Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking deep turn-based planning or large-scale unit command may find the real-time, small-group format limited

- Players who do not enjoy fighting recurring hordes of infected may not suit the central gameplay loop
Our take on Rabiez: Epidemic
The store copy foregrounds the zombie-apocalypse premise and tactical action, but gives little sense of campaign structure, survivor progression, or how the varied levels differ. The result is a clear genre pitch without much detail about the game's longer-term depth.
What is Rabiez: Epidemic?
Rabiez: Epidemic is a real-time tactical game set during a zombie outbreak.
Players guide a small group of survivors through infected hordes as they try to leave the centre of the epidemic. Each area presents danger and the choice between focusing on survival or trying to halt the spread within the territory. Combat combines tactical decisions with arcade-style action, while survivor AI governs the group’s behaviour. The game includes varied level types and settings, Steam Achievements, and Steam Cloud support. It is built with the same custom engine used for AI: Rampage.
