Description from Steam STEAM

Can you push back against fate, live among ruthless gangs and fight back the zombie horde, with just a handful of ragtag militias to help you? Enjoy an unique blend of old school turn-based strategy, post-apoc survival mechanics and a thrilling RPG storyline. With all the benefits of the modern Unreal Engine, real bullet ballistics, day/night cycle, fire with dynamic material consumption and spread, advanced sound and smoke propagation mechanics, AI NPCs with independent lives, faction based morals, hunger, wounds and sickness, and towards the end of Early Access, advanced modding support . Starting as a mysterious patient evacuated by CDC from their Atlanta lab, your hero is rescued half dead by the kind people of Urban town shelter, somewhere in deep south of USA. You need to raise up and become a true leader, rebuild their pillaged camp and bring hope back in the hearts of the survivors. Then venture out to negotiate alliances with ruthless factions or go to war against them. And finally, do your best to survive against all odds against a huge horde, approaching the town after destroying Atlanta. REAL BALLISTICS Urban Strife brings you the common weapon classes that you can expect to find in the context of the story, somewhere in a southern US city: handguns, shotguns, hunting, assault and sniper rifles. All these have pros and cons that make them special in specific situations. Handguns and shotguns for example excel in CQB with excellent damage. While pistols do cumulative damage due to their low AP costs, shotguns have individual pellet impacts adding up! BODY PARTS TARGETING Assault rifles bring tremendous cumulative damage too, when used in burst mode, with frightening multi-body penetration. Provide you can come by such expensive ammo and afford to waste it. And finally the option to aim for specific body parts for either instant kills or crippling shots make hunting and sniper rifles true long-range exterminators. How much fun they are depends just on which side of the barrel you are. MELEE ATTACK MODES The ranged arsenal is complemented by a wide array of stuff that can be used to smash, slash and punch - basically almost anything that CAN be wielded as a melee weapon also IS a melee weapon, from a rolling pin or a frying pan to your own customized baseball bat. RPG Once you will start exploring, you'll find a world populated with NPCs just as eager to survive the apocalypse, going about their life. Among these you are to discover those willing to help you - provided you help them first. And as long as you serve their interests. Because in Urban everyone has an agenda. Three main factions are fighting for control through numerous proxy groups in the town. Army rebels, a zombie loving cult and a ruthless gang of bikers. You're free to choose one of them as ally. But be aware - no path will be easy or morally justified - an apocalypse comes with a dire lack of innocence. It is all about survival. And being able to live with your choices. SURVIVAL MECHANICS You will find the Urban Shelter dilapidated and in ruins, full of refugees on the brink of despair, locked down by vicious bandits and roaming zombies. You need to regain control of the neighborhood fast. Start rebuilding and expanding. You have to scavenge resources and show the locals you're the hero they waited for. Then start repairing and upgrading the shelter, hiring the residents as specialists and using the refugees as labor. Depending on the allies you make you will be able to unlock unique upgrades that will make shelter administration more and more rewarding. OLD-SCHOOL TBS (with a twist) Urban Strife uses a classic Action Points system (Jagged Alliance 2 style), with consecutive turns & interrupts based on skills. But we've also tried to avoid the pitfalls of turn-based combat, especially against large numbers of foes. And zombies come first in this list of enemies everyone hates to wait for in TBS, because they are both numerous and slow. Hence we introduced a special turn for the horde, with simultaneous movement for all undead, while still letting each AI take individual decisions. Planned Early Access Road Map During Early Access we plan to add more content and features. The current plans are listed below.

Description from IGDB IGDB

Urban Strife is an old-school TBS, where you lead a team of makeshift, slightly deranged militia in an effort to keep the small community of Urban Shelter alive, amidst a zombie pandemic. With what’s left of human civilization divided into factions fighting over the scraps, you will need to broker alliances and fight factions wars, fortify and rebuild your community and forge a future against the ever-present threat of the zombie horde.

Storyline IGDB

Your story begins in the fictional county of Urban, a small community somewhere in the southern US, two years after an extinction level pandemic almost wiped out the human race. The few surviving pockets of humanity are fighting a losing battle, barricaded behind makeshift walls, with dwindling supplies and hope. This is when you begin to play your part. You’re rescued half dead and nursed back to life by the kind people of Urban Shelter but it soon becomes clear you’ve not arrived at the best of times. The survivors are frightened, weak and either very old or very young. They need a bold hero desperately to break out of the cold embrace of death outside their walls. Are you their savior? Or their worst mistake? You need to rebuild and strengthen the Shelter, explore the stories of all sorts of disturbed characters that might become your best friends or worst enemies, play your cards right in the faction power struggles and when time comes, have enough resources and allies for the mother of all battles.
