WindowsWindows $9.99 Early access

Polygone Trailer #1 (Steam Early Access, v0.3)

Overview

Polygone is a low-poly, highly visual take on the classic "Zombie Modes" of modern first-person shooters. Team up with friends to hold off endless hordes on a massive map, boarding up windows, buying new weapons and unlocking new areas as the waves get tougher.

More than 50 types of zombies and bosses will test your skills, and the arsenal runs from traditional rifles and launchers to futuristic lasers and plasma weapons. Early Access updates added maps such as The Church, The Data District and Trailer Park, new playable characters, six perks, perk machines you switch on by finding fuses, buy zones for ammo and health, traps, doors you open with points, a day/night cycle and the Overseer, who taunts players over loudspeakers.

Polygone is built in Unreal Engine and has been in Early Access on Steam for Windows since March 21, 2023, with single-player, online co-op and LAN co-op. It started on itch.io as Poly-gone, with pre-orders and a free single-player demo, before moving to Steam.
