Stories from the Outbreak

Stories from the Outbreak is a roguelike role playing game with some brilliant turn-based zombie bashing battle mechanics. Your story begins with you attempting to escape from the doomed city of Riga and boarding a ferry to cross the North Sea. You will need to battle the undead, scavenge supplies, and make some hard choices regarding your path and the fate of fellow survivors. If you are looking for an exciting zombie game that tries something different with the genre, you are looking in the right place here. Gear up and let’s get into it.

Gameplay

The gameplay in this title is relatively straightforward: you will have to battle your way through this fictional city filled with the undead using turn based combat and path selection regarding gameplay.

Combat is not dissimilar to the original Final Fantasy VII, where you have a party that engage in battle, and you select what attacks or abilities you wish to use to defeat your enemies. Don’t get too comfortable though, this is a strategy game and given that there are over 15 enemy types, you will have to change that strategy eventually to keep yourself and your team alive.

In regards to exploration, you will be provided with a map and you must pick where you are going to go next, then make your way there. You will need to find food and weapons if you are to survive the onslaught of undead. This game is designed to provide you with a unique story first and foremost, and this isn’t a strong narrative that’s fed to you as things progress, it’s a story that you make as you continue. The choices you make define what happens, and leaving that kind of narrative freedom to the player and the gameplay is a brave choice that absolutely pays off.

Visuals

The visuals of the game are pretty simple, as it is a pixel art style. There is significant elements of cartoon gore and violence, mutilation and whatnot, but if you’ve ever played a zombie game before, you will know that this one is not that bad in comparison. The style is unique and true to the situation, but manages to stay pretty tasteful all things considered.

The Story

Set in the year 2020, a new disease has swept through the world and raised the undead. In the span of a few short months, you find yourself alone in your city apartment as zombies fill the streets, when you hear a message on your radio that the last ferry away from here is leaving in 10 days.

You will have to gear up, plot your route, and battle your way through this hell in order to make sure you can escape in time. While you do this, you need to manage your team of survivors, and hunt for food and weapons along the journey, as zombies are not the only dangers one can face in the post apocalypse. Can you make it in time?
