They are Billions - RTS meets Zombie Hordes !

eekfek · 7 Nov 2017 at 21:28

Basically, a survival RTS only the enemies are Zombies ! looks fun, theres plenty of gameplay on YT if you like the look of it.

> They are Billions < website in early access beta for £15 (via Humble Bundle store)

I'll give feedback soon.

Graphics are really good, these screenshots don't do it must justice but the game supports Ultrawide 3440*1440 plus other settings straight out the box !!

and then it went all pear shaped 17 days in !! $£@?>% Zombie zerg !!!

Was just watching Mack's preview of this. It does sound very interesting.

I would say thanks OP as I've been waiting for this, however, crashing all over the place.

Does look good though, although it might get boring quite quickly.

There has just been a small update to the client, no idea what it changed but it was miniscule.

Smokey Deza · 14 Nov 2017 at 14:37

Hard game but it's quite fun.

I'm at day 70 and I won't be able to repel the next horde. I've mostly spent all my resources repairing damage from the last attack and made little progress advancing my infrastructure.

Forgot all about this! Is it the type of game you can have a quick go on, or do hours disappear?

Dr Delphi · 14 Nov 2017 at 17:50

Looks awesome, but no more steam keys until they launch into early access!

I've been playing for a couple of hours now, good little game albeit punishingly difficult. You really have to be on the ball with your planning & base management, if you're too slow getting started then it's pretty much game over, even on the easiest settings.

It's a fun concept though and can't wait until it's fleshed out a little further, would be nice if there was a proper sandbox mode to play around in, i'm sure that's on the development map somewhere though.

looks like so much fun and the one youtube video I watched of someone playing it made me so stressed to there crap defence, I'm going to have to buy it in 2 days when its released, no doubt be suckered into paying far to much for it.

arknor · 10 Dec 2017 at 16:27

is this one of those early access games that will never be finished? has no real content and just some gameplay that gets repetitive as hell after a few hours

eekfek · 10 Dec 2017 at 20:04

Repetitive gameplay is not always a bad thing if it's fun and keeps you entertained.

If the game were to be released in it's current form and content it would easily be worth the £15.

If your unsure I'd recommend watching some of the videos doing the rounds on YT.

Been looking forward to this one, currently £17.54 on Steam.

Just picked it up, and managed to get to 36 days after some early dying! Pretty epic game though!

Kainz · 12 Dec 2017 at 20:34

Is it me or is this a bit too much for an early access title that won't probably come out for ages?

Random Guy Esq. · 12 Dec 2017 at 20:34

It's available on HB with the 10% discount too, just in case some of you have store credit over there.

Brazo · 12 Dec 2017 at 22:14

I fancy this. I don’t know why but every so often a game is posted on here and I buy it.

Glaucus · 12 Dec 2017 at 23:05

Picked it up this evening, managed day 59 so far.
God you need so much space. And every map I'm always short of one resource. Last map tons of stone but next to no farm land.

It certainly is addictive. I need to find there forum and make some suggestions.
Wasd needs to move screen around for a start, that's infuriating.

I think it's 10% off everywhere, including steam.

Glaucus · 13 Dec 2017 at 06:43

damn, it 51days, thought I had it this time, was just pushing my walls out to get more shock and ballista towers at the front, and the hoard attacked the one wall I hadn't upgraded yet. Which 5mins latter would have been.

Brazo · 13 Dec 2017 at 11:29

Has anyone played this on an igpu?

Would prefer this on my laptop and it has an Intel hd530

Kainz · 13 Dec 2017 at 13:06

Watched the Mack preview of it last night. It looks terribly good. I am concerned of it being microtransaction laden though as development progresses. Still toying with the idea of purchasing it.
