They Are Billions is a steampunk strategy game set on a post-apocalyptic planet. Build and defend colonies to survive against the billions of the infected that seek to annihilate the few remaining living humans. Can humanity survive after the zombie apocalypse?

 

They Are Billions is all about strategy and not quick key commands. With the game's pause feature, gamers are able to plan out their strategy, build, and give orders to their army with no progression of in-game time. As it only takes one zombie breaking through to end a colony, meticulous strategy is crucial.

 

In Survival Mode, a random world is generated with its own population of infected, geography, weather and events. To win, the colony must survive a set amount of days (80, 100, 120, or 150).

 

In 2018, upon final release, a full Campaign Mode will be included, the object of which is to build successful colonies that are connected to each other by a railway network. Little by little, as you reconquest the map from the Infected, the origin story of where the infection came from is revealed.

In a city infested by zombies, you and five others wake up with no memory of how you got there. Your only means of escape is to appease your kidnappers by harvesting blood samples from the infected.

 

Will you ally with the other survivors or prey on them to secure your own safety? Anything goes as long as it gets you out of the zone.

 

Form dynamic alliances with other players to take on formidable zombie bosses - and then you turn on your allies to steal their blood samples. In a cruel set-up where everyone fights for the survival of the few, betrayal is not a question of "if", but "when".

Endless RPG is the rare breed of random dungeon generator aimed at players rather than dungeon masters. Compatible with both Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition and Pathfinder roleplaying systems, Endless RPG essentially creates a brand new adventure module each time you choose to go on a mission, allowing players who don't have a dedicated game master to enjoy the pen-and-paper experience.

 

Endless RPG isn't a game in the traditional sense. It is a tool for players of D&D and Pathfinder allowing them to play the game solo or with a small group of friends. The app contains a tactical battle map and a quick combat tool to aid with combat, but all of the dice rolling is up to the players. Endless RPG creates multi-level random dungeons from different environments like caves and ruins and fills them with monsters, traps, treasures, locked doors and various hidden secrets.

 

Players can create a party of up to eight character and Endless RPG is capable of generating adventures for parties leveled 1 to 20. The app is perfect for roleplaying enthusiasts that just can't get enough D&D or Pathfinder.
