'They Are Billions' Comes to Steam Early Access Next Week - Screens

They Are Billions is a strategy game where you build human colonies to survive in a post-apocalyptic planet where billions of the infected try to annihilate the few remaining living humans.

They Are Billions is a strategy game in a distant future about building and managing human colonies after a zombie apocalypse destroyed almost all of human kind. Now there are only a few thousand humans left alive that must struggle to survive under the threat of the infection. Billions of infected roam around the world in massive swarms seeking the last living human colonies

They Are Billions mixes a world where the zombie apocalypse has taken over the planet and throws it into a Steampunk / Victorian setting.

Prevent the infection from spreading into your colony and its inhabitants. Once a building is infected, the workers turn, rabidly spreading the infection further. And just when you think it is safe, thousands more come in hordes to wipe out your colony - each with individualized AI.


Numantian Games will be bringing They Are Billions to Steam Early Access on December 12, 2017 for $24.99 with a 10% release discount.

This release will include the Survival Mode which offers a range of difficulty settings, four unique maps, and hours of hardcore, unforgiving entertainment. 

In Survival Mode, a random world is generated with its own population of infected, geography, weather and events. To win, the colony must survive a set amount of days (80, 100, 120, or 150).

When They Are Billions officially launches, a full Campaign Mode will be included, which is currently in development.

The object of the Campaign Mode is to build successful colonies that are connected to each other by a railway network. Little by little, as you reconquest the map from the Infected, the origin story of where the infection came from is revealed.
Between the two modes, gamers can expect limitless hours of challenging and rewarding gameplay.

Only a small population of humans remain alive. Grow your colony and fight through the billions of zombies left on the planet.

They Are Billions Game Features:

  • Real-time Strategy with Pause Mode: In Pause Mode you can build your structures and setup commands for your army. This game is about strategy, not quick key commands.
  • Oversee a Colony: Build, Fight, Defend, and Gather Resources for your colony. Don’t let the infected take over!
  • Build an Army: Train and contract mercenaries to protect your colony and destroy the infected - unique mercenaries with their own set of skills and personalities!
  • Thousands of Units on the Screen: Defeat billions of zombies. The custom engine can handle up to 20,000 of the infected in real time.
  • 4K Graphics: Steampunk and Victorian Style Graphics. Dozens of units with more than 1,500 frames of animation.

They Are Billions will be available as digital download through Steam in 2018
