🏙️ LOST MEGALOPOLIS: TACTICAL SURVIVAL

A Next-Gen Post-Apocalyptic Tactical Warfare & Megacity Exploration Modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge)

📖 OVERVIEW

Lost Megalopolis transforms the traditional Minecraft experience into an intense, action-packed post-apocalyptic tactical shooter. Step into a world where human civilization has fallen, leaving behind massive ruined concrete jungles, overgrown skyscrapers, and desolate urban ruins.

Whether playing solo or teaming up with a squad in multiplayer, your objective is simple: scavenge for supplies, engineer advanced military technology, control armored vehicles and drones, and survive against relentless, intelligent undead forces lurking around every corner.

💥 KEY FEATURES & GAMEPLAY MECHANICS
