The verdict
A free, simple 2D zombie scavenging MMO that is fun solo or with friends, but it has been abandoned since 2018 and runs out of content. Skip it if you want updates or an endgame.
Great for
Casual players who enjoy grinding, crafting and scavenging with friends, on a low-end PC and for free
Main risk
The game is abandoned with no updates, so content runs out and bugs stay unfixed
What players love
