Synopsis
Emerge: Cities of the Apocalypse places players in a dystopian world filled with zombies and mutated creatures. Once glorious cities now stand in ruins, as the few remaining humans now live as scavengers, bereft of any organisation or hope.
But not any more! Choose a character and embark on an epic quest to restore civilization and eradicate the undead threat!
Why should I write an article or generally bother with this game?
Emerge: COTA is not yet another zombie-shooting gorefest where people just click and watch guts and blood fly all over the screen while the game's characters scream macho lines lines about "another dead Zed".
Emerge: COTA is a complex game where many separate subsystems are simultaneously at work, providing players with the excitement of both carefully planned decision making and intense confrontations with the undead armies.
The game is a four-plus year marathon, developed by a single person, where every ounce of hard work and creativity was poured into it. The amount of content, things to research and explore, possibilities and tactics to contemplate and employ, and the additional content to unlock with each playthrough is staggering!
Key Features

EXPLORE AND EXPAND: Restore derelict metropolises, one turn at a time! How will you spend your Action Points this turn? Will you scout a nearby sector, then clean your weapons and check out a new recruit? Or will you patch the hole in your defenses and then blindly move into unexplored territory?
-
REDISCOVER LOST TECH: Plot your course over an expansive, multi-branched research tree! Bring forth scientific marvels, or start a second industrial revolution! Or perhaps, build a strong economy and make powerful alliances with merchants and mercenaries!

Press Coverage
"I know what you’re thinking: that you’ve seen some free flash games that do the same thing. And you’re not entirely wrong, but I haven’t seen one myself that does it this well, or that has this much going on."
"It’s quite clear that Emilios Manolidis has put a lot of effort into this project [...] After all, solo development projects are by no means an easy task, but it’s clear that this guy has worked his butt off to provide a finished product worthy of being played."
"A complex strategy game which plans to allow players the fun of confronting undead enemies, while also coming up with creative strategies to outlast them and wipe them out."
