new abilities to survive even in harsher environments.
HAND-CRAFTED SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN: Embark on your journey through 16 missions as you tackle new and unique challenges along the way. Immerse yourself in the narrative through captivating motion comics that propel the story forward.
NOISE ATTRACTS DANGER: Do whatever it takes to survive against the threat of zombies, but beware, the more noise you make, the more trouble it will bring.
THE RELENTLESS THREAT OF ENEMIES: Face a wide variety of zombies and other hostile survivors as you traverse deeper into the world, offering unique tactical challenges.
A DARKENED WORLD: Navigate through terrifying nights and grim streets, where destruction, violence, and panic cast deep shadows in the face of the zombie apocalypse.
MADE WITH PASSION: Dead Season was created and made as a passion project by a solo developer. If you have any feedback or thoughts, let me know!

хорошая зомби стратежка, мне очень понравилась, осталось только все достижения получить) (100% за 34 часа) - это победа Если вы как я, тогда можете в неё сыграть, она на самом деле очень проста и понятна, управление простое всего лишь использовать мышку, правда с предметами может очень и очень не повезти, но (на счёт сохранений нас просто пугают не переживайте:) ) в общем всем рекомендую кто любит зомби, и просто покликать мышкой!!!
Still playing but overall I really like the art of the game, it is done really well The game polish is fairly high I do enjoy the game and will play it to the end on the next few days A couple of things that I would want to improve are: First of all it is too slow, add a setting that all enemies will play at the same time or find another way to make it faster, I feel like the flow is too slow I think that the character perks should have more varaiety, I dont feel like I really need some of them (got ot rank 8 now) The ones that are different really make things more interesting for me The difficulty is not that hard, I am playing on the most difficult one, I think it lacks the challenge as my characters rarely get hit, Most other games in the genera make me cry on hard difficulty Items are fun, even losing them is ok, making me want to find new ones, but there aren't really many to find that are better, I think 1 or 2 more items with ammo are required and more than 1 jacket type, I should feel like I always have something more to find in the game maybe give me a backpack that I can carry more items on a character or a vest that let me quick reload once per battle or a scope for a sniper. I think that overall I understand why there isn't a lot of content regarding items and it is a matter of scope and you probably made the right call to keep it thin, but I want more :) Thank you for the game! you are awesome!
I'm a sucker for zombie games. I really like this. I cant recall another drop down zombie game like this so I think this is worth the price. I bought it for less then 7 dollars. Really enjoyable and you could replay this game over and over to get different loot and you could change the difficulty as well! I played on the easiest difficulty and it was a struggle because I had to shoot a bit so if you put this game on the highest difficulty I think most people would find this game as a challenge . Spoilers and what I would like to see ! The game can be completed in 1 day so keep this in mind but as mentioned before you can play this game multiple times to get different loot etc! I would have loved to see this game be a bit longer. This game can be completed in 5 to 8 hours . I would have loved to see this game have more missions and the time frame be at least 20 hours long.
I would not recommend this game. I generally don't do the whole 'negative' review thing unless something is seriously wrong. But this isn't a 'bad' game, and I want to say that. Personally I just felt bored playing through it.
Oprawa graficzna bardzo fajna, sama gra nudna i schematyczna. Potwierdzam opinie innych o częstym pudłowaniu... pudła na odległości PB są bardzo irytujące. Polecam Phoenix Point lub X-com'y
Dead Season è un "giochino" abbastanza carino, semplice nelle meccaniche e nella storia. Mi ricorda un gioco Flash che giocavo anni fa sul web e mi ha fatto venire voglia di provarlo. La difficoltà, più che essere data dall'IA dei nemici è data dalle meccaniche di gioco non proprio eccellenti: non è possibile ruotare la visuale, gli zombie continuano a spawnare e si dirigono verso i personaggi anche se non si fa rumore, le % di hit-rate sono abbastanza ridicole, lo smarrimento degli oggetti ha abbastanza poco senso. Inoltre manca una modalità cooperativa e la possibilità di creare mappe/missioni da parte della community... Tuttavia, nonostante questi elementi negativi io mi sento di consigliarlo se lo trovate ad un prezzo non superiore ai 5€
One of the best games I have ever played. A true hidden jem. Some of the bad reviews related to the early stages were guns jammed constantly and melee hit chances were 50%-60% at best. The dev has solved these issues, guns rarely jam and you get a perk to further reduce it. Hit chances are higher and this makes combat feels more satisfying. The story is good, the levels are properly curated, mechanics are different from other turn based games which is a nice thing. Ambient and sounds are amazing. The only negatives are: The game is very short and it's meant to be played twice, at most. After 2 playthroughs you have seen all there is. The skill trees and very similar with few abilitys tailored for the different characters. 100% must buy !
Finished this game off last night and found it to be good fun and a decent challenge. Firstly after reading some of the negative feedback i think people have been a tad over reactive to the games mechanics. For me the constant spawning zombies is fine, yes they had towards the nearest human player regardless of sight lines but they are following other zombies, they are pack hunters they don't need line of sight they just follow the horde. Items break between levels, that is fine it keeps the challenge up and at no time did it feel unfair or game breaking, I never struggled for melee weapons or guns. The game is short took me about 7 or 8 hours i think to finish the price that's fine. It has replayability if you want to as you can take alternative routes. The combat works well and the noise meter for using guns or chainsaw makes sense to me. Overall the game was fun and i am glad i played it. I played the game on my Asus Rod Ally x and it ran great.
Si te gusta X-Com, este juego te va a entrar directo por los ojos. 🎯 Es básicamente X-Com pero con zombis, con una ambientación genial, buenos gráficos y una jugabilidad muy bien pulida. Cada misión te pone en tensión constante, y los enfrentamientos están bastante logrados. Lo malo es que en menos de 15 horas ya lo terminas, y te quedas con la sensación de “¿ya está?”. 😅 Tiene la opción de rejugar los mismos mapas o probar otros que dejaste atrás, pero aun así se siente corto… como si le faltara una segunda parte. En resumen: muy disfrutable, pero sabe a poco. 🧟♂️🔥
Игра оставляет приятное впечатление . Я бы назвал ее гибридом олдскульных Resident Evil и X.COM а также совсем уж старенькой игры Лемминги . От X.COMа естественно пошаговость игры , ее тактическая составляющая . У каждого персонажа есть 4 очка действия , которые он может потратить на перемещения , стрельбу и использование холодного оружия в любой последовательности ( сместился - пострелял , отстрелялся - отбежал ) ю Следует иметь ввиду , что и манипуляции с инвентарем , передача предметов между персонажами тратит очки действия . Герои перемещаются довольно медленно , как и зомби . Но враги на уровне бесконечные и каждый ход на карте их появляется несколько штук, . Карты небольшие . Все оружие и экипировку получаешь непосредственно на уровне , лутая обозначенные нычки ( содержимое рандомное , кроме квестовых предметов . . между уровнями же персонажи умудряются потерять часть полученных предметов ( чтоб жизнь медом не казалась ) . Патроны бесконечные , но перезаряжать оружие ( не все ) надо ,и оно заклинивает . Исправить заклинивание - также очко действия на бочку . Строительства базы , исследований и экономик как таковой тут естественно нет , ибо задача - не победить , а выжить и выбраться . . От Resisent Evil здесь атмосфера города охваченного эпидемией зомби-вируса . Очень напоминает Раккун-Сити из старых резов . Атмосферу дополняет саундтрек - гнетущий амбиент или тревожно-агрессивная музыка в в каких-то знаковых моментах в игре . Между уровнями имеются сюжетные вставки , стилизованные под комикс и рисунки выполненные простым карандашом ( тоже придает своеобразие игре , хотя и указывает в какой-то степени на ее бюджетнлсть ). Из серии резов ее еще можно сопоставить с плестейшеновскими Residen evil outbreak ами , в которых также надо было вывести из города группу горожан . Ну и от лемингов собственно фабула происходящего действия - вывести группу людей живыми . Ни один из персонажей ни в коем случае не должен погибать . ( погиб - переигровка уровня заново ) . . С учетом того также , что это инди-проект , получилась очень достойная игра , достойная того , чтобы занять место в коллекции игр у любителей пошаговых тактических игр и sorvival хорроров старой школы
