Skip it if you…

Our take on FALL
The roguelike structure gives each attempt different challenges and story elements, but it also means progress is experienced through repeated runs rather than one continuous journey. The focus on combat and exploration leaves less room for broader settlement management.
What is FALL?
Play as the commander of a survivor camp after a near-zombie invasion.
Form and assign a special police squad, explore city ruins, collect resources, strengthen the survivor, and fight different zombie types. The top-down action game uses a roguelike structure, with each run presenting different stories and challenges. Combat involves choosing weapons and equipment, using the environment, and adapting tactics as enemies vary from ordinary zombies to fast attackers, heavily damaging foes, and mutants with special abilities. The arsenal includes automatic rifles, grenade launchers, police drones, and artificial intelligence characters. Progress also reveals a story about the world’s collapse and a possible route to redemption. Each failure leads into another attempt with new encounters.
