Why you might like it

  • A persistent open-world zombie survival MMO with real faction warfare (Nova Guard vs. Spartan Phalanx).
  • Deep survival systems (hunger, thirst, temperature, per-limb damage) add weight to every decision.
  • Base building and crafting give long-term goals beyond simply surviving zombie encounters.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Development has been slow for years under a single solo developer, with long gaps between updates.
  • The Steam page itself flags long stretches without updates, so treat any timeline claims skeptically.
  • As an Early Access survival MMO, expect an unfinished, changing experience rather than a polished release.
