Sam & JT's Top 5 Post-Apocalyptic Games

[@garryknox1614]

Great lists, I would add Outlive, it has a strong post apocalyptic theme and interesting worker placement mechanics. Thanks for your time in delivering engaging infotainment.

[@SamHealey6]

Thanks so much for being here, Garry! Outlive is a good one! I considered it for my list.

JTs last game definitely CROSSED THE LINE XD

[@Oaklestat]

Woohoo!! JT

[@nunorebelo1246]

You should have done two lists, one with post apocalyptic games and another one with zombie theme games, there's a lot to work with there, but nice list though. So happy to see my beloved Resi on the list 😊

Maximum Apocalypse is an underrated post apocalyptic themed game.

[@Oaklestat]

I've never played it. JT

The zombie apocalypse is doing some work in this top 10. Regarding Pandemic Legacy games: My order of preference is 0 > 1 > 2, but for this list: 2 is post apocalypse, 1 is mid apocalypse/trying to divert the apocalypse, and 0 is pre apocalypse. Thanks for letting me know about Resident Evil. I like the feel of Nemesis, so I'm interested to check out another game where I'm trying to avoid the enemies or kill a small number of them rather than trying to kill everything that moves.

I hope you like it. You'll have to let me know what you think. JT

well Walking Dead comic was prior to Board Game by more than a decade. The comic was released in October 2003 and Dead of Winter was released in 2014

[@SamHealey6]

I knew the comic book predated the game, I was wondering about the tv show specifically. Thanks for being here!

@@SamHealey6 the show started on Halloween 2010

Yes, Wasteland Express Delivery Service, I love seeing this on any list. Revive is a very good pic also. Agree with season 2 being post-apocalyptic, but I am surprised that neither of you completed season 0. I'm just saying that I think it was our most epic conclusion.

[@SamHealey6]

Time was our biggest hindrance for Season 0, Danny. Hopefully, it will get finished at some point!

[@raggededge68]

Gotta go with JT on the Pandemic Legacy pick! I actually prefer Season 2, which is definitely post-apocalyptic. Liked Season 2 better because there is more variety of things that come up throughout the game. Season 1 started to feel repetitive after about 7 or 8 months. Interesting that Sam found the gameplay in S2 frustrating-I loved the sense of discovery and the fresh, unique twist on the original mechanisms.

[@Oaklestat]

I wish I could figure out how to forget everything that happens in the pandemic Legacies, so I could play them again fresh. Thanks, JT

[@Buako111]

Anachrony anyone? It’s double post-apocalypse, since the game starts as post appcalypse and another one happens in middle of it, and there is post that event as well.

[@Oaklestat]

Good idea! JT

[@KabukiKid]

I'd agree with JT and would argue that Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 is apocalyptic, and Season 2 is post-apocalyptic. Those Pandemic Legacy games are still my favorite legacy experiences. :-) Love 'em!

[@Oaklestat]

High Five!!!

I think the whole point of Cinderella was she didn’t have to scrunch her toes for the shoe to fit 😂😂😂

[@Oaklestat]

Lol, so true. JT

[@SamHealey6]

I was referring to one of the ugly stepsisters that tried to put the slipper on…

[@tzgardner]

Fallout Shelter, Pandemic Season 1 and 2 would be my choices. I haven't played many games of this theme.

[@seniscram7958]

Sam, I really thought you would add Wasteland Express Delivery Service.

[@morgaknightgames]

In my collection, my favorites are Spire's End, Machina Arcana, Marvel Zombies, and Cosmic Frog. Nothing quite says post apocalypse more than giant space frogs consuming what's left of a planet's fragmented landmass to create a new one.😂 I'd argue that Resident Evil is an active apocalypse game since it's just the mansion rather than the whole world during the timeline of RE1. 😋 I consume a lot of post apocalypse media, but honestly don't have a lot of games with that theme so far.

[@Oaklestat]

It's a theme that works very well in board games.

Outlive and Last aurora ❤❤❤❤

[@koriakin]

Waste Knights!!!
