Project Zomboid vs Survival Island: Evolve
Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid takes the post-apocalyptic zombie survival genre to the next level with one of the most realistic gameplay to date. After all, surviving isn't just blowing the heads off zombies or finding food - your mental health is as equally important! In many ways, the game feels a lot like Don't Starve when it comes to the more hardcore gameplay, though its persistent and ever-growing game map can be liken to that of Minecraft while its stats-based progression is somewhat similar to the old Runescape. There are so many skills you can level up, and which one you'd like to focus on is entirely up to you. Of course, you can customize your character's looks as well.Aside from the common Sandbox and Survival modes, the game even has fun and imaginative Challenge scenarios and action-packed "Last Stand" mode which frankly plays out a lot like Serious Sam albeit in isometric view.
Featuring a unique pixel-like visuals and an isomeric perspective, Project Zomboid is a really promising early access game that fans of survival games would really enjoy. It's full of content, be it exploring or crafting, and it's tough enough to keep you hooked.
Survival Island: Evolve
Survival Island: Evolve is a different sort but "work-in-progress" survival game that may not look like much but is pretty well-made. In this game, you'll need to mine for resources; craft a variety of items; hunt various beasts, both large and small, as well as build your very own base. There are plenty of stuff for you to scavenge too by simply exploring every corner of the island you're stranded on. The game also supports co-operative gameplay along with a single player mode.However, the game seems to have a rather odd theme. It's prehistoric in some way since there are dinosaurs and yet the other animals that you can hunt in the game seem to be rather modern-looking (in terms of evolution).
That said, Survival Island: Evolve is a pretty good mobile version of a prehistoric survival game that fills a niche of demands and as such, the game has enjoyed a sizeable number of installs on Google Play. The game is only available on Android.
