ZIC: Survival

Game looks like a minimal effort cash grab with very thin mechanics and no real balancing. The availability of wood rapidly becomes the blocking factor because it's used both as a crafting ingredient and the fuel to power most of the machines. Want to cook your raw meat? 1 piece of wood = 1 cooked steak. Want to make an iron ingot from iron ore? 1 piece of wood = 1 ingot. Want to repair your mining tool? 4 ingots and 4 wood... except since you need to mine the iron ore AND the wood AND use some of the wood to convert the iron ore into ingots. And then on top of that, every time you repair your mining tool it's max durability goes down, so you actually get to spend less and less time doing anything but maintaining your tools. At this point, you might notice the store tab that lets you buy resources like wood and iron for some sort of in-game meta-currency and realize that this is just another bullshit Skinner box style game designed specifically to frustrate you in this way...

Okay, so... I didn't expect much going in and so far in the first hour I haven't been too surprised. That's not to say that I'm not enjoying the game but it's also nothing revolutionary and there are some grammatical errors. Having said that, this game is reasonably priced for what it is and for that I will give it a thumbs up. The crafting works, the combat works (even if it is a little dull) and it seems like the map is fairly significant in size. I don't see this being something that I play for hundreds of hours but for $5... I'll come back from time to time to smash a few zombie skulls. Please note that these are only first impressions and as I play more then my review will likely change. I only have an hour in and I wanted to post this to let others know that it does launch and it does function but for me it's locked at 30 FPS with seemingly no way to change it and that is just absolute trash... but seriously, it's worth the asking price so just give it a go.

this game needs some serious bug fixes and improvements. i know, it's only 1 $, but it's not early access game, and amount of bugs(which are easy to find and fix) is huge. can't recommend the game it's in current state. controls are fine, mechanics fine too. zoom is too much, can i zoom out somehow?

The controls make this game nearly unplayable but what makes it worse is it takes no skill literally just hold down lmb and let got to kill zombies. The story is okay but not worth playing. Play Unturned for a way better free survival game with way better fps.

Fun little survival zombie game with little price.

There a to much Bugs. Game frezze, game crash, controls freeze bla bla bla

I don't recommend this has about the same polish as any other asset flip game very jim sterling bait. the player character slides along like he's being forced to go where you have him go and i think it has microtransactions don't but it unless you like shit games

needs way more work done on it too make it a functional game.

The game is a pretty fun little survival game. There's building, crafting, a research tree and questing so there's always something to do. There are a decent amount of bugs: Random items with only Russian names or descriptions, grammatical errors in the dialog, character freezing after you pick a lock (which I've found can be fixed by opening the build menu and then closing it when your character can't move). I still like the game, even with the bugs, and since it was so cheap the bugs were almost expected. If those small things were fixed, this game has a ton of potential.

Game is alright, but the grammar drove me away..
