  • The game has a solid and enjoyable core gameplay loop with potential to be a great co-op zombie survival experience.
  • The developer is active, listens to player feedback, and regularly updates the game addressing bugs and issues.
  • Features like base building, large inventory storage, skill trees, and vehicles (boats and aircraft) add depth and variety.
  • The game is currently plagued with many bugs including hit detection issues, enemy spawning glitches, and freezing mechanics.
  • Food, water, and cold survival systems are frustratingly punishing early on, causing frequent deaths and progress loss.
  • Combat, especially ranged and melee, feels awkward and unbalanced, with some enemies being difficult to hit or overwhelmingly strong.

    Users note that the current graphics are simplistic and primarily placeholders, with new artwork planned by the developer. While comparable to others in the genre, the visuals could benefit from improvements to enhance the overall experience.

    • “But, after speaking with the dev he confirmed that they were only placeholders until new artwork is made.”
    • “Graphics and playstyle are simplistic but could use some changes.”

  • gameplay

    The gameplay is generally smooth and engaging, offering a fun core loop that encourages extended play sessions. However, some elements like zombie behaviors and saving mechanics are lacking or incomplete, and the helicopter controls feel somewhat unusual.

    • “The gameplay feels super smooth, and the core loop is just pure fun to sink hours into.”
    • “I'd personally prefer more human-like sounds from the zombies and have them walk when not aggroed, and it appears the saving mechanics haven't been implemented yet.”
    • “Aviation physics: the helicopter mechanics feel a bit... special?”
    • “I'd personally prefer more human-like sounds from the zombies and have them walk when not aggroed. It also appears that the saving mechanics haven't been implemented yet.”
    • “Aviation physics: the helicopter mechanics feel a bit off.”

  • story

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is hindered by frustrating early gameplay, with players unable to progress past difficult zombies and limited customization options, leading to a stalled experience during initial quests.
