I picked this one up on Saturday, since it was on sale for £2.99. It had previously been on my wishlist, since it features local co-op.

Not a bad little game from my first play with it. Isometric (Diablo-like) view, decent enough to look at and with a good sense of humour. Gameplay is a hybrid Action-RPG/Survival/Crafting type of game.

There looks to be 4 main islands in the game, which you can hop between when you fix boats etc. and explore. It has a hunger, thirst and fatigue system that works all together with the crafting. Crafting in this is actually quite good. I have made myself a handmade gun that shoots scrap metal (think Flak-Cannon) out of various materials I found. I also crafted a bow and awrows, and even some "fish and chips". Ehem. Like I said, this is a humurous game. As soon as you hear one of the fellow survivor "Kovac" reciting his "Survival Manual", you will know what you are in for.

Similary to 7 Days to Die, night time is a difficult time to be out and about wondering without sufficient supplies, since you get a new type of fast zombie at night, that can rip you to shreds in an instant. Campfires, torches and flashlights work quite well against these guys though, so as long as you have one, you are okay.

So, it's nothing special, but I bought it mainly for local co-op anyway, for which I forsee it being good fun. For the price I paid, it is well worth it.

Yeah, I didn't expect you lot to go running out to buy it. I have had it on my list for some time, waiting for a sale to get it cheap. I am not sure I would have paid full-wack for it anyway.

Just thought it may be one to look out for, next time it's on sale - as you say, at 3 squid I can't complain.
