7 Days to Die
« on: August 19, 2013, 09:28:45 pm »
not heard of this until today and downloaded a jarg copy of the alpha that i found floating about just to try it out, for those who haven't heard of it just think minecraft crossed with day z then throw in a bit of tower defence

you've got to scavenge for supplies and weapons but it also has a crafting system  like minecraft, unlike minecraft there are zombies about during the day but they move pretty slowly and are fairly easy to deal with even if you're not tooled up as long as there's not a massive mob of them, once it gets dark though they become faster and more aggressive so you need to get holed up somewhere safe and even then you're not 100% safe as they can smash through blocks

only thing i'm not keen on at the moment is there's no option to sleep at night, in my current save i'm holed up on a flat roof where the zombies can't get to me so it can be a bit of a drag waiting for daylight so i can clear the building and repair any damage they've done before going scavenging for supplies

it doesn't look great by today's standards but it's a lot of fun to play, building structures is a bit more complex than minecraft as you can't just stack blocks any old how, you need to make sure it's properly supported or it can just collapse plus you need to properly defend it otherwise the hoard will just smash it to pieces to get at you, there's just one map at the moment but i think the finished version will have a randomly generated world, there's also a world creator option in the menu but it's not working in the alpha, pvp should be good as well once it gets implemented
