Or as I like to call it, the hopelessly addicting lovechild of Left 4 Dead and Skyrim/Fallout (with a hint of minecraft).
The game is still in its Alpha phase, but is available for purchase at a reduced price (29.99) on steam for early play. Graphically its at about the same level of skyrim, and many of the controls (and skill system) work the same way. Zombies, zombie dogs, zombie bears, and mutated zombie bees all feature in the rather large cast of undead you end seeing over the course of your survival throughout the game. The game is both singleplayer and multiplayer, allowing for groups of players to create their own servers to team up and build their own fortresses in order to survive an increasingly hostile world. Difficulty settings can be changed at any time, and their are options to make the world go from challenging to downright hostile (Watch your host increase the max horde size and then switch it so that they never stop running. You might have enough time to jump before you get jumped)
Normal game modes have it so that zombies walk fairly slowly during the day, and hunt during the night, running, while they search for your hideyhole. On EVERY seventh day things get vicious as a massive horde endlessly spawns outside your base knowing exactly where you are and you have to actively defend your home before they break in to make a meal of you and your friends. Additionally, the difficulty keeps scaling upwards every seven days or so, with increasingly dangerous zombies, more dangerous hordes, and roving zombie dogs (aka most common way to die outside of hordes early game)
The world is huge, and theirs plenty to explore, and the game recieves constant updates as more content is added. Future plans seek to add roving Bandit gangs to add to the game experience (If you play online in pvp allowed, Bandits may as well be synonymous with other player clans)
As fair warning, I have only played this on PC, and have heard that the Console version still faces severe problems performance wise.
For those of you who want another view at what the games like, here's a Lets play by the guys at Achievement Hunter on Youtube.
