November 14th, 2024 — MicroProse, the legendary publisher of simulation and strategy games, is thrilled to announce that Urban Strife, a unique blend of turn-based strategy, post-apocalyptic survival, and RPG, will be launching on Steam in Early Access on December 10th, 2024.
Developed by White Pond Games, Urban Strife combines classic turn-based strategy mechanics with modern survival elements and a thrilling storyline that promises to captivate fans of tactical combat and gritty post-apocalyptic narratives.
Urban Strife invites the player to rebuild and defend a dilapidated shelter in the southern United States, navigating a dangerous world where alliances with factions, strategic combat, and careful resource management are essential for survival. Rescued from a car crash by the kind folk of Urban Shelter, the hero brings them news of a huge zombie horde headed their way from Atlanta. To survive, one must organize the militia, secure essential resources, and rebuild the base at any cost. Along the way, you’ll get to fight ruthless warlords, recruit new friends, and bring back humanity from the brink of disaster.
The game’s Early Access release will include:
-
Immersive Survival and RPG Mechanics: Scavenge, craft, and negotiate with local factions to sustain your shelter’s hunger, health, and morale, whilst managing your team’s wounds, training, and equipment.
-
Classic Turn-Based Combat with a Twist: A classic Action Points system combined with a unique dynamic zombie horde movement for streamlined, challenging battles.
-
Faction-Based Storyline: Navigate alliances and conflicts with three major factions: the Army rebels, a zombie-worshiping cult, and a violent biker gang.
-
Real Ballistics and Combat Physics: Each weapon class—handguns, shotguns, rifles, and more— comes with simulated ballistics and offers distinct advantages and drawbacks, making the choice of hardware a strategic decision.
Players can look forward to a variety of new features, community-driven updates, and continuous content improvements in Urban Strife’s Early Access period, building on player feedback to refine and expand the game’s mechanics and storylines.
