just because the world is in ruins
doesn’t mean you can’t have a great time
better keep this with me welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
post-apocalyptic games for this list we
ranked our favorite games set in
post-apocalyptic environments based on
how atmospheric the world is as well as
how well-crafted the story lore is as
usual one per franchise light on the
reading but it’s got some interesting
photos early that ain’t for kids whoa
number ten
I am alive haven’t in traffic
this game takes place after a
catastrophic event called fittingly
enough the event after which humanity
has been left in shambles your goal is
to return home and reunite with your
family and along the way you document
your journey with a handheld camcorder
which you can look through from time to
time to see the story from another
perspective
come on sweetie we gotta go the game’s
high points were when you got to
interact with other crazy survivors
taking them out with surprise machete
attacks number 9
stalker shadow of Chernobyl did you get
this photo from first-person shooters
and open-world games are two of our
favorite genres and this title combines
both not only that but the irradiated
zone where the game takes place is
hauntingly desolate and beautifully
designed unfortunately it’s not as
deserted as you’d like
because you’ll have to deal with enemies
like bloodsuckers Snorks pseudo giants
and more as intimidating as they are
most of them are pretty easy to take out
with a headshot or to number 8
Final Fantasy 6
this title is considered by many gamers
to be one of the best installments in
the legendary RPG series alongside seven
thanks in large part to the engaging
narrative and unforgettable characters
the world becomes post-apocalyptic late
in the game when the antagonist the evil
general Kafka destroys the world you
inhabit and reduces it to a wasteland
it’s up to you and your allies to
rebuild the planet and defeat kefka once
and for all
number seven wasteland this turn-based
RPG was one of the first in the genre
and set the bar high for years to come
taking place after nuclear war between
the US and the Soviet Union ravaged the
world you command the desert Rangers
through missions to rescue survivors
fight the bad guys and recruit new squad
members the gripping storytelling and
gorgeous retro graphics keep the action
nail-biting from start to finish number
six
rage I know you’ve got questions but we
gotta get movin in this game an asteroid
hitting the earth is only the start to
your troubles after emerging from a
bunker you’re left with a few other
remaining survivors to defend your homes
from bandits and mutants thankfully
you’ve got some awesome weapons to
protect yourself with like the wing
stick which is a boomerang designed to
take your enemy’s heads off if I were a
target drone I’d be nervous
amazingly fluid animation brings the
horrors of the apocalypse to life as
enemies scramble and climb over any and
all surfaces in order to eat your face
dare you think you can walk into our
house
take him to the kill number five the
walking dead
unlike the popular AMC series which
loosely follows Robert Kirkman’s graphic
novels this game is inspired by the
books but tells its own story
the result is an impressive haunting and
engaging experience that pushed the
limits of what many thought was possible
from a video game narrative I know you I
know what you are and I know what you do
the title forces you to make decisions
that heavily affect how the story plays
out and you’ll never forget the
relationship between Lee and Clementine
then found some stickers in a drawer and
I put them on my walkie hey sweet pea
that’s neat I’ll find you that man
number four Metro last light
plenty of games deal with a Russian as
an antagonist but it’s a nice change of
pace when you get to play as one move it
you’ll wind back in this FPS you play a
ranger who’s trying to find the single
surviving dark one a supernatural
species who can live on Moscow’s
irradiated surface a real benchmark for
power how species last lights amazing
visuals bring the apocalypse to life
better than any other game today also
Nazis future Nazis number three years of
war
this game was originally known for
introducing the industry to its amazing
cover system later adopted by countless
other franchises more than just a
gimmick this system pushed the idea that
you were a soldier hunkering for dear
life against brutal gunfire all that
aside its story is often forgotten on
the planet Sara mankind is on the brink
of extinction thanks to a raging war
against the subterranean locust war but
hey
you wanted a chance to use that chainsaw
bayonet of yours didn’t you number two
The Last of Us that is a stupid idea you
won’t know what’s worth in this game the
fungus Sambas or the hostile human
survivors as you travel across what’s
left of the US trying to transport a
young girl named Ellie both forces will
do everything they can to try to stop
you that’s a tough deal
but the Last of Us is more than just
your average zombie shooting gallery as
the stunning visuals beautifully crafted
environments and deep emotional
character arcs make for an unforgettable
experience
we’ve just been through hell we just did
before we get to our number one let’s
take a look at some honorable mentions
number one fallout three the threat of
the world ending has yielded some pretty
great games but none of them are as
incredible as this RPG as your father
disappears from the shelter known as
vault 101 you escape and track him down
through the radioactive ruins of
Washington DC along the way you’ll
encounter evil military leaders and
deadly mutated monsters all of which who
wants you dead
not crazy enough to go out there what
truly seals the package together is the
game’s 1950s art style parodying atomic
bomb survival at the time with its happy
times propaganda the Church of the
children of the atom is based on the
idea that each single atomic mass in all
of creation contains within it an entire
universe do you agree with our list
