Day R Survival vs How to Survive 2
Day R Survival
Day R Survival is a survival-themed, adventure-RPG set in a post-nuclear USSR that may bring to mind a slightly shallower (in terms of storyline) but more modern-looking version of old-school Fallout games. The game boasts of being a hardcore game as you will actually need to take into account various character-killing factors, including diseases or an infected wound, in addition to contending with the detrimental effects caused by radiation, hunger and thirst.There is a pretty in-depth crafting system as well, allowing you to make weapons, clothes and even transport (for faster traveling) by simply scavenging and collecting the parts you need. Naturally, being a "hot" zone, there are plenty of mutated creatures that you'll need to fight against, be it alone or with your friends via the game's co-op mode.
Day R Survival may not be a "Last Day on Earth"-type survival game but if you're looking for a game that may bring back some pangs of nostalgia for old Fallout games, this might just be the game to play.
How to Survive 2
How to Survive 2 is the sequel to what was a really well-received zombie-survival game. The gameplay here is pretty similar to the original where you'll be farming the environment for resources and return to your base to craft new items and upgrade existing stuff. You can also furnish your base and improve it so as to withstand stronger attacks from roaming zombie hordes. The game even provides a much deeper crafting system, allowing you to create over hundreds of items.However, as many players have noted, the game has changed direction and is designed for multiplayer play, and considering that the game doesn't really have a lot of players now, it can admittedly get kind of boring. This can easily be fixed by adding some random events into the game, but apparently, this is not going to happen.
If you get the game on a discounted price, How to Survive is definitely a good buy. The game is perfect for fans of the original and although it can be quite repetitive at times, if you like that kind of thing, you'll enjoy this game for sure.
