They Are Billions: Survival Guide

Home » They Are Billions » Guides » They Are Billions: Survival Guide They Are Billions is a flawed game in many ways: the unit pathfinding is broken, the campaign is a sloppy mess, and the voice acting is one cringefest after another. Despite its shortcomings though, They Are Billions is fantastically satisfying and addictive, and I found myself unable to stop playing it over the past several weeks.  Surviving the harsh environment in They Are Billions is incredibly challenging though, even for RTS veterans, which may deter new players from giving this game a fair chance. One moment things will go swimmingly and the next a wave of zombies arrives and infects your entire colony, leaving you to start all over since the game offers no reload option. Even as an experienced player, I’ve had games where a single zombie wandered in through a hole in my defenses and cost me the entire game, leaving me rocking back and forth in the corner. This guide is meant to be used in the Survival mode since that is where this game’s heart and soul lies. Please, whatever you do, avoid the campaign like the plague, it is unbalanced to the point of being broken and will not give you any enjoyment whatsoever. They Are Billions can be purchased on Humble Bundle and Steam.
