Decimated

About this game

Decimated is a multiplayer third-person survival role-playing game, developed using Unreal Engine 5, and set in a persistent dystopian cyberpunk universe.

All players begin as human citizens and can develop their character into various classes through training and equipment. Law-abiding, trained citizens may join the ranks of cyber police to safeguard the global order.

A vast and hostile apocalyptic environment offers a plethora of challenges for any style of gameplay. Anyone can become a resource collector, a chauffeur, a medic, a mechanic, a smuggler, an outlaw, and much more. Players can compete against each other, or cooperate to explore, scavenge, trade, conquer territory, build bases, or complete missions for rewards. Aside from other players, enemies also include NPCs such as malfunctioning robots. The enormous map can be traversed by land, sea, and hover vehicles.

To survive, players must find food, water, and in some cases, oxygen. Injured players have to treat their wounds or risk bleeding to death. Treated patients may become addicted to medications, affecting their performance and judgment.

If a player dies, they will respawn with limited items but secure safes and safehouses will be available to store valuables and respawn from.

The backstory of Decimated

Decimated is set in 2187. Earth has been abandoned after hundreds of years of destructive climate change and catastrophic neglect of the environment by corporations and industry. Political and social unrest has left the old cities decimated and hostile to life. Civilization has collapsed and destroyed itself, yet a cyborg police force still wields control over the wastelands.

Only privileged first-class citizens were permitted onto the new world. The unworthy who were left behind – criminals, rebels, political dissidents, and the poor – scavenge in the forgotten cities of Earth, which have become overgrown with jungle, flooded by swamps, swallowed by sand, and frozen by ice.

Pollution and technological debris litter the environment, and survivors have set up shelter in destroyed skyscrapers, laboratories, abandoned metros, and crumbling freeways.

The world is inhabited by criminals, pirates, bounty hunters, drug lords, slavers, cannibals, victims of genetic experiments, and malfunctioning robots, all competing for resources and territory. The cops enforce a totalitarian authority even after society is in ruin, forcing humans to live in the wastelands.
