Our take on Not Dead Yet
The focus on rapid combat and replayable build creation comes with an unfinished presentation: placeholder material, bugs, performance problems, and balance issues remain part of the current experience.
What is Not Dead Yet?
Not Dead Yet is a 1–4-player cooperative rogue-lite FPS set after unexplained global events leave Earth overrun by hostile people.
Players fight continuous zombie waves while managing resources and creating builds from weapons, roles, perks, and deck-building elements. RPG mechanics include crafting, scrapping, repairing, perks, and random elements. Enemy types require different approaches, while pistols, shotguns, rifles, and SMGs offer varied weapon choices. Each match uses a different combination of gameplay elements, producing distinct runs. The game supports online cooperation for up to four players and includes Steam Achievements. It is in early development, with placeholder content, bugs, performance issues, and balance still subject to change.
