The game is in early development but it is very very promising. Honestly first thing i felt when i started playing was a rush of nostalgia from when i was a kid and played unturned. I love it!

This is absolute jank. I cannot understand the concept behind the game or why this was released in the state it is in. I went in as a solo player to try this since I got it for Father's Day. Here are my experiences with the game. No audio controls. Zombies scream the entire time you are punching them and you can't turn it down. No save option. You die? You start over. No tutorial of any kind. Where to go, what to do, nothing. Cannot find crafting mats other than stones. I fished up wood from the river but you won't find any laying under trees like you do in other games of this kind. Good luck finding the metal you need for the axe, I never saw any. NPC behavior makes no sense. Zombies respond to activity in a set area not LOS on the player. I can be 5 feet from group of zombies and they stand there looking at me, but if I walk into the area they are assigned, they immediately bum rush me. So you cannot lure them away and leave them in another place while you loot. I managed to kill some zombies by cheesing them to the end of the tether they are on and punching them. You have to punch one zombie 12 times to kill it. It punches you 3 times and you die. WTF, seriously? Can't …

fun and the dev keeps updating

Game is okay i dont see it being anything more as there are many projects like this that get unfinished. The assets are minimal and are mostly free packs. No to say there has not been any thought or work put into the game as it has some unique things. The Ui is basic and has no work put into it. No keybind editing No sound sliders Very basic character creation No information when highlighting items. Very basic AI that will aggro and spawn periodically around you giving no immersion Poor loot just beer and beer and fishing rods. I cant recommend this at £8.50 it is no way near worth it as there are way better games out there to buy in this category. This for me is a £2.99 to £3.99 Alpha game that even though it is in positive its got a long way to go to hit that £8.50 mark.

As of 8/9/26, far from perfect, but I think it's headed in a good direction. The beginner experience is painful, but once I had the basics, it's a fairly decent gaming experience. In case it's not on the to-do list (some humble requests, if you will): please add tutorial/tool-tips, prevent drowning while at the water surface (and have it drain health instead of instant death), allow proper game pausing when solo, add ambient zombie sounds (so they don't sneak up on you so easily), make zombie pain sounds (especially female ones) less obnoxious, more controls customization, and audio controls.

This is a great survival game with strong DayZ vibes. Even in early access, the weapons feel smooth and satisfying to use. The gameplay is challenging and keeps you engaged in the action. I'm really looking forward to future updates.
