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!

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 !
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. 🧟♂️🔥
This is actually one of those games that I do recommend because it's a tactical turn based game and a horror game. For starters it's super easy to learn the mechanics even those which are new and bring aspiring mechanics never seen "to me" from the genre before. The game looks visually stunning, some may disagree, but there's a lot of detail where it's needed. The environments look great, the zombies look better and the tension never seizes to exist here which is a great thing as well. Sound design is also on point from the groans and tippy taps from the zombies as they shamble closer or scale ladders etc. There's challenge and depth around every decision you make within the game I only have a handful of complaints from the time I have spent with this. 1. I don't like how a single loss of one of your allies results in instant mission failure aka you're un-allowed to succumb to casualties without being forced to restart the mission. 2. Despite the "Sound/Stealth" mechanic zombies continue to flood the map gradually, making the sound design seem almost irrelevant because while yes more will appear as a consequence of your actions. I feel like none should appear until I make noise or much less should appear. 3. Fog of War is irrelevant, you can see everywhere, while this may be okay to some, this bothers me in a game that is described as a turn based horror game by many. Because I can just see where the zombies are at all times. I wish it was a setting or a skill at the very least.
Juego muy entretenido y simple de jugar lo recomiendo
I dont know why so many bad reviews. This is one of those games where you grab some snacks a nice cold Dr.Pepper and relax. I haven't played very much but I've played enough to know that I enjoy this game. It's fun and challenging at times. Good Game for sure.
Entretenido, pero muy corto
Цікава гра для любителів покрокової тактики! Але хотілося б більше свободи дій та більш розгорнутого сюжету.
Good game for price. would like to see a sequel.
This game has a lots of potential, we need more update. For now it's only 5-7 hours of gameplay.
