A new game has recently appeared on kickstarter called “Roam” from an Ex Gas Powered Games artist Ryan Sharr.

The game’s tagline is “Scavenge. Build. Fight Survive” and from the “prototype video” on kickstarter the fighting and surviving is well explained.

At the time of writing this “Roam” has already hit it’s $40,000 goal and currently sits at $56,441 and now has several other goals. Drivable vehicles will be added to the game, It now also includes a player skill system and will no doubt hit the other targets with 20 days left to go.

The game is about your usual zombies tearing the place up but instead of being in a set map like diablo and path of exiles you have the freedom to explore the map in which ever way you feel is best as it is open plan.

The game will force you to fine food, water and tools. You will have to build barricades and forts to defend yourself as well as finding “improvised” weapons to survive the incoming onslaught of brain hungry fiends.

My first opinion of this game is that it is aspiring to take tower defence games to a whole new level and that is something i’m happy to see having spent too many hours playing the most basic of flash tower defence games to numb boredom. The game will also but much more interesting if you are playing with friends as it will support 3 friends to join you in the impending death that one would assume comes with killing zombies day in day out.

If this sounds like the kind of game you would be interested in then head on over to their kickstarter page to check them out and watch the prototype video, for only $15 dollar you get early Beta access and full access to the game when it comes out.
