Nuclear Epoch

Nuclear Epoch is an open-world survival game set in a world devastated by nuclear disaster. You explore radioactive wastelands for resources, fight enemies, build a shelter and trade with other players. You can survive alone, create a commercial empire or build a community home.

Explore hazardous areas

The game has five themed instances, each generated so that enemy placements, treasure chest locations and map layouts change with every visit. In each instance’s deepest areas, you face mutant giant-beast bosses with distinct skills and combat mechanics. Defeating them calls for tactics and cooperation, and earns rewards that can change how you fight.

Build a living shelter

Construct your shelter from a basic refuge into a fortress or a thriving town. Other players can visit, browse goods and trade in the guild you establish, turning your base into a social space and a hub for survivors.

You can recruit NPC residents and build and upgrade their homes. Each has specific needs and functions: blacksmiths need forging workshops, while merchants need trade halls. As your population and buildings grow, the shelter becomes a more active community.

Craft weapons and gear

You forge equipment yourself, starting with scrap and shaping each weapon in your workshop. The manufacturing process is customizable, and each strike affects the weapon’s final form. Weapons also gain combat experience with use, bringing gradual improvements to some of their characteristics.

Raise mutant pets

Some creatures changed by radiation can be domesticated and raised as companions. Once you have two or more pets, you can breed them: offspring can inherit strong genes, while crossing different attributes may produce unexpected abilities.

Trade through Steam

Rare items you obtain become items in your Steam inventory. You can sell them to other players through the game’s built-in store, with their prices determined by market supply and demand.
