Skip it if you…

Our take on Dying Breed
Its defining structure is the repeated cycle of digging, gathering resources, building bases, and directing attacks across land, sea, air, and underground routes.
What is Dying Breed?
Dying Breed is a fast-paced real-time strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Players construct bases, collect resources, choose units, and direct attacks against enemies including zombies and other hostile forces. Combat can use land, sea, and air assaults, while buildings and caves provide routes for more concealed movement. The game includes changing environments, new maps, enemies, weapons, and abilities. Its presentation combines retro-futuristic technology with an electro-metal soundtrack and live-action FMV scenes. The structure centers on repeated cycles of digging, building, resource gathering, planning, and battlefield execution, with strategic decisions made during intense combat.
