    Hallo Leute
    ich spiele das spiel schon seit Alpha 14 und was erkunden und Zombie " Tower Defence" angeht kenne ich nichts besseres. vor allem gibt es dafür geile mods wie Darkness Falls oder War of the Walkers natürlich auch andere..., die das spiel um einiges erweitern... Geiles Spiel

    It has major glitches that can be game breaking at times. For example you may lose some loot to a nasty evil glitch. However looking passed the glitches that will hopefully be fixed in the future, you can look forward to a lot of fun and scary times with friends and on your own. A must buy if you have not already!

If you need good graphics to enjoy game, then this one (at least for now) is not for you. Graphically and visually, the game is basic and spartan. However, the mechanics of the game is what makes this game fun and shine for me.

    I agree with many of the other reviews that this game is somewhat like State of Decay with a better crafting/survival mechanic or a better-looking FPS Minecraft. This is not Dead Rising - you won't be killing hordes of zombies solo. On the normal to harder difficulty modes, the zombies are deadly and more often than not running is the better option.

    On the most basic level and on starting, it is all about survival. You need water and you will need food. You need gather/hunt water/food and then materials to make a fire and boil the water and cook food. Don't do it and you get food poisoning/dysentery - which gives you moderate to severe penalties which increase over time and may kill you if left untreated long enough (for which you need to find medicine or make herbal remedies).

    All you need to do is survive. Anything beyond that is up to you. It is possible to do nothing but just hunt and look for water everyday. But the game offers a lot more than just survival. After getting the basic survival done, it's up to you where you want to take your game. A nomadic scavenger, a homesteading farmer/hunter, a defensive specialist holed up in your ever-improving fortress/bunker, an architect/landscaper - all up to you.

    Scavenging. Resources are plentiful in the game but you have to find them. Then you have to craft these raw resources into tools or secondary resources for crafting. This combines the thrill of treasure-hunting with the real need to find basic necessities. You can find canned food or spoilt food but more likely than not will need to hunt game for fresh meat (which if carried on your person will attract every nearby zombie). You can also farm and grow vegetables and plants for a more dependable food source. Eating and drinking well contribute to your overall wellness which gives you boosts and bonuses to your health/stamina - eating/drinking poorly will do the opposite. You will eventually need to start mining for ores (iron/lead, coal, etc.) which gives you the raw resources to craft advanced items such as guns and gun powder.

    Crafting in this game can be fun and some what intuitive. Some recipes you know from the start, some you have to find (or learn from books you find). A stick, some plant fibres and a sharpened rock will give you an axe. That axe will help you cut down a tree for logs which you can use to make building materials or burn in the fire. Logs can be crafted into planks which can be crafted into boxes or building frames. A crossbow is an early must for hunting - sticks and plant fibres do very nicely. Sticks, sharpened rocks and feathers make bolts. There are many recipes and many ingenious uses to your by-products.

    Forting up is essential. When night comes, the slow lumbering zombies that you could easily outrun or take out one by one become feral - they now run, horde/zerg up and will generally annihilate you in the dark. If you're out in the open at night, you are the walking dead. Find a house and turn it into a fort. Dig into the ground for an underground bunker. The horde can easily take out a structure, they can mindless zerg through a mountain or a hill. They destroy everything in their path. Dig ditches lined with sharpened stakes, make walls, tunnel deep down into the earth and into bedrock. Do what you have to to survive.

    Environment. Almost every 'block' or structure in the game world can be destroyed. There is also a basic physics of sort - i.e. every thing has mass and structures can only take up to a certain load. Too much and everything comes crashing down. Insufficient support (or if key foundations get destroyed by zombies) and your fort/roof could come crashing down on you. Mining for ores? - Mine too deep without providing enough support and it will cave in either injuring or killing you.

    The musical score and the in-game ambience music/sounds are simple but convey mood effectively.

    A lot of game play can also be moded for personal tastes. Difficulty modes, resource respawn timer, zombie respawn timer, private or public games, co-op or pvp.

    What this game offers is a lot of possibilities. And I find it pretty damn good fun. Highly recommended for those who enjoy the survival/crafting/zombie type genres.    … Expand

    I play the game since Alpha 5 via Steam. I also played Minecraft a lot before. No on alpha status 8.8 the game become more and more what the developers had promised. A bit of RPG, survival, crafting, tower defence makes a very interesting mixture of genres in one game. The developers publish a update every month. The fastest programmer team i ever seen on kickstarter.

I'm leaving this review because I have played the game for years and have 1500 hours invested and am still having fun. That shoudn't be possible. So despite its flaws, 7 Days to Die scratches an itch no other current title can scratch.

    After whopping 10 years spent in Steam’s Early Access, 7 Days to Die still feels unfinished, which makes it quite difficult to evaluate. My reason tells me to tear this game apart for tons of bugs and pretty much non-existent optimization, but my heart wants to give it a high rating. After all, I spent over a hundred hours in it and had fun for most of that time.

    7 Days to Die, in my opinion, is dated in a lot of ways. Some of the mechanics feel unnecessarily tedious, the game doesn’t look incredible, and the engine is undoubtedly on its last legs. In other ways, however, the game is revolutionary, featuring a core mechanic loop that I am shocked no other games have replicated and a surprising amount of player freedom in its gameplay. If nothing else, 7 Days to Die will quickly become the next Stardew Valley or Rogue, inspiring a variety of new games and becoming the forefather of its own genre.
