I think that this game has potential, but there seems to be some kind of issue with communication I think. They are a Chinese studio, so maybe they don't read English comments. They do have a CM who does speak English, but honestly, if you read his/her communication on the discussions/forum, then you will realise that maybe it would have been better if they had none.

2 months ago they have added random generation of enemies anywhere on the map, while previously they would only spawn in designated locations. This doesn't sound too bad on its own, but the problem is that:

• Zombies don't have anything useful on them, so they are just a nuisance
  
• Bandits will ruin your day (according to others, I didn't play long enough for this to happen)

So, this addition doesn't improve player experience in any way. You can probably see a lot of negative reviews mentioning this issue, but in 2 months they have not added a setting to disable this. Curiously, among gameplay settings, you can turn off/on zombie wave attacks, with some additional customization. You would think that adding a toggle for those random spawns would be trivial, but here we are, with "mostly negative" recent reviews.

By the end of September there is supposed to be another update, so unless you see in the patchnotes any mention of being able to disable those random spawns, you can safely remove this game from your wishlist, because it will 100% die.

I have been debating on the game for a while. I saw a lot of reviews were mixed but I figured I might enjoy it. I was wrong. I bought it on sale and thought that $8 couldn't hurt. I was wrong about that too. I started the game and immediately was met with a critical error crash. Then when I get it going again I was so sad to see that the game had such a bad attack and shoot dynamic. The forging tools and scavenging is clunky but a good design that works in general made it ok. The worst part was the fighting, with guns even a head shot wasn't always guaranteed to finish a zombie, let alone with an axe to the brain needing several shots it allowed for being overtaken quickly. the overall mechanics were clunky i felt like my character even running 60 frames felt jerky and missing realistic movements. its just not great and free is about the only time you should get this game.

Every part of this game is bad. To have this kind of quality in 2025... It felt like I was playing a game that was half-finished in the 90s. I didn't like anything about it!

Honestly I have to say no for this game. While it's alright fun it's nothing special and with the speed of development being a snails pace and lack of optimisation... I'd say look elsewhere... literally anywhere else until the dev starts making this game at a faster speed.

Great, one of the best survival games out there

game is terrible, graphics are nothing like the screenshots, looks like a game from 2010.

I think they are headed in the right direction but in my opinion, it's not really playable and enjoyable yet. The user interface is clunky as best. The Single Player save game mechanics make ZERO sense. Whatever happened to saving a game, giving it a name, and then hitting save? Current interface doesn't make any sense. Map3, the beta map is SO dark inside buildings, even with the brightness turned all the way up. Melee weapons durability is ABYSMAL. Kill 4 zombies and your steel spear is ready to break. Base building is unnecessarily intricate and quite frankly, you darn near have to be a builder to figure it out. 10 minutes in to a game and they throw bandits at you that are, in my opinion way over powered so it becomes a dying simulator and then because the save game mechanics suck, you are are starting fresh with nothing. I see very little developer work in this but a lot of Unreal magic. Houses and building are not even close to scale. It's well on it's way to being another DayZ clone, which is fine, but I would not recommend paying for it TODAY. Wait a year and check back.

Sadly this game crashes and burns at launch. Doesn't seem to want to run on my pc at all.

here is a list of things good and bad:
GOOD:
lots of things to do, from exploring places to building houses.
you can choose your character by background and get extra bonus stats (well balanced: you get points by selecting for example a weak stomach and lose points by selecting extra strength). about the background: you can start of as an ex policemen for example. this gives you a weak gun and a bit of starter clothing.
BAD: (a lot)
unload flamethrower with a bit of fuel in it gives you a ♥♥♥♥ ton of new full reservoirs.
i clipped several times through the ground with my vehicle
vehicles are ginormous
loot is distributed weird (expect slightly more stone in a quarry than in a random town)
OVERALL:
If developed further it can become an awesome game. but for now, don't buy it.
