She is out in the open and should find a spot with both good cover and a free line of sight to the enemies. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is the ultimate fix for your tactical strategy addiction. Dive into a deep, turn-based, tactical combat system inspired by the XCOM games. Sneak through shadows to avoid conflict or to catch enemies unaware.
Real-time stealth allows you full control of approach: sneak into an enemy camp, position the team of Mutants to your advantage, and gain the element of surprise. What looks like a huge metal bird lies here. Wonder if someone could make the metal bird fly once….
I dare not go into this large cave. It is filled with car wrecks, but something else lurks in the shadows. Stay away! The ruins hide powerful enemies and I feel sick to my stomach every time I go near the place.
Chased off every stranger who came close to the Ark. Few dared to go out into the Zone.
That is what the Elder calls the outside world. But the safe days are over. You hunger. Factions are forming, bosses on top and slaves on the bottom. In the middle, fixers who try to turn a profit from anyone and everyone.
And the Elder is dying. To explore the Zone, to search for artefacts, for knowledge.
To build, grow the land, seek out others, create a new civilization on the ruins of the old. Seek your origin.
In this game, you play as one of The People — heavily mutated humans living in The Ark, a small and isolated settlement in a sea of chaos. The outside world is unknown to you, and so is your origin.
The Ark, your home in the dawnworld. It is up to you, the players, to decide which projects to embark on. The Zone, wastelands outside the Ark. The game includes two maps of example Zones; London and New York and a plethora of tables and other tools to let the GM populate its sectors with mutants, deadly monsters and bizarre phenomena.
Where in the world the Zone and the Ark are located is up to you — why not play in a post-apocalyptic version of your own home town? The modular approach of this game lets you place all of the campaign material wherever you like. Mutant: Year Zero is just the beginning.
The first major expansion Mutant: Genlab Alpha released in , expands the rules to cover mutated animals and exploring the background of these mutants in a full length campaign.
Genlab Alpha is a complete stand-alone game, you only need the book to play but can also be combined with Mutant: Year Zero. Full stop.
