Post-apocalyptic indie game Overland launches next month

Ready like there's no tomorrow.

Indie developer Finji has announced the release date for its post-apocalyptic turn-based tactics game, Overland - it'll arrive on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch on 19th September.

Overland has you take control of a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic America, scavenging for supplies, fending off bug-like creatures, and rescuing travellers (and more importantly, an excellent doggo) as you make your way across the country.

The gameplay seems like it's all about timing - grab what supplies you can, save some strangers, and get back to your car before you get overrun.

Every level and new character you find is randomly generated to make each road trip different, and you'll need to make some hard choices about who to save and where to go next.

As well as the aforementioned consoles, Overland will be available for PC on Steam, GOG and Itch.io when it releases next month.
