Apocalypse Run!

About this game

Roguelite - Strategy - RPG

Create a party of four tourists who, after two-weeks in layover hell, find themselves in the now-abandoned Atlanta airport, oblivious that the Apocalypse has overrun America.

After escaping Motorlord Dysentery — the new ruler of the American highways — they'll have to hustle and fight their way past a host of crazy characters on a trail to Portland Oregon, the last free city on Earth.

Those that survive the journey will need to follow geography hints to recruit three brilliant scientists in a mad plan to Reverse the Apocalypse!

...That is if the actual player's old high school rival doesn't have something to say about it.

  Beta Translations are here.

  While English is still the only officially supported language, I've greatly improved the beta translations for French, German, and Spanish. > 99.5% of all text now has translations, and the context sensitive "madlib" lines should now work a whole lot better in these languages.

  Revamped Boss Battle

  Minor spoilers ahead: The train boss battle has been revamped. A lot of bugs were fixed, and I spent the last couple days making it a fun and more challenging experience.

  Recent Changes and Bug fixes

  I've been busy fixing bugs and issues. I don't want to spam you with updates on every single version so here are the highlights: Fixed the jeep, solo3 and time skill bug submitted through google docs. Thank you anonymous poster! Added Creator Music to the audio menu. This replaces the music either with Public Domain music, or it uses cc4 music and pastes the required attribution on screen (as per Kevin Macleod's terms of service*). FIxed a nasty bug with using custom profile names that could cause crashes Added a framerate limit of 200 fps, so as to not over-stress systems. You can turn this off in the dev tools. Did some "destructive" testing of character creation and put in a few fixes Non-geography buffs rejoice! You can now cheat at the geography tests! I'll continue to monitor the Discord, Steam Discussions, and Google Form submissions for bugs. So if you run into trouble, please let me know! * A lot of the licensed music, and around two thirds of the "Creator Music" comes from Kevin Macleod. The man almost single-handedly(though I'm sure he would disagree) makes streaming games with music possible.

  Release Version Coming

  I'm getting ready to release the first early access version later today. (around 5 or 6 PST) Be warned it will break some save game compatibility. If you are on chapter 2 or 3, it will reset your map, but you'll get to keep your party(levels, cars, weapons, inventory). It will not effect your profile or achievements in any way. I've made a beta called "legacy" available that uses the old save game version. You can use this to finish up before switching to the new version. And if you time the reset right, this might make certain achievements easier, like "Rock God" or "Scrapper" which are two of the best, and hardest unlocks in the game. I don't think there will be future save game compatibility breaks. And if they do occur, I'd like to give you more notice, but this came up during a prerelease play test, and I'd rather break it now, rather then when the game is public.

  Game Balance and Difficulty Levels

  The starting enemies are now easier. The pirate biker and pets kitty-mobile both got nerfed as their health was too high. Next, the encounters near the starting area are a bit easier. But they still ramp up to full as you near Portland. This gives you breathing room to earn achievements and power up your party. And last but not least, there are now difficulty levels. You select your difficulty when you first make a profile, any existing profiles are now set to "gamer" which is the way it was before but with a 10% boost to salvaged resources. If you're still having trouble, you can select the "casual" or "tourist" levels for more stat boosts.
