Decision: Red Daze is an isometric action RPG with a unique mix of survival and tower defense mechanics where you explore an apocalyptic wasteland and experience the dread of a deadly new disease.

Decision: Red Daze is an isometric action RPG with a unique mix of survival and tower defense mechanics. As the Red Daze engulfs the continent, leaving destruction and horribly mutated monsters in its wake, survivors are the only glimmer of hope the human race has. As the leader of a settlement, you must find these people and recruit them in order to clear the Earth from this dangerous disease.

Feel the adrenaline rush fighting back hordes of horrible zombies, mutants, and other deadly creatures that will try to kill you at sight, explore the world in search of new allies, find and upgrade deadly weapons, craft increasingly powerful defense mechanisms to keep your settlements safe. Don’t low your guard, danger is never far away.

Adding a gameplay layer of tower defense and survival mechanics, Decision: Red Daze puts you in charge of a group of survivors of the terrible Red Daze -- a strange disease that leaves only destruction in its wake, turning people into horrible mutant monsters.

Civilization as we know it has collapsed -- and now you and your ragged band of survivors are the last glimmer of hope for humankind. Explore a dangerous, apocalyptic wasteland in search of survivors and resources like ammo and food. At the same time, you’ll be in charge of crafting weapons and gear for your team, upgrading and expanding your settlements, and building its defenses to protect them from the wandering hordes of monsters.

Indie developer FlyAnvil and publisher Nordcurrent Labs announced that Decision: Red Daze will be released on Steam and GOG on May 19, 2022

Blurring the boundaries between all these genres, and balancing all its mechanics and peculiarities, aren't easy feats -- you can take a look at this fascinating process in the dev diaries series that FlyAnvil publishes regularly.

The first entry of the series went into the combat mechanics of the game, its mix between action RPG and tower defense, and how they evolved from their origin in the first games of this cult franchise. The varied enemies you'll face in the Dust Bowl, as well as the different bosses, were the protagonists of two entries of the dev diary. The third entry dove deeper into the story and lore of the game, a key aspect of any RPG. In the fourth post, you can read how survival and tower defense mechanics meet in the building of your settlements. And finally (for now), the more action-oriented side of the game is discussed in two entries devoted to the design of its many different weapons, from regular stuff like shotguns and miniguns to more powerful tools of destruction, such as machine guns and flamethrowers.


Key Features:

  • Experience a unique blend of action roleplay, survival, and tower defense mechanics that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
  • Explore a huge map in search of new allies and valuable resources: anyone you find out there is a potential hero!
  • Adapt to an alive, dangerous world with a day-and-night cycle that affects the gameplay experience profoundly 
  • Capture new settlements and upgrade them to host more survivors.
  • Build defenses to keep your settlements safe from the endless waves of enemies.
  • Find potential heroes with their own specialized classes and talents to recruit, so they can join you every time you go outside to explore.
  • Try a wide selection of brutal weapons to mow down your enemies.
  • Craft new equipment and gear to better equip your survivors. 

Decision: Red Daze is coming to PC (Steam/GOG) on May 19, 2022.
