Post-apocalyptic

Post-apocalyptic games are games that take place in an imagined future, following a cataclysmic event that causes the downfall of human civilization (or in some cases, extraterrestrial civilization). These events can include, but are not limited to, nuclear catastrophes, natural disasters, widespread disease, famine, devastating wars (including those against aliens or cyborgs), and holy judgement. The world depicted in post-apocalyptic games will typically feature survivors from the civilization that was destroyed, but they will be in small numbers and will often be depicted as no longer having access to technology, culture, and/or basic amenities.
