Apocalypse Run!

Apocalypse Run! is a strategy RPG in which you lead a party of four tourists across an apocalypse-stricken United States. After spending two weeks trapped in airport layover hell, they emerge in an abandoned Atlanta airport, unaware that the apocalypse has overrun the country. Their journey takes them to Portland, Oregon, described as the last free city on Earth, while the highways are ruled by Motorlord Dysentery. Along the way, they must recruit three brilliant scientists using geography hints and pursue a plan to reverse the apocalypse, while the player's old high-school rival may interfere.

Travel and encounters

You explore randomly generated maps on a journey across the United States, though not Florida. Face-to-face encounters use branching dialogue, and skill checks are based on poker: the harder the task, the better the hand you need to beat. The game has three chapters, each with a different twist.

Build your party

You customize a party of four tourists with outrageous costumes and choose from 15 character classes, including Pizza Driver, ER Doctor and Telemarketer. More than 50 achievements unlock character classes, weapons and vehicles.

Combat and equipment

Vehicle combat is turn-based and compared to battle-Tetris, with epic boss battles. The game includes 37 vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, spacecraft and pirate ships, plus more than 60 weapons, such as Spud Guns, Flaming Guitars, Ray Guns and Homing Parrots. You can also craft items from more than 30 recipes, including Ray Guns, Veggie Launchers and Flying Guitars.
