Games Like Dead Age 2 (2026)

Shared: Base Building, Permadeath

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.

Shared: Base Building

Crash a plane, lose your son, then spend 30+ hours building spike traps and slowly losing your mind to cannibals. Solo or with up to 8 friends online, this one earns its Metacritic 83.

Shared: Turn-Based Combat

97% positive across 844k Steam reviews, a Metacritic 96, and it still somehow undersells itself. If you have any affection for D&D or narrative RPGs, clear your calendar.

Shared: Permadeath

Survival horror that treats your death as a foregone conclusion and dares you to postpone it as long as possible. The depth here will outlast most RPGs you own.

Shared: Zombie Survival

Parkour-driven zombie RPG set in a crumbling open world where your faction choices reshape the city. The Deluxe Edition bundles cosmetic extras and a story DLC on top.
