Bandit camps also have some NPCs to rescue that comes in handy since they can be assigned to do some crafting for you. Unlike the zombies, they can be taken down without weapons, and raiding them is beneficial since they have some valuable crafted items or good ingredients. The first is the presence of bandit camps that house formidable enemies that can instantly kill you if they spot you. This is far from easy, but Mist Survival respects your time more than other titles would. Even death gives you the option of continuing with your run, albeit with fewer resources on hand or at your base. Your meters aren't as aggressive, so you can go on decent runs or go without eating for longer than expected. Shelter is easily found, and you even begin with a lean-to to call home. Luckily, the game makes things a little easier on you.
If you're a genre veteran, this is standard stuff, except that you need actual tools to gather or create some elements instead of merely punching things into existence. Aside from the zombies, you'll always have to contend with your own status meters, so eating food, drinking clean water, and sleeping in your own home base is a must if you want to survive for more than a day. Those things become useful as you encounter zombies that occupy buildings with valuable weapons and resources. Some of those things are basic materials for something bigger, while others are simple weapons, like wooden spears and shields. That means going around the environment scouring for ingredients and hoping you have the necessary tools to create something useful. Your job is to start anew and hope that things turn out better this time.įrom here, you'll partake in some of the expected elements of the genre. You're one of those survivors, and you're now homeless due to a zombie attack that devastated your old camp. There were a few who were immune to the effects of the mist, but they now live in a world where zombies run amok. The narrative is simple, even if it is reminiscent of horror classics like Stephen King's "The Fog." Three years ago, a mist started to blanket the Earth, and while most people died from it, others turned into zombies. That isn't the case here, however, as updates have been coming in at a steady clip, showing everyone that the genre is nowhere close to getting forgotten. Couple that with the fact that this is a genre that had a big surge in popularity a few years ago and is tapering off now, and you have a recipe for something you see often in Early Access: games with lots of promise that stop getting updates and are quietly turned into abandonware. As the work of mostly one person on a genre that is generally large and quite daunting in nature, the title seems too ambitious. Mist Survival actually released about a year ago on Steam Early Access.
