Description
Escape from Stalingrad Z is a solo/coop campaign game of tactical combat which is set in the horrific zombie plague of World War Two. The year is 1942 and the city is Stalingrad. Your survivors are veteran soldiers fighting to stave off the zombie hordes in a war-torn wasteland while finding a way to escape from the decimated city. They must work together to find the best path, each scenario giving them options on which way to go next. The player's choices determine the fate of their heroes.
The game plays out over a series of linked scenarios that form a campaign. Each previous scenario in the Campaign will affect the start of the next, creating an ongoing story.

Quotes (from this video)
- Yeah, dude. I was uh on on a side note, I was uh watching an old interview with the woman that did uh Who Wants to be a Bill a millionaire. Like there was Regis who did it, then the woman who took over after him. She was interviewing Tim Curry uh and was talking about how like he's very seductive about like with like his being a villain and stuff that it's like, man, if you were the devil and you were talking to me, it's like I I'd go with you. And I was listening to him talk and I was like, damn, he really does have a sexy voice.
- I I pretty much take what PubMed gives me and I'm like, well, that's the algorithm.
- Um, and the and the more of those citizens you have on top of each other, um, the more powerful their action gets.
- So, it has that follow mechanism. Okay. So, which I always like kind of because it keeps everybody engaged, right?
- This game's kind of an anomaly nowadays just because of the amount of content you get for the price you pay.
- This is a nonverbal cooperative uh game kind of like the crew but it's not tricktaking where you as a group are trying to diffuse wires um based off of the mission.
- This game is very very challenging. It is. Uh but it's so quick to play that once you lose, you're like, 'Okay, reset.'
- It's It's kind of an anomaly, but it's a really really good one. One to definitely break out during a game day.

Quotes (from this video)
- We're just redoing this because 5 years is when we did this last time and after looking at my list then and look at my list now, there was been a metric ton of changes.
- Um so that changes a lot of it. Plus, companies are almost bullied into having a solo mode.
- So, these are going to be like games I play by myself, whether it's, you know, two-handed or or strictly solo games.
- It's a narrative game. Uh and uh you are running through you're like these these uh it's there's a lot of espionage like you're a spy.
- The app doesn't like take away from the game. It's not an app game where you also have cards. It's Yeah, it's a it's a perfect blend with that app driven.
- This has that Marvel Champions feel where you have your alter ego side.
- This one is just a really good uh 40k um
