Similar Games?

I enjoyed playing through this (kind of; it's very janky) and wish there was something else like it. Turn-based RPG set in modern times against zombos? I'd really enjoy that...or this game with Workshop support. Any recs?

I don´t understand this response, those games have nearly NOTHING in common with Dead State.

Wait till Urban Strife release. That game is the closest you can find both in theme and mechanics.

"Turn Based Tactical Strategy" has been my favorite genre since the original X-Com. There's some pretty good games in the genre but not many specifically set in a Zombie Apocalypse. You could check out "Xenonauts". It's a pretty good update of the original X-com so you're fighting aliens instead of zombies but there definitely a lot of overlap between the games like base building and such.

Another game with a similar vibe to Dead State but with a more open-world GTA style game play is "State of Decay" and "State of Decay 2".

I can't recommend SoD enough. Both games are fantastic. On console, I have over 300 hours in State of Decay 1 and another 150 hours in State of Decay 2. I bought each game for maybe $20, and they were absolutely worth it.

That being said, they don't have the same depth in storytelling as Dead State does. In the first game, the characters are rather two-dimensional. In the second game, there are no preset character; only characters randomized with a variety of unique traits.

Jagged alliance, even the newer games are good in my opinion

[darcek]

For me this game mostly reminded me of Fallout and Fallout 2,which are the best games I ever played.

Project Zomboid is a really great Zed game. It's not turn-based but it's very much an anti-survival game (like a survival game except you pretty much have to accept that you will die at some point).

Dead Age 1 and 2, are the closest i can recall right now, if you like that type of turn-based combat.

XCom 2 has something with the Lost (zombies) but there arn't that many missions with them.

Stoneshard has some undead but isn't in the present day.

Kenshi has a zombie mod that looks good. It isn't a turn-based game and it isn't set on the present but you can pause during combat.

Also, keep an eye on Urban Strife, it looks good and will release next year.

Is closer to Fallout 1 & 2 than it is to dead state.
