    On steam, circa £7.

    Sort of looks like a minecraft clone, with firearms added.

    Anyone got this and recommends it?

    Thread resurrection.

    Bought this at the weekend, absolutely epic fun, my favourite by miles is the critically acclaimed 'zombie mode', which pitches a single player against a whole gang of armed soldiers. Whilst he has no weapons and can build only in a limited way, the zombie moves like a stabbed rat, takes minor damage from falling great heights and he can dig with his hands through anything very quickly, boring his way through the largest structures.

    The beauty of this game is the physics; unlike minecraft objects do not hang in the air and unless physically supported will collapse when undermined by players. Thus, a small team of zombies can bring down huge structures in minutes. What is more, the same damaged map is re-used each time a new round begins, so you have ever fewer places to hide and must rely on team work and rapid building to create a bastion from which you can defend yourself.

    My favourite weapons include the tunneling rocket which is a spinning projectile which will burrow a perfect tunnel into the earth, and of course the snow/ice cannon which spits out blocks at a fast rate and can produce bridges or walls or shelters very very quickly to impede oncoming zombies, albeit only for a short while.

    Absolutely excellent fun and could be a good forum-wide game which appeals to many. Very easy to play and pickup with slightly more variety and maybe a bit less mind numbing for some than minecraft.
