Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a tactical game that combines turn-based combat with real-time stealth and exploration. You lead a team of mutants through a post-human Earth reclaimed by nature, scavenging for supplies and searching for the legendary Eden, where the truth may lie.

The post-human world

After extreme climate change, economic crisis, a lethal pandemic and rising tensions between superpowers, nuclear weapons were used in armed conflict. Humanity disappeared, and nature spread through ruined cities, empty streets, crumbling highways and overgrown countryside. Mutants—deformed humans and animals—scavenge among the remains, seeking salvation or simply something to eat.

Your travels take you through the Zone. You can return to the Ark, a neon-lit oasis populated by questionable characters, to restock supplies and plan your next expedition.

Your mutant team

You control Dux, Bormin, Selma and other mutants, each with a distinct personality and perspective on the world. The team includes a talking duck with a crossbow and a boar prone to anger. You unlock mutations and abilities such as Selma’s grasping vines, Bormin’s Charge and Dux’s ability to sneak into enemy camps unnoticed.

Stealth and combat

Turn-based combat uses a tactical system inspired by XCOM. In real time, you can sneak through shadows to avoid enemies or catch them by surprise. You choose how to approach a camp and position your team before combat begins.

The environment can help or hinder you: stay out of floodlights, hide from enemy lines of sight, or destroy walls and buildings. The destructible surroundings let you use the terrain to your advantage.

Equipment and supplies

Scavenge equipment for the dangers ahead, from makeshift slingshots and high-powered rifles to top hats and police vests. You can outfit your mutants with gear such as spiked metal armor and blunderbusses.
