Explore the post-apocalyptic ruins of Basingstoke, a besieged English town where reanimated undead and ferocious alien monsters roam! Sneak through the smouldering streets and buildings, scavenge as you go, and craft equipment to help you in your mission. Can you escape from Basingstoke?

    Scavenge and craft!
    Use stealth to sneak, weapons to attack, or if things get a bit much, hide in a wheelie bin. But be careful: one bite and you'll be ripped apart to become a tasty snack for the hordes of undead monsters! Violence is your last resort; sneaking, skullduggery, and ambush are your best tactics!

    Unlockable Characters!
    As you progress you'll unlock new characters. Start as a Tourist and capture those special moments with your selfie stick, or play as the Thief and use your locksmith gadget to crack security panels and safes. Each character has specialist equipment, unique crafting recipes... and hats!

    Procedural Generation!
    Welcome to Basingstoke’s levels are a mix of hand-crafted and procedurally-generated features. Enjoy the many attractions that Basingstoke has to offer: quaff a swift half in the Red Lion, enjoy a stroll around the Underground station, or take an unforgettable tour of the local museum. No two games are quite the same!

    Campaign Mode!
    A tense, stealthy campaign across 12 epic levels, starting at OmniCorp HQ and across the ruins of Basingstoke to the M3 Services near Woking. Pick a character, then head out into the wilds using stealth, cunning, and an armful of sausage rolls to outwit the malevolent zombified citizens of Basingstoke!    … Expand

    Welcome To Basingstoke is a fun, little roguelike action zombie game. The campaign is short but each level offers plenty of replayability and ways to approach. Stealth is great in the game but so is the combat option. Aside from the auto-aim system which can throw you off and lead to a frustrating death, everything is near perfect. Zombies able to kill with one hit leads to a lot of intense, scary moments so the best need to use all their skills to survive. Horde mode is a welcome addition also, especially for those who want to shoot zombies and break records.

    Welcome to Basingstoke is a daft post apocalyptic rogue-like that’s ostensibly set in the north Hampshire town, though it’s just so dark. As in difficult to see. The only time you can play reliably is at night. Never mind that Basingstoke is fifty miles from London, it has tube stations. Given the devs are from London, you’d assume a little familiarity with that. In-game tracking for class unlocks is a bit inconsistent too, as well as the stealth melee kills trophy being broken at the time of writing.
