June 2025
At first, the game might feel a bit boring, but once you get to the part where you start building your house and setting up defenses, it gets super addictive. Planning zombie pathing is really fun, but the real highlight is the electricity system it's insanely detailed. You can build and stack batteries just like in real life, and they even have indicators! The wind turbines and solar panels are also really well-designed. Honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy the power management part this much. Cons: -The combat feels clunky. -Too many buildings look the same, like they were made from a single template. -Looting is horribly boring and not satisfying at all. -Story navigation is confusing—sometimes the map markers are completely wrong, which is frustrating. -The story is decent, not bad, but way too generic. Final Thoughts: It’s definitely worth buying but only on sale.

Okay so I do like the game, it's a great zombie survival crafter.. my issue with the game is that it is clearly not finished, it's buggy and glitchy. The VA for the NPC's is terrible Ai slop. The devs need to come back and do some polishing. Otherwise the game is just... fine.

April 2025
(All my hours are solo gameplay) The game is not abandonware, it’s finished, people seem to be having a tough time grasping this concept. This game can absolutely be child’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, you’ll quickly discover what works and what doesn’t. Tip: Height is your friend just make sure you have proper supports. There are more issues that can be mentioned, however, I’d like to bring up my main point: Why am I only mentioning these issue now? Honestly, it’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 NotD’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. There’s also nothing more humbling than when you “unlock” 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 don’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.
