About This Game

Overview

Rush Hour of the Dead is a roguelite action game where everyday people - firefighters, electricians, bank tellers, and other "ordinary jobs" - take up their skills and weapons to survive an overwhelming zombie horde. Combine jobs and abilities, read the ever-changing weather, and build your own strategy for survival.

Key Features

  • Countless Builds from "Job × Ability" Combinations
    Choose from 20+ unique jobs and 60+ abilities to create your own build. Unleash a firefighter's hose to wash away crowds of enemies, or channel an electrician's current to stun a wide area - every job brings its own flavor to the fight.

  • Weather That Changes Every Run
    Rain, storms, dense fog — the weather shifts randomly from run to run. Electrical abilities spread further in the rain, and other weather-ability synergies can turn the tide in your favor if you know how to read and use them. Even with the same job and ability setup, the optimal playstyle changes with the weather, adding a whole extra layer of depth to your builds.

  • 10+ Weapons and Situational Combat
    Weapons aren't just handed to you. Take down powerful mid-bosses or track down caches hidden across the map to get your hands on them. Level up on the spot with experience gained from fallen zombies, switch weapons to match the situation, and adapt your approach as the horde grows.

  • Rescue Civilians and Random Events
    While fighting off the horde, you can also take on rescue missions for civilians stranded in the chaos. Saving them puts you at risk yourself — but clearing these events and other random incidents rewards you with powerful bonuses that can turn a losing fight around.
