This game is basically like a mix between Minecraft, Day Z, and Left 4 Dead. It has a lot of crafting elements, you can mine, gather resources, and build a base.

Then there is the multiplayer side of things. Creating a private server is very easy, unlike Day Z and a lot of other open world post-apocalypse games out there. You simply select multiplayer when creating a new world, then join through the server browser, using a service such as Hamachi to get your friend's IPv4 address to enter in.

Finally, remember how I mentioned Left 4 Dead? There are a variety of special mobs, depending on what biome you're in. Now, I won't spoil any of that, I'm sure that you can find out on your own. . . However, I will warn you of one little thing. The zombie dogs? Yeah, those will be involved by one way or another with the vast majority of your deaths early game.

To conclude it all, I cannot advocate this game enough. It is absolutely awesome, and as far as I'm concerned, is the future of open world, post-apocalyptic games. Be warned, this game is still in alpha, so expect bugs, glitches and hilarious rag doll physics. However, the Dev team is extremely interactive, and in general showing what early access is supposed to be. They get rid of bugs and glitches as soon as possible, are interactive with the community, and are not putting profit in front of the quality of the end product. Buy this game, get some friends, play it together, and enjoy yourself. You will not regret your purchase.
