The verdict
A cheap, relaxing low-poly zombie survival sandbox with deep difficulty sliders and plenty of loot. Skip it if you need co-op, long-term content or a regularly updated game.
Great for
Solo players who want a chill, customizable zombie looter-survival sandbox at a low price
Main risk
Updates have stalled for over a year, so the thin, repetitive content may run out fast
What changed in the last 30 days
122 recent reviews
Recent negatives mostly say the dev has been silent for a year or more, and some report crashes or lost saves after the latest update. Fairly confident, based on many recent reviews.

Weak, exploitable AI and sound
