About Polycalypse: Last bit of Hope
Survive the zombie apocalypse by yourself or with your friends in this low poly post apocalyptic world. Survive, build your base and fight the zombies. But beware, you aren't the only one trying to survive. There are other survivors in procedurally generated bases that will shoot you on sight!
There's a lot of stuff to do besides surviving in the apocalyptic world, if you are good enough, you can make your life after the apocalypse even better than the one before it. Are you up to the challenge?
That's right, you are able to tear limbs from zombies just by shooting at them or smacking them with a melee weapon, but that's not enough, they will keep coming at you until you destroy their brain. Once again, with a melee weapon or a shot to the head.
When they lose their legs, they will start crawling and lose a lot of their movement speed, and if you take their arms as well, you can hold them as a pet, but they will definitely bite!
Since democracy and negotiation doesn't work on zombies, there's many weapons in Polycalypse.
Ranging from simple melee and ranged weapons to heavy mounted machineguns and traps like landmines, spikes and bear traps. Oh yeah, and there's a KATANA!
He might look cute but when you realize that his diet consists of zombie and human flesh, you might change your mind. Keep your trusty companion well fed to gain "Trust" and he will listen to your commands such as attacking enemies, looking for loot etc..
If you don't like dogs (come on), you can leave him in the base without losing anything but his trust.
There's a lot of disabled and broken vehicles in the apocalypse, but you can scrap whatever is good and assemble one fully functioning vehicle, or two.
You are able to manually install some vehicle parts which allows you to replace, repair or upgrade your vehicles. You can put a racecar engine inside a combine harvester if that's your thing.
Some parts that you can manually change are: engine, wheels, car battery, headlight bulbs..
Axes and chainsaws have another purpose besides cutting zombies into pieces, they can also cut wood into pieces, literally!
You gather wood by first cutting down a tree, then you need to cut it into logs, or in smaller pieces if necessary.
Wood is used for building as well as cooking and... setting fires. You can set fires inside procedurally generated enemy bases if you are stealthy enough!
You can build bases piece by piece if you have the required materials to do so. Every built object is destructible, doesn't matter if it's built by a player or an AI survivor.
You need to take care about making your building solid and stable because pieces can fall down if they don't have enough support!
You are able to craft DIY items such as Molotov cocktails, arrows, flaming arrows etc. by using the workshop table.
You can also upgrade your weapons by installing variety of attachments like scopes, grips, compensators, lasers, flashlights, and for super sneaky missions, silencers.
What is the point of surviving if there's no other good survivors? Team up with your friends and show those zeds that the fight is still not over!
We currently support CO-OP multiplayer mode.
These guys do not like the idea of negotiation either, they will shoot you on sight!
Enemy survivors live in their procedurally generated bases that are filled with loot. If you manage to beat them one way or another, you are free to take whatever you want from their stockpile!
You don't have to be stronger to beat them, you only need to be smarter, you can lead hordes of zombies on their location and watch the battle unfold.
After being killed with their brain intact, these survivors will turn into ZOMBIES! That's right, you never know if you are safe around these so make sure you confirm your kills!
Since the power was gone after the apocalypse, the only way of powering your electronic devices is by using generators.
Generators use fuel to generate power, and they are very loud... and zombies are attracted by sound so be careful!
You can use power to light up your base, activate some decoys and traps, recharge car batteries etc.
Electricity is still an unfinished feature, and is not available in the game.
There are 3 planned game modes for Polycalypse: Last bit of hope:
Sandbox mode, on the other side, tests your survival capabilities where it sets you in a world full of zombies and loot and lets you survive on your own or with the help of your friends. Thanks to the random events, both good and bad, your survival capabilities will be pushed to the max. Will you be able to withstand managing your basic needs while dealing with the apocalypse and greedy survivors, or will you turn into another victim of the virus?
Story mode will tell you a short story about the protagonist and his dog. After all the events of the virus, the world we know was lost, people that we knew were not the same, everything has changed. Just as the protagonist loses all his hope for humanity, he hears a voice from another survivor through the radio: "Scavenger One, you went radio silent, did you manage to get the gas?". He realizes that this radio is connected to a larger group of people which gives him last bit of hope for finding survivors..
--IMPORTANT NOTICE!--
- This game was a learning project. It is a result of a game developer learning how to make games, therefore the price is FREE.
- Polycalypse is an unfinished game and is not being worked on anymore, but I decided to publish it anyways as a thank you for all the support throughout the years. Enjoy!

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
With this game being a learning project, I want to give my likes and dislikes in the hopes that the developer sees this for constructive criticism. Likes: -Weight system: The more heavier the items you have, the slower your speed and stamina regen will be. Also your stamina drains faster. I love that you have to take weight into consideration. -Dismemberment: I like the way that enemies fall to pieces, especially when hitting them with a car, that was satisfying. -Raiders: I love that fact that there are human AI that try to kill you. I wish more zombie games had human enemies to help vary things. -Assembly System: Having to grab pieces of either a car or a 50 cal gun is a touch I really like. -Melee System: You have to be precise with it. The way you swing your weapon will effect how it damages the enemy. Dislikes: -Melee System: Some melee weapons like the Scythe are nice, but I found the Baseball bat to be useless. Also I had a hard time figuring out the range of the Baseball bat, I don't think I damaged any enemies with it. (Might be a 'me' problem on that one) -Getting wood: I accepted a quest from the lady at the spawning barn, she wanted to to get 3 logs, sounds simp…1 found this helpful

Игра 'Polycalypse: Last bit of Hope' — это настоящий подарок для любителей жанра выживания с элементами стратегии. Разработчики сумели создать мир, который одновременно завораживает своей постапокалиптической эстетикой и заставляет по-настоящему напрячься. Каждый пройденный день, каждая собранная единица ресурсов — это маленькая победа над хаосом. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, подается ненавязчиво, позволяя игроку самому достраивать картину мира. А вот геймплей — это то, где 'Polycalypse' сияет ярче всего. Управление ресурсами, строительство базы, оборона от враждебных фракций и мутировавших существ — всё это реализовано на высочайшем уровне. Система крафта интуитивно понятна, но при этом достаточно глубока, чтобы заставить игрока экспериментировать. Особенно хочется отметить атмосферу. Звуковое сопровождение, мрачная графика и ощущение постоянной угрозы создают неповторимое погружение. Есть, конечно, и мелкие недочеты, вроде периодических багов или не самой удобной навигации в меню, но они не портят общего впечатления. 'Polycalypse: Last bit of Hope' — это игра, которая затягивает на долгие часы, заставляя забыть о времени в погоне за последним проблеском надежды.
fun like the game the art style is good kind of like tabs
[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Polycalypse: Last bit of Hope" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is a really poorly made collection of other people's game assets (and maybe a few really badly made bespoke ones) as the developer tried to work out how to make a game in Unity, then failed because they couldn't do it properly. But, instead of doing the right thing and just burying this in the backyard and never speaking of it again, the "developer" weirdly incinerated $100 and published the garbage on Steam Direct. And here we are. So, "Polycalypse: Last bit of Hope" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either.

buttons some time dont work and vary boring
