7 Days to Die

[GMT 389]

So I just stumbled over this "little" (as in massive) Kickstarter project called 7 Days to Die.

In Short, it's your everyday zombie-appocalypse-survival game multiplied by RPG-ish elements times Minecraft plus a bit of a topping of other games like FPS and tower defense and also multiplayer.

You can say the basic idea is a minecraft-like game with all there is to it, from exploring over building to crafting (5x5 patterns but luckily including recipes from the getgo), but with a nice addition: physics. No floating blocks.

oh speaking of blocks, it's not blocks but a more realistic (yet comic) approach to the environment.

as for the world, it's a near-future post-WW3 wasteland called Navizgane, somewhere in Arizona when playing the story mode, but you can also create your own world in creative mode.

 

then come the RPG skills like you would expect it from an RPG. several class-trees you can follow up on, improving your skills further on the related field.

 

and of course the zombies. nuff said. best thing to do is barricade you're hideout the classic tower-defense way with traps over traps over traps.

 

Here's the Kickstarter promotional video and I must say, for an early alpha version I really really really like what I see and definitely gonna follow the development as I'm looking forward to just something like that.
