Get Polycalypse: Last Bit of Hope for PC

Polycalypse: Last Bit of Hope is a low-poly survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. You can play alone or in co-op with friends, gathering supplies, building a base and fighting zombies and hostile survivors. The available mode is Sandbox; Arcade and Story modes are not implemented.

Survive the apocalypse

Zombies can lose limbs when you shoot or strike them with melee weapons. They keep coming until their brains are destroyed, and zombies without legs crawl more slowly. If you remove a zombie’s arms as well, you can keep it as a pet, though it can still bite.

You can use melee and ranged weapons, mounted machine guns, and traps including landmines, spikes and bear traps. Craft items such as Molotov cocktails, arrows and flaming arrows at a workshop table, and fit weapons with attachments including scopes, grips, compensators, lasers, flashlights and silencers.

Build and craft

Build your base piece by piece with the required materials. Every structure is destructible, whether built by you or an AI survivor, and unsupported pieces can collapse, so you need to make your construction stable.

Axes and chainsaws can cut wood as well as zombies. To gather wood, fell a tree and cut it into logs or smaller pieces. Use wood for building, cooking or starting fires, including inside procedurally generated enemy bases if you can get in undetected.

Vehicles and a companion

Salvage parts from disabled vehicles to assemble one or two working vehicles. You can manually install, replace, repair or upgrade parts such as engines, wheels, car batteries and headlight bulbs; for example, you can put a racecar engine in a combine harvester.

Your dog eats zombie and human flesh. Feed it to build Trust, then give it commands such as attacking enemies or searching for loot. You can leave the dog at your base without losing anything except its Trust.

Hostile survivors

Other survivors occupy procedurally generated bases filled with loot and shoot you on sight. You can take their supplies if you defeat them, or use tactics such as leading a zombie horde to their base and letting the fight unfold. Survivors killed with their brains intact turn into zombies, so you need to make sure they are dead.

Co-op and game modes

Co-op lets you survive with friends. Sandbox places you in a world of zombies and loot, where you can survive alone or with friends amid random good and bad events, basic needs and hostile survivors.

Arcade mode and Story mode are not implemented. Arcade is described as survival against endless, increasingly difficult zombie waves, with rewards, a store and the option to buy airdrops and information about enemy camp locations. Story mode follows a protagonist and his dog after the virus devastates the world. When the protagonist hears a radio call asking whether he managed to get gas, he discovers the radio connects to a larger group and gains hope of finding other survivors.

Power systems

The game describes generators that burn fuel to supply electricity, but this feature is unfinished and unavailable. Generators are loud, which attracts zombies; electricity is intended to power base lights, decoys, traps and car-battery charging.
