Fight to defeat or escape from a wide variety of powerful monstrosities, from zombies to giant insects to killer robots and things far stranger and deadlier, and against the others like yourself, that want what you have…
As your game begins, you awaken with hazy memories of violence and terror from when the world suddenly unravelled around you. Now you need to explore your surroundings, and secure food, water and safety. After that, who knows? Long term survival will mean tapping abilities you haven’t used before, learning to survive in this new environment and developing new skills.
FEATURES:
- Tilesets, sound, localization and mod support;
- Backwards compatible with desktop savegames;
- Stores game data and savegames in a publicly writeable location;
- Works with a physical keyboard or virtual keyboard & touchscreen;
- Auto-saves when the app loses focus (screen locked, switched apps etc.);
- Highly customizable touch controls and automatic in-game contextual shortcuts.
CONTROLS:
- `Swipe`: Directional movement (hold for virtual joystick);
- `Tap`: Confirm selection in menu or Pause one turn in-game (hold to Pause several turns in-game);
- `Double-tap`: Cancel/Go back;
- `Pinch`: Zoom in/out (in-game);
- `Back hardware button`: Toggle virtual keyboard (hold to toggle keyboard shortcuts).
TIPS:
- If your game doesn't start, crashes or hangs often try toggling "Software rendering" option in prelaunch menu;
- Default tileset is high-memory consuming; if game crashes during world creation, try changing tileset to another one (e.g. "Retrodays");
- Adjust terminal size under Settings > Options > Graphics (requires restart).
- There are multiple Android-specific options live under Settings > Options > Android;
- Keyboard shortcuts for frequently used and/or context sensitive commands appear at the bottom of the screen;

- If game does not react to touch commands (swipes and shortcut bar does not work), try to disable any accessibility services and apps you might have running (e.g. touch assist, autoclickers etc).
