DeadPoly
DeadPoly is a polygon arcade zombie survival looter shooter with base building, crafting, scavenging, leveling, questing, and more, but your only goal is survival, everything else is optional.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “addictive looting and base building” (76 of 104 reviews) and “responsive developer actively updating” (10); the most common complaint is “empty world, repetitive mechanics” (37). What reviewers agree on ↓

“Deadpoly is one of those games I keep coming back to on and off, and that says a lot. I have been playing it since it first came out, and over time it has turned into one of those reliable games you can jump back into…”
“For what it is this game was fun to learn, some things need to be worked on like the crafting aspect, but again this game was fun, stuff id like to see in the future is a more flushed out world, less empty space when im…”
“I really enjoyed my time on this game so far and i havent even played with any friends yet, although id like there to be a bit more to do like; harder enemies than the big fat guy and some harder missions that'd make me…”

“i never do these, but Kamron is the best dev for any game ive played(and i have a lot of hours in lots of games). Started as not much, but slowly over time you can see and feel the game coming together piece by piece.”
“This game has been an absolute blast with friends and a huge hit within my server! a must play for sure! also a huge shout out to the developer! hes done an amazing job! thanks a million from catfishnate!!!!”
“(This review is a bit all over the place because I dont know how to articulate how much I love this game) Gonna start off by saying that I just really love this game. Yes there are features missing that I'd love to see…”

“Just... really bad. Play Surroundead instead. The game feels really empty and basic. Combat is unsatisfying, and aiming a gun without sights is janky. There's too much loot. When coupled with a poorly implemented…”

“This has been one heck of a find for my library, and easily one of the best $10 I have spent in a long time. For the price tag, getting myself 70+ hours (and counting) out of it is a total no brainer! DeadPoly is a…”
“Can be the best open world zombie survival game out there just needs a little work. Looting system is super good. Also does not support controller setup even tho it claims to support it . tried to play on a Asus ROG…”
“I think the Game is Great and people saying it's not worth it are basically wrong. It's early in the development and there are plenty of things to do and see, I got it on sale but even at 10 bucks it's still a bargain…”

“empty, lifeless game, 2022 early access. and all weve done is placed assets and added loot pools. Try surroundead if you want something more polished with the same feel and art style.”

“Meh, just another zombie game with lowpoly assets. Seen these assets 1000 times. Gameplay is quite bland and unresponsive - Just a bit boring really.”

“It's awful right now, but hopefully with time it will become something good. (Edit to respond to the developer: The game world is too empty. Items spawn in completely randomly and often times through walls. Combat is…”
“Loot scaling is all over the place doesn't matter where you are youll find anything anywhere. Most of the buildings are pretty much empty, there will be a couple thing to loot then every room is bare. Even the weapons…”
“I used to love this game but i hopped back into it has awsome cosmetics and a good base after hours of play just for a raider to come shoot me in solo and no warning or indication while in my base and when i get back to…”

“Spolier: It's not worth it at all. Even tho I played this game in 2022, it became only worse. Lots of bugs and illogical moments. Zombies are pretty simple and low-intelligent. All what you do is running around and…”
“This game is in too rough a shape to be recommended right now. IF you wan something like this I'd go for surroundead. This game looks like it could be good but the world feels barren and weird. Loot areas don't make…”
“man this game kinda fun--- oop i crashed. oh i found a cool dino costume-- oop i crashed and it deleted it from my inventory, that's cool i guess-- oop i crashed again, went back in time and now my backpacks gone too.…”

“It took you one year to add that character in the middle of nowhere and they had 6 missions, 4 of which was right in front of them.... Early Access is a red flag these days. Got it.”
“When I bought this I thought it may have potential but I am very much mistaken. Other than a developer who is constanly working on and updating it the game has not changed much in 3 years, it looks and feel mostly the…”

— a player, Steam review · 242 hrs played“I played this game shortly after it came out, the layout of the maps and the way in which loot and crafting functioned seemed fine and even a bit fun for me. Essentially this game reminded me of a slightly more fledged out version of vanilla Unturned, I took a break to return a…”
