I play it slow and cozy. No hoards, no base attacks. Just fighting in the villages and randomly in the woods. Base building and subsistence farming. A break from the real, hectic world.

Great Low budget survival game. Has all the core ingredients to keep you hooked for 100s of hours. Frequently updated and positive changes are always made. This being one of the first survival games I played will always be one I come back too. Loads of stuff to craft and the Bi homes are a great addition. The wildlife is fascinating and hunting crocs makes it a treat to play. Dev has done an awesome job and the infected are what EA games should aspire to be.

I like this game but to be honest, it gets very boring after a while. Pros : * Beautiful environment * It's optimized * Big map * Good building system with a lot of different building pieces. Cons : * The lack of content * No co-op * It's way too grindy * Very janky combat system

ok so the game is good youcan craft fight and do all the other normal stuff. all the buildings seem very generic so every place looks pretty much the same. the ai enemies are quick to seek you out. ive not played for a couple of month now as i got bored. would be good if you could build a full working community improve the looks and designs of enemy possibly add some fresh stuff into game

Great survival game. Very challenging, Best part of this game though is how responsive the developer is to the community. Haven't seen that since Banished.
