It is still in EA, and people need to keep that in mind when purchasing it. So there will be a few bugs and many things that still need to be improved and content that will be entered into the game at a later stage.
But once you accept all of the mentioned above, then you are going to have a great time.
The game is great with tons of potential to be even better. The environment is stunning, with lush forests, grasslands and all kinds of different terrains. Once you get out of your orange prison uniform, camouflaging becomes essential in the game and boy does this game allow you to camouflage well with the thick vegetation.
Creepy zombies and all kinds of animals roam the wild, so hearing creepy sounds in a dark forest is regular occurrence in this game.
This is game tough though and not for the lazy and faint-hearted. Working hard to craft your tools to allow you to kill, chop up and cook zombies. And then once you had some Zombie steak and beer, you need to make sure that you bladder and stomach do not get too full… and if they are full then it is time to find a little bush close by.
Grouping up with friends is definitely the way to play this game, as looting military bases for guns, ammo and rations can be very tough.
I’ve read a description of this game as I’ve heard it mentioned a few times now.
What type of game is it exactly? I understand it has a very indepth crafting/survival element but also competing to be first off the island. Is it more battle royale or is it more a persistant crafting/survival game?
It is PUBG meets DayZ I would say.
The combat is very tactical, so you can’t just run and gun.
It is almost a Hunger Games kind of vibe.
The story behind it is prisoners getting dropped in this place and then it gets show on a TV program. So the aim is to get as many fame points as possible and get a ranking.
There are also events that take place in certain zones which give you more fame points.
For my liking it is wayyy to slow to watch on Twitch.
It is not rounds, or a quick game. Hence the survival part of the game.
As far as I know there might be seasons, but no idea how long each season will be.
You have to build a temporary shelter (used as a spawn point), and a crate to store your loot in.
So far it is just me and a bud. And we def need more people to join!
There are groups of like 10 guys working together, makes it very tough for all the smaller groups
