About

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Fan Edition is a turn-based tactical game layered with real-time exploration and stealth. You lead a band of deformed humanoids navigating a ruined Earth stripped of humans, balancing resource management, base-building, and combat. Missions split between careful, deliberate battles and open-ended scavenging through crumbling cities overtaken by nature. Dialogue and skill checks shape relationships and outcomes, but survival hinges on positioning and timing. The Fan Edition bundles the base game with digital extras like a soundtrack, artbook, and a pen-and-paper RPG rulebook. While its 2018 release drew mixed reviews for uneven pacing, fans praise its atmospheric world and creative mutant designs. The Zone feels lived-in and dangerous, with every crumbling building hiding threats or loot. Combat requires patience, rewarding players who adapt to terrain and enemy patterns. With a 72% on Metacritic, it’s a niche pick for strategy lovers who don’t mind a rough edges.

Storyline

Of course the world ends. It was just a question of time. Extreme climate change, global economic crisis, a lethal pandemic, and increasing tension between old and new superpowers. For the first time since 1945 nuclear weapons were used in armed conflict. Mushroom clouds rose from east to west before the dust settled. Now it’s over and the Earth is still. Nature has invaded ruined cities. Wind sweeps through empty streets, turned into graveyards. The humans are all gone. Scavenging through the remains of civilization are the Mutants, deformed humanoids and animals alike, searching for salvation or just something to eat. To survive, you and your companions must venture out to explore the Zone. Maybe one day you will find the Eden of legends, the ancients’ haven in the middle of hell. That’s where truth awaits, the stories say. Maybe you will find your answers there. Then again, maybe it’s all bullshit.
