Mixed review scores always make it tough to determine where the game stands in the grand scheme of of its quality and worth. In the case of EKO Software’s How To Survive 2, which is being published by 505 Games, it’s a game being praised for its new upgrades and features over the original game, but many users also felt the game’s buggy state detracts from the experience.
How To Survive 2 allows players to customize their own character and survive in a zombie-infested wasteland. Players will have to scavenge for food, water and supplies to stay alive. The game’s Early Access version lets players level-up to 30, interact with physics-based objects, acquire 20 different weapons, and craft up to 70 different items. The game will be in Early Access through 2016 and will maintain the same price of $19.99 when it launches. The biggest new addition to the game is the multiplayer mode for up to 16 players.
