Developed by Smartly Dressed Games, Unturned is a survival video game, available for the Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems. It spent three years in development before fully releasing in 2017. The video game features survivors of a zombie apocalypse. Help rebuild society as one of the few who remains non-zombified through cooperation with other players or attempt it alone in single-player mode.
There is a loose story in Unturned that takes players around the globe to places like Russia, Washington, and even Hawaii. As a result, multiple maps provide unique experiences as well as opportunities to explore. With five officially developed worlds and one community created one, players easily stay busy finding new things. Travel by air, land, and sea to truly see the huge world. The community bursts with other user-created content also, as the developer encourages a true sandbox experience for all players.
Unturned Features
The brilliance of this video game lies in its completely destructible world. Everything is a barrier waiting to be broken. This is also a way to gain resources, which ties into an intuitive crafting system. Players create their own ways forward and survive in many different situations. Use existing shelter to survive the night or build something entirely new. Build a stronghold for many and create a community or fortify it against the whole world and live alone. Fend off giant hoards of zombies in combat, and repair bases when the monsters destroy them.
Survival takes on a new meaning in this game. Gather fruits and nuts for food. Craft weapons and learn how to take down meatier prey such as deer and rabbits. Build a farm to tend crops that grow and require actual care and attention. Seek out non-playable characters (or NPCs) in order to trade for potentially useful items like special weapons and crops. These NPCs also offer quests and can be lucrative for learning more about the world as well as making lasting truces within it. The play styles are practically endless because of the huge game world and all of the things to do.
In Summary
This video game is a free-to-play survival with high praise from critics and players alike. The official worlds are sprawling. The mod community is very active, in addition to having the full support of the developer. Play with almost any weapon and develop a unique play style. Sneak through groups of zombies to avoid being seen and fighting, or mow them down with tons of firearms. Blow them up with landmines or slice them to shreds using a sword. Either work as a team with other players in online modes or try to survive solo. There's something for every play style in this post-apocalyptic zombie world!
