 The end is here. Life as you knew it has gone to hell after the mother of all zombie outbreaks. Now you and the few scattered survivors must band together to survive and  rebuild in a 3rd-person action game set in a dynamic open world.

 You choose where to make your stand, designing and fortifying your home base, performing daring raids for food and ammunition, and rescuing other playable survivors  with unique talents.

 The open, sandbox world develops in real-time, shaped by your actions, dynamically generating content based on your choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.

 

Like any RPG each survivor can be equipped. Here you have choice with  1 firearm, 1 hand to hand weapon, a backpack and space to carry stuff (even other weapons because your weapons can be damages when you use it).

You have action, stealth, roleplaying, and even some light strategy that brings out the simulation in survival-sim. Your choices have weight. Zombies are deadly and you can easely be swarmed by Z hordes…

If a door is locked, you can always try to shoulder your way in, but that makes more noise, which may draw more zombies. Same for crashing through windows. Characters can run, but that takes stamina that’s also depleted by physical attacks. Gunshots make an ungodly amount of noise, which attracts the undead, but getting in close is even more dangerous.

And….You cannot save the game by yourself. It will be done after you successfully finish a mission or if one of your controlled character dies…

And if one of your companion dies you can play another survivor.

I actually finished this video game and bought a DLC : State of Decay: Lifeline

I will tell you more about the game and the differences I found. But I already can say that I played with lots of enthusiasm to this DLC  🙂
