Now, the more damage you’ll do, the quicker it degrades.

Weapons degrade the more you use them, ammunition and guns are very scarce and cars can make a lot of noise to alert other zombies, this goes also for guns. You’ll have hatchets, hockey sticks, guns, … and cars to your disposal but be warned. You can use different things to defend yourself against those zombies. If the morale lowers, survivors will run away and you’ll be left out there alone! Take out zombie hordes one by one and don’t pull every zombie out there. Keeping your characters moral high, will eventually earn you a victory. Be careful as you go all out with your best character, since game characters can be removed from the game permanently, so will all your resources and attributes of that character vanish. You can play different characters just by switching between them during the game. Each character can level up their running, searching, sneaking, fighting, shooting. Your characters level up as you scout and perform different actions against zombies or other persons. You can find weapons, food, materials, … etc. The environment is also filled with abandoned places for you to scout and grab everything you can but make your decisions wisely as quick searching makes a lot of noise. For example: if you run, you’ll have to take a breather to get back your energy, you can’t swing your weapon constantly, the environment can hurt you and so on. All of these aspects combined with fatigue as you run or fight, makes the game a very realistic experience. It goes from recruiting new survivors, getting your supplies up and maintaining your relationship with everyone you’re confronted with. The main goal of the game is of course surviving, but this means in any way possible. This open- world zombie survival game has a very good role- playing setting as you switch between several characters. Once a game character dies, it’s permanent so you’ll better be prepared when you go out venturing in this dangerous world. Just get one thing straight, you don’t have superhuman surviving skills but you’re playing a real life person in a messed up world. There aren’t any “good” tutorials to start with, but once you start playing the game from time to time, you’ll notice most of the things are self- explanatory and you’re on your way. State of Decay brings the zombie survivor out of you in this unforgiving and yet rewarding open world zombie experience.
