Dysmantle could very quickly have become yet another stress factor in my life, and yet in the 40 odd hours I’ve sunk into the game, it never has. There is a heavy focus on exploration, resource gathering, and completing quests, but you never feel overwhelmed while playing because of the multiple respawn points and loot drop off points. The fun in Dysmantle lies in the games relaxed approach to the survival genre. My partner and I are always on the lookout for games that we can play together, and honestly, we’ve found ourselves returning to Dysmantle or talking about how much we want to return to Dysmantle every single night since installing it. Dying to a Zombie you can’t outrun is one thing dying to a Zombie because your teammate closed the door just before you could run through it, is another joy altogether. Armed only with the weakest of tools and your wits, you must scavage, craft, and fight to survive, all while trying to find a way off of the Zombie infested island you found yourself trapped on.ĭysmantle allows for both solo and couch co-op play, and honestly, co-op is where this game shines. Unfortunately, the supplies have now run out, so the choice is made for you, stay in your bunker and starve to death or leave it and take your chances with the Zombies. Enter Dysmantle, an end of the world zombie survival RPG as relaxing as it is entertaining.Īs is the case with most Zombie games, the premise is pretty simple: You play as a survivor of the apocalypse who has been hiding down in his bunker for years. When I finally get to sit back and play a game, I neither want nor need more of the same.
I already have a full-time job that gives me stress and anxiety. While I love the idea of games like Project Zomboid, I would never actually play it. But that’s what makes survival games so fun I get to pretend to be a better, fitter and more agile version of myself, and in the case of Dysmantle, I get to kill some Zombies while doing it. That was decided when I fell down the same set of stairs, not once but twice, and broke my elbow each time. Now I’m under no illusions I know that if a Zombie apocalypse were to break out, my chance of survival is pretty damn low. If there’s a genre that speaks to my soul, it’s survival games. * Unravel the mysteries of the strange island.If I had to sum up my review in under twenty words, this would be it: This past week, I’ve had both Dysmantle and Dying Light 2 available to play. * Cook delicious recipes for permanent stat and ability upgrades. * Fish cunning scaly things under the watery surface. * Solve puzzles above ground and underground in the Tombs of the Old Ones * Farm nutritious plants and reap the rewards as the crop gets ripe. * Hunt various game or tame them for your post-apocalyptic zoo ranch. * Craft permanent weapons, tools, outfits, and trinkets. * Build outposts to establish your presence. Clear areas of monsters and claim it as yours.
* Explore the handcrafted open world and uncover its mysteries. * Fight with (or run away) nasty and vile creatures of the post-apocalyptic era. * Break over 99% of all objects for materials with the right tools. But before that, enjoy the bittersweet apocalypse. You need to find a way to escape the wretched island. A world with no other human soul to be seen.
A world inhabited with nasty and vile creatures. As you ascend from your shelter after the long long years, a brave new old world awaits you.
