How it feels

A bleak, desperate struggle where every fight feels visceral and deadly, and you must use cunning and resourcefulness to outlast a world already lost to infection.

What players say

Players who enjoy 7 Days to Die find a lot to like here, frequently comparing the two. They praise the responsive developers who fix bugs and add features quickly, and highlight the satisfying combat and looting. The early access state is acknowledged, with some calling it janky while others say it already feels more polished than 7D2D did at a similar stage.
