Dead Age is a survival RPG where you manage a group of survivors during a zombie outbreak, using turn-based combat to fight the undead. You'll scavenge for resources, craft equipment, and make choices that affect your group's fate. Combat plays out in turns—pick attacks, use items, exploit enemy weaknesses. Between fights, you assign survivors to tasks like fortifying your camp, gathering supplies, or treating injuries. Permadeath means losing characters for good, so each decision carries weight. The structure is non-linear: events and encounters change between playthroughs, meaning no two runs follow the same path. You're balancing immediate survival needs against long-term planning, knowing one bad call can cost you a crucial team member. If you want tactical combat with meaningful consequences and don't mind starting over when things go south, this delivers.
