April 2025
(All my hours are solo gameplay) The game is not abandonware, itā€™s finished, people seem to be having a tough time grasping this concept. This game can absolutely be childā€™s play if you play it on easier settings, but trust me when I say this, playing it on the hardest difficulty settings is far more fun and rewarding (but not you iron man). Without a doubt, this game is a grind-fest. You will be grinding for resources for an ungodly amount of time. You will have a tough time grasping the concept behind building your base. You will save scum to recover 1-2hrs back because you spent to much time Lolly gagging rather than resource farming for your base build and finally, you will restart multiple runs until you hit your flow state. It is a punishing game, not in terms of technical ability, but in terms of your time management capabilities. Edit (20250426): I feel I should add a bit more to this, as there are certainly issues that need to be discussed. One of the most glaring issues, in my eyes, is the games polish. There is a plethora of bugs & glitches you will run into, however, none of them negatively impacted in a way that impeded progress or discouraged me from playing. Next up would be the story, certainly not one of the most compelling narratives I have seen, but I feel that having it is certainly better than not having it at all. Without it, I feel that there would be no sense of progress, which I find is absolutely essential in survival games. One other issue would be the animations. Once again, certainly not the best, but also, not the worst. My problem with them, is that some of the animations are misleading and attacks will occur earlier/later than (I believe) is intended, making dodging attacks difficult. AI pathing for the hordes can also be a bit finicky, but once you spend enough time experimenting with base builds, youā€™ll quickly discover what works and what doesnā€™t. Tip: Height is your friend just make sure you have proper supports. There are more issues that can be mentioned, however, Iā€™d like to bring up my main point: Why am I only mentioning these issue now? Honestly, itā€™s because I can overlook the flaws and focus on what the devs did right: Game Mechanics Survival, Exploration, Action, RPG, Crafting, Base-building/Tower-defense In my opinion, only one other game has done this formula correctly (7DtD) and even then, I prefer NotDā€™s approach. Truly, this game will surprise you. It takes effort to get there, but once you do, there is nothing more satisfying than eviscerating countless zeds at night with your traps. Or the feeling when you complete a insane melee build that tears up zeds like nothing. Thereā€™s also nothing more humbling than when you ā€œunlockā€ a new area, and then get slapped around by stronger zeds, but as a result, loot better gear. Which brings me back full circle to the games difficulty, turn that **** all the way up, if you donā€™t make this game difficult on yourself, you are not going to enjoy the moments that you should once you get good enough.

Ok.. only 5 hrs in but I am a survival game enthusiast and have played them all. If you like 7 Days to Die, you will love this game 100%. Instead of a horde every 7 days its every night. There is a sh** ton of crafting recipes from building, crafting benches, weapons, tools, decoraions, ext.. THE ONLY THING is that I heard the devs are done updating this game which is heartbreaking and really made me not want to even buy the game. DEVS PLEASE ALLOW MODDING! This is will save this game! *UPDATE @ 80+hours* EVERYONE GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND EMAIL THEM A SUGGESTION TO ALLOW MODDING!!!!! MAKE THIS GAME GREATER!!!!

I really love the game, I can recommend it easily but I've noticed there hasn't been any updates from the devs in a while. Jackto, if you guys stop work on it, will you please add modding support of some kind first? I'm sure people could add some cool stuff to help keep it fun for a long time.

I've just finished the main story with 169 hours of gameplay, and I must say, this game is incredible. Although it feels a bit unusual at the beginning, this actually works in its favor, as the game introduces unique mechanics that differ from traditional survival games. These mechanics might not be immediately clear, but they add a refreshing twist to the genre. The daily horde attacks, while intimidating at first, quickly become a highlight of the game. The trap mechanics make each night an exhilarating experience. The map is vast, offering plenty of loot, numerous mobs, world bosses, main story bosses, a variety of weapons, and fantastic upgrade mechanics. I highly recommend this game. It's super fun and definitely worth your time.

the jank here is absolutely amazing, rivaling both 7 Days to Die and SCUM in its awkward combat, poor localization, glitchy physics, technical bugs (make sure to try true fullscreen if, like me, you got inexplicably locked into a resolution literally half of your monitor's), and confused voice actors trying their absolute best to deliver lines that make Bethesda npc barks seem well conceived - with even less voice direction than Bethesda deigns to give. but like 7 Days and SCUM this game has a lot of charm and depth in its funkiness, even if i'm not totally sure yet it'll have the staying power of those games. mod support would help but i'm not sure how feasible that is in Unreal. it's fun though and certainly worth a few dozen hours rambling around, beating zombies into literal pulp and making Saw-meets-Rube-Goldberg death traps.
