Numantian Games announces They Are Billions, a strategy game set during one of those zombie apocalypses that break out so often these days. This takes the concept into a Steampunk/Victorian setting, so perhaps the outbreak is caused by experiments with electricity. And while you don't actually encounter the billions of undead from the title, word is the game will feature thousands of zombies on screen at once. The game's Steam page is online, as is the official website, which offers this trailer with a look at what to expect. Here's word:

Numantian Games, independent game developer of Lords of Xulima, is proud to announce the upcoming strategy game, They Are Billions, coming to PC in 2017.

They Are Billions mixes a world where the zombie apocalypse has taken over the planet and throws it into a Steampunk / Victorian setting.

Prevent the infection from spreading into your colony and its inhabitants. Once a building is infected, the workers turn, rabidly spreading the infection further. And just when you think it is safe, thousands more come in hordes to wipe out your colony - each with individualized AI.

They Are Billions Game Features:

• Real-time Strategy with Pause Mode: In Pause Mode you can build your structures and setup commands for your army. This game is about strategy, not quick key commands.
• Oversee a Colony: Build, Fight, Defend, and Gather Resources for your colony. Don’t let the infected take over!
• Build an Army: Train and contract mercenaries to protect your colony and destroy the infected - unique mercenaries with their own set of skills and personalities!
• Thousands of Units on the Screen: Defeat billions of zombies. The custom engine can handle up to 20,000 of the infected in real time.
• 4K Graphics: Steampunk and Victorian Style Graphics. Dozens of units with more than 1,500 frames of animation.

Only a small population of humans remain alive. Grow your colony and fight through the billions of zombies left on the planet.
