Our take on Survival Nation
Rather than centering a single-player campaign, this survival RPG puts solo play alongside cooperative PvE and PvP. Its progression combines skill trees and weapon upgrades with food and water needs, while multiplayer choices range from exchanging supplies to taking loot from other survivors.
What is Survival Nation?
Survival Nation is an open-world VR RPG set after a zombie apocalypse.
Players scavenge for supplies, fight zombies, complete quests, and develop a survivor through three skill trees covering survival, combat, and physical endurance. Food can come from fishing, hunting, gathering, or searching abandoned buildings; players also craft items, upgrade weapons, and look for treasure using clues. Solo mode supports playing alone, while PvE lets players cooperate, trade supplies, and fight together. In PvP, players can choose to cooperate or attack other survivors for their loot. Activities also include metal-detecting and climbing. Food and water needs are part of staying alive, alongside exploration, combat, and character progression.
