A free-to-play, top-down tactical shooter game, Return Alive casts players in the role of a survivor in an apocalyptic world where they must fight for resources, technology, and energy in the wilderness. The game offers players a variety of modes including battlegrounds and matches among others. In each mode, players will collect weapons and items, enhancing stats as they go along. They’ll also collect a Battlesuit that changes their appearance in addition to improving their stats. Return Alive allows players to select their own skill effects as they progress. This, combined with equipment options allows players to customize their playstyle. The game’s matchmaking is designed so that players should expect to be paired with opponents equal to or slightly higher than their own skill level.
