About game

MACHINES HAVE GAINED A SOUL. AND IT'S BLACK.

199X. The world didn't collapse from nuclear war, but from an electronics malfunction. Refrigerators, televisions, and cars went berserk and started hunting humans.

You are the Wanderer. You only have an old crowbar and a garage. Your goal is to reach the Citadel and shut down the Main Server.

GAME FEATURES:

🛠️ CRAFTING FROM SCRAP: Collect scrap metal to craft armor from tires, a welder's helmet, or an exoskeleton.

🃏 CARD-BASED COMBAT: Over 30 unique ability cards. Hit with a crowbar, throw rebar, use an RPG-7, or go into full defense mode.

🏭 POST-SOVIET ATMOSPHERE: Fight bosses like the Housing Authority, wild Ladas, and walking excavators against a backdrop of panel buildings and factories.

💀 HARDCORE ROGUELIKE.

Can you survive this winter and find the source of the Signal?

How to play

Welcome to the The Rusty 90s: The Era of Machines! Your task is to survive in a world where technology has gone mad and reach the Main Server.

🕹️ SURVIVAL BASICS:

Choose your path: On the global map, look for available locations (factories, junkyards). Each zone awaits you with raids against enemies and bosses.

Fight with cards: Combat is turn-based. Each turn you have Energy. Spend it to play Attack (red), Defense (blue), or Enhancement cards.

Watch the enemy: The enemy's intention (Attack, Block, or Special action) is shown above their head. React accordingly! If the enemy hits hard, put up a shield.

Collect loot: For victories, you receive scrap metal, parts, and new cards. Don't forget to collect your rewards!

Craft and upgrade: Return to the Shelter (🏠 button). At the workbench, create better equipment from the scrap you find – it will give you more health, energy, and strength.
