About This Game

Charcoal is a 4X strategy game set in the ruins of a post‑apocalyptic UK. You begin as a lone survivor picking through the wreckage of cities and countryside, scraping together whatever gear, vehicles, clothing, and weapons you can find. As you explore, you’ll gather new survivors, build settlements in the bones of the old world, and try to carve out something resembling a future.

Research forgotten technology to make life less miserable. Expand your territory, manage your people, and make hard choices about whether to chase shiny old tech or invest in the buildings that keep your settlement alive. Every decision pushes your faction toward prosperity… or toward becoming yet another footnote in the ashes.

Win this new world by building a thriving, populous civilization, or by wiping every other survivor faction off the map.

Key features of Charcoal

  • 10 playable factions with greatly different play styles. From biker gangs who live by raiding, to cannibals who live by… doing other things.

  • An economy to manage. Ensure you have enough rations to feed a growing population, get coal and petrol to supply your armies.

  • Several map types, including a map of the UK.

  • Nukes! End the world again if you want. Nothing matters anymore.
