About Nomad
Survive a post-apocalyptic island by hunting, crafting, and building fortified bases while battling zombies and other players across a massive 4km x 4km world. Scavenge for resources, farm crops, drive vehicles, and customize your base with electricity and upgrades, all while deciding whether to be a helpful survivor or a ruthless raider.

Nomad is a sandbox survival game. Hunt, craft, kill and survive! Find food, drink, weapons, ammo and medical supplies - or craft them! Build a base to protect yourself but also remember to protect the base from raiding players.
Set years after an apocalypse, the world is over grown, broken and abandoned. Explore the massive 4km x 4km island to find gear and loot to aid in your adventures. Remember, survival is key. Hunt for food and drink across the island, or simply kill others for it. Scavenge for medical items to heal broken bones and deep wounds.

Find weapons and ammo and hunt down other players. Be that bloodthirsty bandito, or be a hero helping others - it's entirely up to you.
Blood Moons will happen every 7 in-game days. Blood Moons are special as zombies have more health, spawn in greater numbers and can run faster. The Reaper will also spawn at Safe Zones which you can trade him Lost Souls for special in-game items. Gather Lost Souls by looting graves around the world. 
Find, refuel and drive a range of vehicles to help traverse the island. Protect and store vehicles behind garage doors to keep them away from pesky raiders.
Create your own bases by chopping down trees for wood. First create your foundation and snap walls, windows, doorways and ceilings to it. Add a door and lock it. Place a workbench so that other players cannot build in the surrounding area. Make sure your workbench is hidden as other players can use it. Upgrade your wooden base to stone, metal and improved metal, by going out and mining with a pickaxe.
Craft Generators that can power your base to add mining drills, electric lights, hydroponics farming stations, oil pumps, water pumps and many more. Bring your base to life with the power of electricity.
Find and collect packet of seeds around the world then use them to make your very own farm. Farming brings any benefits so make sure they are well protected.
Safe Zone Quests bring a new level of PvE content to Nomad. Complete over 30 quests that will make you travel all across the island to discover history and lore.
We all have to sleep sometime. In Nomad, disconnected players will sleep on the floor so make sure you are in a safe and protected area when logging off.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Nomad is a survival sandbox that players appreciate for its open-ended gameplay and emphasis on resource management and exploration, though opinions are sharply divided on its overall quality. While some praise it as a solid experience with engaging mechanics, others find it lacking in fun factor, and concerns about a dwindling player base and server activity are mentioned. Players seem most interested in the game during sales rather than at full price.
Nomad is a survival sandbox from Diminished Studios that embraces a simple but effective premise: survive, adapt, and keep moving. Rather than relying on a heavily scripted narrative, the game places players into a harsh environment where every resource matters and every decision contributes to their long-term survival. The title's focus on player freedom immediately stands out, offering an experience that feels less like an adventure with a defined destination and more like a personal story shaped through exploration and persistence. The game's biggest strength lies in its commitment to open-ended gameplay. Players are encouraged to gather resources, construct tools, and establish a foothold in a world that rarely offers comfort. Exploration is central to the experience, and there is a satisfying sense of discovery that comes from venturing into unfamiliar territory in search of materials or opportunities. The survival mechanics are approachable without being overly simplistic, creating a loop that rewards preparation and careful planning. Every new item crafted or upgrade unlocked feels like meaningful progress, reinforcing the idea that survival is earned rather than handed to …2 found this helpful
