Powerless

About

Powerless places you in a zombie-infested world where brute force isn't the solution. As a survivor, you scavenge resources, build shelters, and manage a group of characters with distinct skills. The gameplay mixes turn-based strategy with survival elements, you’ll allocate supplies, assign tasks, and decide who takes risks to keep everyone alive. Combat isn’t the focus; instead, you negotiate with factions, set traps, and use the environment to avoid direct confrontations. Every choice impacts your group’s morale and chances of long-term survival. The game stands out for its focus on planning and ethics. You might have to sacrifice one person to save others or decide which alliances to trust. It received mixed reviews on Steam, with some praising its depth and others finding the learning curve steep. Released in 2018, it’s available on PC, Mac, and Linux. While not a AAA title, it offers a different take on the zombie genre, emphasizing brains over bullets.
