How to Survive Storm Warning Edition demo

Gameplay of How to Survive

How to survive surprised me! I wasn't expecting all that much from the game. Played as a top down action RPG game. As the game starts off you get to select from a cast of 3 characters each with their own advantages. I was expecting a game to play more like Dead Nation a top down run and gun shooter. In actuality the game is more closer to another Zombie game Dying light, where instead of using guns and other heavy artillery you have to find items from the environment to fend off the zombie hoards that come at you. 
Visually the game looks good for a digital indie game. I also appreciate the combat system, very similar to Dying Light, or the Dead Island games, you can find weapons to pick up, as you attack enemies your weapon will start to degrade, and will do less damage. I also love that you can upgrade your weapons to do more damage. Another amazing feature of the game is that it forces you to sleep, and eat to keep your character alive putting a strong focus on stat management makes the game feel unique from the normal Zombie games available on the market. 

Other Notable features of the game include, 3 different playable characters, 7 different Islands to explore, An ever changing day and night cycle that will change the gameplay. The ability to play online or offline co-op. The options to play a full story mode or a challenge mode.
Developed by EKO Software, the game is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. I had a blast playing the demo and strongly recommend checking this game out. If you are looking for something a little different from the usual Zombie games this is definitely a good choice. The game certainly has some flaws but nothing that really got me to the point of just giving up. 

The demo isn't very long but it does provide you with just enough play time to give you a proper sense of what the full game would be like. I played the demo on the PS4.
 Check out the free demo now and you will be pleasantly surprised. 

Recommend it!
