Dead Age Zombie Horde Moves Onto PS4

Silent Dreams along with publisher Headup unleashed their apocalyptic zombie survival game Dead Age onto PS4 today after a very positive run on Steam.

Players unfamiliar with Dead Age will find themselves dropped right into the middle of a brutal zombie apocalypse where death is permanent. During gameplay, players are challenged with rebuilding society and tough decisions while fending off zombie hordes in turn-based combat.

Gameplay features a group of survivors controlled by the player who uses them to venture out on dangerous scavenging runs, craft equipment, build alliances, and fight every day for survival. Inspired by classic RPGs, Dead Age features round-based battles where players can act strategically using different skills and weapons along with bombs and traps. In the end it is up to the player to protect their group from the zombie horde.

The story of Dead Age follows a group of survivors just after the zombie outbreak who have a base camp. However, all is not well. Food supplies are low, there are injured who need care, and materials are needed to keep the camp secure. Not only are the zombies a constant threat, hostile gangs of survivors will always keep players on the defensive.

A key feature of Dead Age is the non-linear story which has in-game consequences. Decisions made by the player in various conflicts affect the story going forward. Sometimes it is beneficial to be the hero and save more survivors and other times letting them die to stock up on supplies may be a necessary evil. Even romance relationships are possible and creating deadly rivalries are a part of the possible story. But one thing is for sure, every day is a struggle to survive with new dangers, new events, and if one lives long enough they might see one of the game’s six possible endings.

Dead Age is now available on the PS4 at a price of $14.99 USD. The game is also available on PC through digital retailers such as Humble Bundle and Steam regularly priced at $14.99 USD.
