Zombies, Mutants, Cyborgs, and of course, Demon Hitler.

In the post-apocalyptic genre, there is no shortage of enemies who are hell-bent on your destruction.

Fans of survival games from Resident Evil to Fallout know the score: the end of the world is nigh and there's only one option: find a weapon, and get to survivin' it.

While there are many to choose from in the post-apocalyptic genre, each game offers it's own unique twist, charm, and something to come away with that will stick with you passed the end credits.

15. Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch)

Encased gameplay

Enter the world of The Dome, where humanity seeks to use ancient artifacts to achieve new heights...or so they'd have you believe.

Outside is an apocalyptic wasteland filled with deadly anomalies, zombie-like mutants, and warring factions.

Encased is a narrative-driven RPG influenced partially by the Fallout series, where the faction you choose will give you access to unique dialogue choices and ultimately, how you play.

Stay armed! Even though the inside of the dome is portrayed to be a haven, all is not what it seems, and guns are a hot commodity!

In this turn-based RPG, you must strategize your moves wisely to make the most out of every turn.

Which faction will you join? The security faction, for example, will give you unique access to otherwise restricted space but make it more difficult to gain information from criminals.

14. Remnant: From the Ashes (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

Players of the first Dying Light will enjoy the parkour-style combat mechanics being improved upon with new dodge mechanics and gliding capabilities.

Not just mindless zombies: Making decisions in Dying Light 2 is one of the ways you can influence and change the outcome of the narrative.

In your face combat: It’s not just the undead, rival factions will also be out for your head; modify weapons to give yourself the (serrated) edge!

This game takes on a very different angle of the survival horror genre with its own twist of wit, vulgarity and dark humor.

Hank and Larry are partners in...well, not crime per se, but definitely nothing good for their would-be marks. Use team-work to influence others into doing your bidding!

What happens when the Axis powers of WWII lose the war but refuse to die? They become Nazi zombies of course!

In the 4th part to the Zombie Army Trilogy, Zombie Hitler has finally been defeated but the horde continues its rampage.

7. Project Resistance PS4, PC, XBOX ONE (Included with Resident Evil 3)

Project Resistance gameplay

Set in Racoon City, Project Resistance merges multiplayer gaming with escape-room horror.

In this Resident Evil spin-off, play as one of four survivors to navigate a booby-trapped and zombie-infested area and find the way out.

Or, play as the fifth character, the insidious mastermind who tries to prevent the survivors from escaping by placing traps, weaponized cameras, and taking direct control of zombies! Who will survive in this deadly game?

6. Back 4 Blood - TBA 2020 | PS4,PC,XBOX ONE

Back 4 Blood gameplay/trailer

Ever since the infamous Left 4 Dead dropped over a decade ago, new zombie games have been spawning faster than...well, zombies.

I’d say this one is no different, but the fact that it’s from the same developers behind Left 4 Dead, it might just be.

With a release date slated for late 2020, possibly 2021, Back 4 Blood is teased to be the spiritual successor of Left 4 Dead with all the co-op zombie-horde blasting you have come to expect, plus new features to improve upon the already great original.

(Left for Dead) With little shown of Back 4 Blood, it is widely assumed/speculated that it will both look and play similarly to Left 4 Dead.

(Left for dead) Stick together as a squad to blast your way through the undead hordes.

(Left for dead) Will the cast of the Left 4 Dead series make a return in Back 4 Blood? Only time will tell by the end of 2020 (hopefully).

5. Synced: Off-Planet - 2020 | PC

Synced: Off-Planet gameplay

Taking a new twist on Survival horror, Synced: Off-Planet isn’t PVE or PVP, it’s both.

Turning to technology for survival as humans have always done, in this post-apocalyptic sci-fi shooter, technology has gone horribly wrong and humans have become cybernetic zombie-like monsters.

In order to survive, you must work together with a band of fellow humans to gather parts, repair your ship, and escape planet earth.

But there are only enough resources for one group to escape...and you’re not the only one who wants out.

Use futuristic guns and explosives against waves of enemies; remember your enemies run on electricity so EMP’s are a great addition to any arsenal!

You’re not the only one trying to escape! Hold off technological zombies, sync with the escape ship, and fight off rival teams trying to do the same!

Up close and personal: These enemies have no qualms about getting up in your face! Keep them at bay using anything and everything at your disposal!

4. The Black Masses - TBA | PC

The Black Masses gameplay

Another twist in the guns-V-zombie universe is The Black Masses: an open world co-op RPG set in a fantasy world. A medieval population on an island has had their minds usurped by a mysterious force called the “black mass”.

Use swords, spells, crossbows, and anything else you can get your hands on, be prepared to run, jump, and fight your way through hundreds of thousands of enemies as you discover the source of the curse.

Clever wordplay aside “The Black Masses” looks to be a fun and unique take on the zombie apocalypse genre.

Knight in shining armor? This might look like a chivalrous knight, but don’t be fooled: the only thing that helmet is hiding is a zombie visage.

Hordes upon hordes: with a huge island to explore, you must make your way through swathes of zombies, but don’t worry, as you become more powerful you’ll soon be cutting them down like weeds.

Town centers and other areas where humans once congregated and lived are the most dangerous, with sometimes thousands infesting one place.

3. BEYOND DEATH - 2020 | PC

BEYOND DEATH gameplay

Scavenge, build, survive, repeat. In what looks to be one of the most massively open-world survival-horrors to date, you must learn to survive in a world of living dead while discovering not just what happened to the rest of humanity, but if there is any cure.

This sandbox RPG not only lets you explore a massive open world, but also use anything and everything to put together new tools to survive, fix existing equipment, even build your own shelter.

Will you have what it takes to put your knowledge and tools to work and survive long enough to discover the cause of the outbreak?

Aim well! While not possessing the best graphics, the physics engine coupled with realistic aiming physics makes shooting the undead as fun as it is believable.

Don’t leave any door left unopened; you never know when there may be something of use somewhere. Keep that flashlight handy and get ready to scavenge.

Find out what happened in this once-quiet rural community; build a shelter to stay in and come out to scavenge day by day while avoiding the swarms as much as possible.

2. Undying - TBA 2020 | PC

Undying gameplay/trailer

Other than the usual undead threat, Undying shows you that there’s more to survival than aiming for the head.
