About Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Survive a multi-apocalypse wasteland by scavenging, crafting, building bases, and battling mutated horrors in this deep turn-based RPG with unmatched vehicle customization and simulation-style complexity. A decade of community development creates unparalleled scope and detail, from exquisite crafting mechanics to procedurally evolved enemies and fully realized NPC allies with their own stories.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is the epitome of a modern roguelike: with turn-based play and a RPG-like skill progression system, it hearkens back to the classics of the genre while building on them in unexpected ways. The depth of this game will surprise you, with a cleverly-designed inventory system, the ability to drive vehicles on land or water, well-written NPCs with their individual stories, and more. The scope of Cataclysm is unparalleled in the genre, thanks to a dedicated community that works to create this game collaboratively, as we have for over ten years.
- Complex and diverse enemies from ever-mutating legions of the undead, to giant insects, to existential horrors from between worlds.
- Unparalleled vehicle building and customization system.
- Immersive, exquisitely detailed crafting system covering everything from smithing and soldering to keeping your sourdough starter fed.
- Build almost anything you can imagine, from a wattle-and-daub shelter in the woods to a tower of reinforced concrete and living alien resin.
- Populate your base with NPC allies that help you craft and keep you company.
- Explore one of the most detailed and immersive skill and proficiency systems in any RPG.
- Ever expanding content, with new major updates released regularly.
- Challenging, rewarding game balance that forces you to evaluate every step, or pay the price. You'll soon see why most of the world's population is dead!
- …want to feel like you might actually be able to survive against an incredibly harsh and unforgiving apocalypse.
- …have ever wandered through a hardware store thinking "This would be a great place to hole up when the zombies come."
- …love survival RPGs but get frustrated when you can't hotwire one of the nearby broken-down cars, weld a makeshift ram to the front, and plow it through the gates of the next story-important area.
- …enjoy detailed simulation-style games, but also want to mutate into a bizarre cat-girl slime mold creature with a cybernetic gun arm in one.

Good game, DO NOT BUY ON STEAM. You can get this, more updated and more supported, for free off the official website/discord. This is a free game which has been repackaged, not by the original developers, and charged for. Just get it from the official channels.18 found this helpful
this game is great, and also free + consistently updated on github (daily updates if you don't mind experimental/buggy gameplay). save your 20 dollars and just play it there since this steam version hasn't been updated since December of 2024, despite the newest stable version releasing on github over 2 months ago at the time of this review. update: the latest version finally came out yesterday, and i still think the game is great, and i still think you should play it for free on github, unless playtime is worth 20 dollars to you, or if you already own it here and don't care for experimental like me.4 found this helpful
hell yeah: the videogame2 found this helpful
One of my all time favorite games... now on Steam. I have put thousands of hours in this game before the steam version. Has a steep learning curve, but put the time and effort and you will come out with one of the most rewarding gaming experiences out there. Buy it!1 found this helpful
This game is free to download from Github, but I'd say it's worth buying on Steam if you want cloud saves and a consistent way to track playtime. Pick it up if you're a fan of the project.1 found this helpful
Great, crunchy, roguelike. If you like stuff like caves of qud or nethack this is for you. Zombies. Post apocalyptic. Good stuff.
