About Emerge: Cities of the Apocalypse

✦ AI summary

Lead a ragtag group of survivors to rebuild civilization and crush zombie hordes in this turn-based strategy game set in apocalyptic ruins. Balance exploration, research, base-building, and tactical combat while managing resources and team upgrades across branching campaigns.

Emerge: Cities of the Apocalypse places players in a dystopian world filled with zombies and mutated creatures. Once glorious cities now stand in ruins, as the few remaining humans now live as scavengers, bereft of any organisation or hope.

But not any more! Choose a character and embark on an epic quest to restore civilization and eradicate the undead threat!

Key Features
  • EXPLORE AND EXPAND: Restore derelict metropolises, one turn at a time! How will you spend your Action Points this turn? Will you scout a nearby sector, then clean your weapons and check out a new recruit? Or will you patch the hole in your defenses and then blindly move into unexplored territory?
  • REDISCOVER LOST TECH: Plot your course over an expansive, multi-branched research tree! Bring forth scientific marvels, or start a second industrial revolution! Or perhaps, build a strong economy and make powerful alliances with merchants and mercenaries!
  • MANAGE YOUR TEAM: Choose your character class and find or recruit survivors. Gain experience and improve your team's skills and equipment. Find and buy tons of weapons, mods and usable items! But beware, for fighting the undead can be deadly...
  • BUILD AND FORTIFY: The Apocalypse has ravaged cities' infrastructure, and it's up to you to restore them. Construct improvements in captured sectors to empower your cause. Produce automated defenses to help you weaken or eliminate invading undead armies!
  • FIGHT THE UNDEAD ARMIES: As turns pass, more dangerous undead appear. From acid-spitting zombies to undead, armored soldiers, there are no limits to the horrors you will face. Set your snipers to aim for the head, have a bunch of grenades ready, and pray they don't reach your barricade in numbers!
  • UNLOCK THE FUTURE: Relieve the world from undeath in campaign or skirmish mode! Meet mysterious survivors and determine the outcome of random events! Unlock new areas, enemies, classes, bonuses and challenges and lots of extra content as you play!

Some nostalgia around this game - I played the demo in 2016 during my younger years. This was the first 4X I got really sucked into, more so than Civilization games (at that time). And I do like its isometric artstyle. However on revisit, I did not enjoy it as much. Very likely because I suck and I spread out my research points, but things got repetitive fast while also getting overwhelmed my enemies. Realtime sections were a chord (and AI wasn't much better either). With another sequel, maybe it could've turned out a better game.

Emerge: Cities of the Apocalypse is a post-apocalyptic strategy title developed and published by Emilios Manolidis that combines city-building, turn-based strategy, and real-time combat into a single experience. Instead of focusing solely on constructing settlements or eliminating waves of zombies, the game asks players to restore civilization by reclaiming districts one at a time while managing limited resources and defending humanity from an ever-present undead threat. Its ambitious blend of genres gives it a distinctive identity, offering players a gameplay loop that rewards thoughtful planning as much as quick reactions. The strategic layer forms the foundation of the experience. Players gradually expand across a devastated city by capturing new sectors, gathering supplies, and restoring infrastructure. Every turn presents meaningful choices, as expanding too aggressively can leave valuable territories vulnerable, while excessive caution may slow overall progress. Resources remain scarce throughout the campaign, making efficient management essential. Buildings must be upgraded, supplies carefully distributed, and defensive preparations prioritized to ensure that newly reclaime…
