How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition vs Urban Dead
How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition
How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition is a zombie-survival RPG that is quite the underappreciated gem among other games of the same genre. Featuring a rare (at least within the genre) isometric-like view of the world much like in Diablo, this game will have you rummaging through anything that may hide vital resources you'll need, ranging from food and water to a variety of crafting materials, in order to survive. You'll need to build a shelter for yourself as well just to have a safe and protected space free of both zombies and other natural threats.However, unlike most survival games, How to Survive features a hack-and-slash, twin-stick shooter-styled gameplay, which frankly explains why they opted for an isometric view rather than the more immersive first- or third-person perspective. The game even contains a skill tree for you to invest points in, and insanely in-depth crafting system, and an overall most satisfying game experience.
If you love the graphical and gameplay style of Last Day on Earth: Survival and yet are looking for a PC game equivalent that doesn't have any IAPs, How to Survive is definitely a game you'll want to check out. It is miles better than what any free-to-play survival game can be!
Urban Dead
Urban Dead is a mainly text-based MMO game set in a post-apocalyptic city that you can play straight from your browser. Assume the role as an urban survivor trapped in a quarantined city just trying to get by. However, unlike most games, Urban Dead is an MMO and as such, you'll encounter other players as you wander from place to place hoping to scavenge something - anything - that might help you. These players can be friendly or hostile (though, it's more often the case the latter).You can even set up a center of operations, so to speak, by clearing a place out and lock the place down. Other players might try to break into your base though, so it might be best to recruit a few trustworthy players to help you maintain your base and keep it as well as everything you hoard in it safe from any looters. Of course, there are also zombies that will attack your base and you, if you are unlucky enough to bump into one or an entire horde.
Urban Dead is a quite different text-based game admittedly, but it is still very addictive to play. It might be best to play with friends though due to how its base building feature is structured and well, there is always safety in numbers.
