Urban Strife is OUT NOW in Early Access
MicroProse, the legendary name in simulation and strategy games, and White Pond Games proudly announce that Urban Strife, the much-awaited turn-based strategy and post-apocalyptic survival RPG, is now live in Early Access on Steam!
Urban Strife immerses players in a gritty, chaotic world where survival demands hard choices, sharp tactics and a willingness to fight for the future. Set in the conflicted, faction-run city of Urban, the game delivers a deeply involving narrative, tense combat and rich crafting systems begging for ‘one more turn’. Experience real bullet ballistics, a realistic day/night cycle, dynamic fire mechanics and advanced sound and smoke propagation as you fight to survive one more day. NPCs live independent lives shaped by faction-based morals, and survival mechanics include hunger, wounds, and sickness. As Early Access progresses, players can look forward to major plot twists and advanced modding support, enabling the community to expand and evolve the apocalypse.
Survive the Apocalypse Your Way
Rescued from the brink of death after a car crash, you awaken in Urban Shelter, a crumbling haven in the heart of the southern United States. As a massive zombie horde barrels down from Atlanta, it’s up to you to rally the survivors, rebuild the shelter and navigate a fractured world. Choose your allies carefully, as your decisions will shape not just your survival but the fate of those around you.
“Urban Strife combines the best of turn-based combat, survival mechanics and RPG storytelling into a single unforgettable experience,” said Chris Ansell, CMO of MicroProse. “With today’s Early Access launch, players can step into this dangerous world and help shape its evolution as we bring new features and refinements to life”
What Makes Urban Strife Stand Out?
Packed with depth and innovation, Urban Strife brings the apocalypse to life with:
Dynamic Survival Mechanics: Scavenge, craft, and negotiate alliances to manage food, health, and morale while keeping your militia ready for the next fight.
Immersive Realism: Powered by Unreal Engine, the game features real bullet ballistics, a day/night cycle, dynamic fire that consumes and spreads materials, and advanced sound and smoke mechanics.
Faction-Based Alliances: Navigate the moral complexity of alliances with three major factions-the Army rebels, a fanatical zombie cult, and a ruthless biker gang. Every decision matters, and no path is without its challenges.
Sophisticated Ballistics and Combat Physics: Each weapon, from handguns to sniper rifles, comes with distinct advantages, body-part targeting, and realistic projectile physics for intense, tactical firefights.
Classic Turn-Based Combat with a Twist: The Action Points system is optimized with simultaneous zombie horde movement, ensuring battles stay streamlined and suspenseful.
Early Access Roadmap Released
To celebrate today’s launch, the team has unveiled a comprehensive Early Access roadmap, detailing future updates. Players can look forward to new storylines, expanded areas, advanced weapons, and deeper customization options, alongside community-driven enhancements. With advanced modding support planned later in Early Access, the possibilities for Urban Strife are endless.
