Evaluation

Terminus: Zombie Survivors launched out of Early Access on August 19, 2024, after roughly three years of development. Since the 1.0 release, Longplay Studios has kept up a consistent pace of meaningful updates. The post-launch content history includes the 1.1 NPC Update (February 11, 2025), which introduced hostile NPCs, companion automation, and expanded combat systems, followed by the "Last Escape" story DLC (September 12, 2025), a substantial paid expansion featuring two new areas, 50+ quests, 16 survivor NPCs, and a new ending. All three DLC items currently listed on the store have shipped. The developer is currently rolling out a V1.3 beta update focused on Steam Workshop and modding support. Multiple beta patches have shipped throughout 2026, with the most recent — V1.3.1.43, adding modding expansions and remastered music — posted on July 24, 2026. In November 2025, the developer explicitly stated: "We plan to keep building on the game for as long as we can." On July 1, 2026, they announced they are actively working on two new games — one of which is described as a "new zombie survival game" — and promised to reveal the second title in August 2026. This suggests the studio is healthy and expanding, not winding down. No specific future content for Terminus has been named beyond the in-progress V1.3 update, but the combination of the developer's stated commitment, an ongoing beta update cycle, and active studio output all point to continued development.

About this game

Terminus: Zombie Survivors is a turn-based survival roguelike set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. Weeks have passed since the zombie virus took hold of humanity, and most of the population has already been infected. As one of the few remaining survivors, you must finally venture out to join up with the other survivors at the Terminus. Battle your way through hunger, frigid temperatures, and ravenous zombies to make it to the Terminus—escape the city through whatever means possible, or even develop a vaccine!

EXPLORE A RANDOMLY GENERATED MAP

Each journey for survival is different, as the very city you battle through to survive is procedurally generated. Over 150 different areas are generated, with numerous locations to discover, hundreds of items to scavenge, and endless zombies to evade or fight. No two games are ever the same, but the journey to the Terminus is uniquely challenging each time.

BE STRATEGIC IN TURN-BASED PLAY

Choose your next move carefully! Every movement, action, and decision you make deducts from your Action Points (AP). Strategic management of your AP is key to survival. Use too little, and you might not find the resources needed to survive. Use too many, and you may leave yourself open to attack.

CRAFT, COOK, AND SURVIVE

Maintain your condition to stay in fighting shape during this apocalypse. Surviving isn't easy—you'll need to eat, sleep, and stay warm. Scavenge for materials to craft tools and weapons, and cook meals to keep your energy up. Every action, from crafting to cooking, directly impacts your chances of survival.

FIGHT VARIOUS ZOMBIES

Choose from a vast arsenal of tools and weapons with which to attack the oncoming zombie horde. Pick which parts of the body you want to hit, and experiment with the countless options on offer—if in doubt, remove the head or destroy the brain!

EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE ENDINGS

Survive the unending hordes of undead through one of multiple escape scenarios: reach the Terminus safe zone, escape by boat or helicopter, join a group of survivors, or even develop the vaccine!

RECRUIT AND TRADE WITH NPCs

Clawing your way across the city, you’ll occasionally encounter other uninfected survivors. Band together with them on your journey, trade goods, or steal their supplies and find your own way to survive the end of the world.

DISCOVER YOUR FAVORITE SURVIVOR CLASS

Soldier, police officer, firefighter, farmer—each one will fare differently in an apocalypse, but it’s up to you to discover which one stands the best chance of surviving. Pick from 15 different classes, traits to unlock, and stats to upgrade as you build the ultimate survivor.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SURVIVAL

Use sandbox mode to tailor your survival experience by adjusting settings like spawn rates and resource availability. Try surviving additional game scenarios such as Out of Stock, Crowd, and Frozen Zombies to discover new ways to play Terminus: Zombie Survivors.
