Zombie MMO is a fun online action game in survival horror convention, created by Undead Labs studio. The player directs the actions of one of the survivors in a world dominated by hordes of zombies. The main goal of the struggle is survival, i.e. providing access to food, water, safe shelter and weapons to repel the attacks of the living corpses.
Zombie MMO (temporary title) is a game that would enable the players to play one of the few survivors in a world where an outbreak of a mysterious epidemic turned the majority of the population into bloodthirsty zombies. Undead Labs is responsible for the game. The studio was founded by Strain, who in the past worked at Blizzard on World of Warcraft. Shortly after completing this production he left the company and created with his colleagues ArenaNet, the studio responsible for Guild Wars. Undead Labs also has a lot of other people from ArenaNet, including James Phinney, the second of the three co-founders of the company.
The action of the game takes place in modern times, just a few months forward from today. Of course, the universe created by the devs differs from ours in the fact that the local civilization was almost completely destroyed by living corpses. Undead Labs' debut work tells the story of people trying to survive after the apocalypse, and not about coping with the outbreak of the epidemic itself.
The devs did not want their game to be just a dark online gameplay park, where you can find static attractions at every step. Instead, they created a dynamic world-changing as a result of the actions of players. One of the most important elements of the game is collecting tools and objects, which we then use to fortify buildings. The physics engine of the game allows you to create, among other things, dams, narrow passages, fences and a ton of various traps. Only through thoughtful use of all these possibilities will we be able to repel further zombie attacks.
The devs made sure that their work features dynamic and exciting combat. Instead of copying solutions from typical PC-based MMOs, the creators drew inspiration from systems known from high-budget console shooters. An important aspect of the game is, of course, survival in this dangerous world, which means that everything has to be broken down to get water, food, shelter and, of course, ammunition. In order to make it easier for the players, the task was made possible to cultivate and collect their crops. Everything is designed in a realistic way, which means that we will be gathering into larger groups because it is simply easier to survive this way. In such a world, a lonely person can only become a zombie foom. Only a small community is able to prepare a relatively safe shelter and start clearing the nearby area of living corpses.
