What is Junk Survivor?
Junk Survivor is a zombie survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Players scavenge for resources, weapons, tools, and armor while exploring a map and building a base with traps and defensive positions. Crafting includes weapons, clothing, tools, and vehicles; recipes can be learned from blueprints found in the world or by activating skills. Skill choices affect gameplay and survival. Players can repair and upgrade vehicles, trade goods at camps, grow gardens, hunt wilderness animals, and raise farm animals. Different zombie types have different stats. Online multiplayer takes place on persistent player-run servers. The vendor also identifies world expansion, electricity, quests, and mod packs as planned features, rather than current ones.
