Currently in Beta it has amazing features for any patient veteran player that seeks a challenge.

DownSide

Not kind to brand new players.
Once you understand what your doing it can be abit too easy in regards to getting weapons/items and money.
Money is far too easy to come by once your into the game abit.

UpSide

The graphics are good.
There is alot of types of weapons and armor also vanity items.

You can build your own town and reaserch things while holding off raiders who discovered you and you can also buy places inside towns to set up shop/hq.

You start as a no body and with ALOT of effort you can work your way up to being a powerful warrior that with a weapon or even ur bare hands destroys armys.

Or pick a start where your alreaddy strong, are about to start a town, hunting cannibals, have a pack bull, a pet attack dog ect.

Just be warned your not speical in any way in this world your just another person as far as it's concerned so a mistake can get your chars killed or worse eaten alive.


You can play how you want as a:
trader,
bounty hunter,
warrior,
Town builder,
Smith,
Crafter ect.

It has a True sandbox feel.

The game is very moddable and adjustable so you can play how you want.

The game punishs rash actions and rewards the patient thinker thus some will whine and complain about the game being too hard or impossible.

100-300 hours of content in beta.

All in all a game that is brilliant for it's cost.

Now first lets get the positive out of the way.
The games graphics are fine for what it is.
The story can be funny sometimes.
The co-op challenges can be fun with a friend.

Now lets get to the real review where we look at what they promised and what they delivered.
The game is an ok size however it's extreamly limited in size for it's price.

If you forced yourself to go slow you would take maybe 6 hours to finish this game.

Another problem is the content the guns,melee weps, mutants ect is all really limiting.
Some might disagree with me there but think about it theres maybe 8 guns, 3 chainsaws , 6 melee weps and 1 ammoless total op wep.

Now for my Largest disapointment with this game it's promise "experience for zombie game veterans"

There is NOTHING veteran about this game it hands everything to you on a silver platter.
There's sleep areas at night prebuilt impervise to any zombie attack that you only need to clear out once.

Night creatures are as deadly as a new born kitten.
Ammo is WAY too common i had 2,000 ammo constantly.

There should never be a weapon that can destroy armys without some sort of price "i'm looking at you boomarang"
You should not point out on the map where the players have got to go.

The crafting tells you what's possible.....
The "hardest" mutant is the easyest thing to beat with a handgun.

Food is too easy to aquire.
Water is Way too easy to aquire.

Items respawn.....
Changing difficulty only changes what damage they hit.......

And i could go on with this list for acouple more pages.
All in all this game was a disapointment and broke it's promises.

Before you say i did not play long enough know that i defeated the game twice and defeated half the challenges with friends.
I played through twice to see if anything at all changed i really had to force myself to with a dieing hope that something hard or fun would of been added.

Update#
Online co-op is lag and bug filled and has serious annoyances that i had hoped they might have removed.
The difficulty and enemie numbers are the same.
You and the other player are forced to share the screen meaning you can't move far from eachother.
The match making system is pathetic as it's auto finding where you select options and hope that someone else has the same options but a diffrent character.
All in all no real change to the game still not worth the money.
