The verdict
A cheap, janky Minecraft-with-guns survival game that works mainly as nostalgia and co-op fun with friends. Skip it if you want depth, polish or stable performance.
Great for
Xbox 360 veterans and groups of friends wanting a cheap, chaotic zombie-and-dragon romp
Main risk
Shallow, buggy and crash-prone, with little to do after a few hours, especially solo
What players love
Fun with friends and co-op
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
