- Players who do not want to deal with medicines, predators, or aggressive infected creatures
Our take on NightZ
The broad survival setup trades a tightly focused action loop for several forms of upkeep. Medicine, food, resources, crafting, and base work all occupy space alongside encounters with infected creatures and predators.
What is NightZ?
Set several months after a global epidemic, NightZ places survivors infected with a virus among aggressive infected creatures and predators.
Survival involves using medicines, building a base, growing food, hunting, cooking, collecting resources, and crafting. The game supports solo play and cooperation with other players. Characters have different characteristics, while weapons and transport options include cars and tanks. Players must manage survival activities while facing threats in the post-epidemic setting.
