A high-octane road trip through a besieged world during a demon-infested zombie apocalypse. Rescue survivors, form a caravan, call in various support drops or air strikes, loot random structures for supplies or craft them yourself, modify common vehicles into post-apocalyptic machines of war.
The core gameplay revolves around an intense, high-octane road trip through a demon-infested, post-apocalyptic world. Players must navigate their way north, covering 2,000 kilometers to reach the distant safe haven of "Salvation" while facing a constant barrage of threats.
Battles can be frantic, as players encounter a wide variety of enemies, from standard zombie hordes to towering skeletal monstrosities, giant spiders, flaming demonic entities, and more. Players must quickly react to these diverse threats and utilize an array of weapons, armor, and other upgrades to customize their cars, trucks, and other vehicles, turning them into deadly "machines of war" for navigating the dangerous roads.
The game features a dynamic day/night cycle that affects the intensity of the threats. At night, the enemies become more aggressive and dangerous, forcing players to find safe places to hunker down and rest before venturing out again during the day. The threat level also increases over time, leading to more frequent and powerful enemy encounters.
Scavenging supplies and resources is crucial for survival. Players can loot buildings, structures, and fallen enemies for materials like wood, metal, and electronics, which they can then use to craft a wide variety of items, from weapons and armor to vehicle parts and defensive structures.
As players rescue survivors, they can add them to their "caravan" - a persistent group that provides passive benefits and unlocks additional support options, such as the ability to call in air strikes or deploy turrets to aid in the fight against the apocalyptic forces.
The game features procedurally generated environments, enemy placements, and events, ensuring a high degree of replayability. Each run presents a unique challenge, with the player having to adapt their strategies and tactics to the changing conditions on the road.
"Endgame" also supports local co-op gameplay, allowing a second player to join the action and assist the driver, providing opportunities for coordinated combat.
