What happens when you take the concept of a Rogue Like and mix it with a Zombie Apocalypse? You get Rogue Survivor. Rogue Survivor's alpha was first released on May 3rd, 2010 by Roguedjack, the game's sole developer. Development halted in 2012 with Roguedjack's sudden disappearance from the internet, but resumed in 2018. Get it here.

comment
Revolvers Are Just Better: Sort of. The Kolt Revolver does have slightly better damage than the standard pistol, but also a fewer rounds before needing to reload. All the other ranged weapons far outclass it, however.

Ax-Crazy - With the release of alpha 6 other survivors can become murderous if desperate, really ramping up the challenge. Then again, this is counterbalanced by the fact that you can kill people and take their stuff, too. Jason Myers. "What a nice axe you have..."

comment
Redshirt Army: At the beginning of the outbreak, the city has a fully-functioning police force. They do what they can to protect the civilian survivors (including the player character), but in a typical playthrough the vast majority of them will have been annihilated by the end of week one, with maybe a dozen or so surviving in isolated areas. However, they do start with basic body armor, firearms and ammunition, and decent melee weapons, so they do at least put up a better fight than most of the civilian populace.

Gathering Steam: Survivors at the beginning of the outbreak start with no skills, but they gain a skill for every 24 hours they survive. New survivors that spawn in as the outbreak progresses start off with an amount of skill points equal to the number of days the outbreak has lasted. After a few dozen days, survivors spawning in will have nearly maxed out skill sets. As an Anti-Frustration Features, hostile survivor groups such as bikers and gangs will stop spawning in after the first couple of weeks so you won't have to be dealing with maxed out hostile NPCs, though Black Ops squads will continue to drop in and try to kill everyone.

Fragile Speedster: Skeletons are faster than zombies, but have low hit points and can often be taken out with 1 hit. Fortunately, like shamblers they can't climb over obstacles. Rats as well, though they're usually limited to the sewers.

Zombie Apocalypse
 Rogue Survivor (Video Game) / int_60414102
comment
Zombie Apocalypse: Of a unique type. Wounds created by zombies are no more hazardous than any other (although dying at the hands of a zombie will instantly zombify you), and those who starve to death without even contacting a zombie can potentially turn undead (depending on your settings). In addition, skeletal undead and Zombie Masters (who lead other undead and seem to be intelligent) exist. On top of everything else, all types of undead will evolve into much more powerful forms unless you turn that option off. Whatever the answers, CHAR Corporation is certainly involved.

comment
Sinister Subway: The subway system travels from one side of the city to another in a straight line, but not only is each station without power or subway cars, the tunnels are also filled to the brim with undead at the start of the outbreak. Ironically, since the tunnels are sealed off with unbreakable metal doors, the subway stations make extremely good safehouses despite the swarms of zombies lurking literally feet away.

Badass Normal: Anyone who survives in the city long enough, be they player character or NPC, will eventually become one of these by way of necessity. Every human NPC, friendly or hostile, in the city receives and spends one skill point every morning, gradually improving their abilities, and scavenging and trading will eventually result in people amassing rather diverse arsenals. The ones that survive that long, anyway.

The Needless
 Rogue Survivor (Video Game) / int_90b98fbb
comment
The Needless: CHAR guards defending CHAR facilities require no food (and thus never need to leave their posts), while Jason Myers requires neither food nor sleep and can focus solely on hunting and killing. The Prisoner That Should Not Be, the game's only plot-important NPC, will eventually starve to death if you fail to find him, but it takes 40 days for him to do so, which is way longer than most players can ever expect to survive themselves.

 Rogue Survivor (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: Survivors have a pathological compulsion to destroy fortifications and barricades, despite them being put up to keep the undead outside. If they only did this when crazed from hunger it might be understandable, but they seem to be doing it out of boredom if anything else. In any case nonaligned survivors can be as destructive to your safehouse as the zombie hordes.

Friendly Fireproof: Averted, as you can target non hostile NPCs and make them a 'personal Enemy'. Though doing so will get you marked as a murderer and cops may recognize you as such. There is also an option for the Civilians to assign personal enemies if desperate enough but you can toggle this off.

Grand Theft Me: Played with. It's implied that the Player is really a 'spirit' that is controlling the actions of their host. More shown with the reincarnation system which, when you die, gives you the option to Body Surf to another npc running around in the city. If you do the flavor text claims they 'feel disoriented' for a moment before you gain control.

 Rogue Survivor (Video Game) / int_c9aea8c8
comment
Armies Are Evil: Averted and then played straight. The National Guard deployments are acting in the survivor's favor, taking out the undead and homicidal gangs alike as they leave supply drops around the city. After Day 10, Black Ops start showing up, aiming to kill all of them. Also It is amazing that this trope is so prevalent that most people on hearing that Black Ops are involved will naturally be tipped off that they are killing all survivors once they arrive.

Artificial Brilliance: Although human NPCs still do stupid things on occasion (a police officer will happily trade away his only weapon for a single can of soup if he's hungry enough), they're still fairly intelligent, and the AI is steadily improving with each release. They will, for example, always try to ensure they are supplied with food, run away from an unwinnable fight, close doors and windows behind them, work in coordinated teams, and barricade the entrances to their chosen safehouses when they bed down for the night.

Wizard Needs Food Badly
 Rogue Survivor (Video Game) / int_ee828827
comment
Wizard Needs Food Badly: Even if you get enough equipment to fend off your attackers, starving to death is always a large threat. Rendered especially problematic because there's only a limited amount of food to go around and you're not the only person hunting for it. Once the army starts paradropping in care packages full of food the problem lessens, but a substantial portion of the city's population will likely starve to death before then (including the player character if you're not careful). An update also made it so that the zombies need to eat regularly to avoid rotting, too.
