Decision: Red Daze is an isometric action RPG with a unique take on survival and base-building mechanics. You play as a lowly survivor who inhabits the Dust Bowl - a place riddled with mutated creatures affected by a mysterious phenomenon known as the Red Daze. Your mission is to build a settlement that's strong enough to keep these dangerous creatures at bay. You can assign soldiers to defend your base while you're out there scouring the world for much-needed resources.
Developer FlyAnvil released the game's first major patch, which brought a ton of cool and convenient features. One of the most notable things in this patch is that you can now set hotkeys for all gameplay-related actions in Decision: Red Daze. On top of that, there's a new option that lets you access a list of all the items and resources your squad members have in one convenient place! This is a huge quality-of-life feature because you no longer have to open your squad's individual inventories just to find a specific item.
To help you deal with the enemy, Update 1 also introduced mines and shields! Set mines that explode once the enemy comes too close, while shields are useful for mitigating damage.
You can read the other notable features in Update 1 below:

- Added a functionality to change keyboard bindings.
Squad
- Quick Resource Distribution: added options to place resources in the Shared Squad Inventory, distributing them evenly across all squad members, and an ability to quickly stash loot from every squad member's inventory into the warehouse.
