Description
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.

Campaign: The New Empire - Available now!

Lead the campaign under the orders of Quintus Crane, ruler of the New Empire, and reconquer the lands devastated by the infected.

  • 48 missions with more than 60 hours of gameplay.
  • Build fortified colonies to survive in infected territories
  • Destroy the swarms of infected with the Imperial Army.
  • Make your colonies evolve with more than 90 available technologies.
  • Explore the ancient human fortresses with your Hero.
  • Discover the story behind the apocalypse... how did the pandemic start?

Survival Mode

In this mode, a random world is generated with its own events, weather, geography, and infected population. You must build a successful colony that must survive for a specific period of time against the swarms of infected. It is a fast and ultra addictive game mode. We plan to release a challenge of the week where all players must play the same random map. The best scores will be published in a leaderboard.

Real Time with Pause

This is a real-time strategy game, but don’t get too nervous. You can pause the action to take the best strategic and tactical decisions.
In Pause Mode, you can place structures to build, give orders to your army, or consult all of the game’s information.
This game is all about strategy, not player performance or the player’s skill to memorize and quickly execute dozens of key commands. Pause the game and take all the time you need!

Build your Colony

Build dwellings and acquire food for the colonists. They will come to live and work for the colony.
Collect resources from the environment using various building structures. Upgrade buildings to make them more efficient.
Expand the energy distribution of the colony by placing Tesla Towers and build mills and power plants to feed the energy to your buildings.
Build walls, gates, towers, and structures to watch the surroundings. Don’t let the infected take over the colony!

Build an Army

What kind of people would want to combat the infected?
Only the maddest ones. Train and contract mercenaries to protect the colony. They demand their money and food, and you will have to listen to their awful comments, but these tormented heroes will be your best weapon to destroy the infected.
Every unit is unique and has their own skills and personality – discover them!

Thousands of Units on Screen

Yes! They are billions! The world is full of infected creatures… they roam, smell, and listen. Every one of them has their own AI. Make noise and they will come – kill some of them to access an oil deposit and hundred of them will come to investigate.
We have created our custom engine to handle hordes of thousands of the infected, up to 20,000 units in real time.
Do you think your colony is safe? Wait for the swarms of thousands of infected that are roaming the world. Sometimes your colony is in their path!

Prevent the Infection

If just one of the infected breaks into a building, all the colonies and workers inside will become infected. The infected workers will then run rabid to infect more buildings. Infections must be eradicated from the beginning, otherwise, it will grow exponentially becoming impossible to contain.

Beautiful 4K Graphics!

Prepare to enjoy these ultra high definition graphics. Our artists have created tons of art pieces: Beautiful buildings with their own animations, thousands of frames of animation to get the smoothest movements and everything with a crazy Steampunk and Victorian style!

Avoid no native mod support upgrade sux

Title says it all. Game was alot of fun for me, until a few campaign missions in i realized, that i cannot respec or even beable to prepare for future missions. The game has zero hand holding, and completely reminds me of C&C except at least with C&C each mission let you upgrade to a certain point, not restrict what you could unlock per mission. This game does that in the campaign. Oops, you bought the wrong tech, and beat a mission or two, to find out you need different tech? Tough, gotta either save scum, or backup the auto save to get around that. Massive headache right off the bat, campaign punishes you in a way unexpected, for not knowing simply because, you dont know. I shouldn't need to start from scratch in campaign when even on easy im missing vital "researched" tech tree skills which, are not obvious what so ever. That said, i'd avoid the game all together because attempts at encrypting saves, and making it extremely difficult to get modding working on the GOG build was purposefully done, to be super anti consumer, well besides the whole campaign just plain sucking due to the previously mentioned lack of knowledge about the map. If you like Trial by fire and a never ending do or die error scenario where, if you dont put research points into the right tree, screwing you later on down the line with say, hoard missions in campaign mode, this is your game. It will frusterate you, turning a 5min battle to 1-2hrs depending on how much tolerance you have for trying to "make due" with out that vital tech/research, unless your willing to re-slog through the entire campaign just to trial and error the right tech, which save scumming will help, but thats just... thats only good for as long as your patience holds out. All this said, its fun in survival, campaign is a reminder of C&C but with severe negatives, and major hoop jumping for getting any type of mods steam or otherwise working. Avoid unless you like hassle.
