Second, there’s no building the only safe havens you can find are formed by hammering planks over windows and screwing locks and bolts into doors in order to fortify existing structures. I think it’s important to mention a handful of other differences, too.įirst, the terrain is static, so there’s no digging or raising terrain or most world objects the map is completely static. While much of this may sound like standard survival-crafting fare, such as you’d see in 7 Days to Die, the perma-death aspect (yes, when you die that’s it, you can only respawn and start again from scratch!) makes for one striking difference. Get lucky and you may also find guns, ammunition, medicines, advanced tools, and even cars and electricity generators. fires or workbenches) to do the conversion. Many of these can be converted to more useful resources using the inventory crafting menu, or taken to crafting stations (e.g. To help you survive, you can find various basic materials, old tools, and other objects. It’s also quite easy to get sick, permanently decreasing your characteristics. So as well as basic food and water, your daily consumables typically also include tinder and wood for lighting a fire to boil your drinking water and cook any food you find, as well as clean rags for bandages - at least when you’re starting out, those zombies can be pretty rough. Most houses are inhabited by zombies, which you’ll have to avoid or dispatch using a hand-crafted melee weapon or any looted weapons you can find as you explore the world. To make surviving more difficult, however, there are no sources of drinkable fresh water and for food you’re reduced to picking berries, hunting animals, or looting deserted or overrun houses. Eat enough and the levels will stay the same, or if you’re really lucky, even increase. Surviving, then, consists of keeping your health above zero and maintaining your water and food intake, with the latter measured in calories per day: eat too few calories for the day and come the next morning your maximum health, stamina, and carrying capacity will all decrease. Black Island is an open world sandbox beyond a very short introductory tutorial, you’re left completely on your own to survive against the endlessly spawning undead. Black Island is inhabited mainly by zombies who try to tear you to pieces whenever they see you, though other players and occasional NPC animals - deer and chickens, from what I’ve seen so far - may be in residence as well. You find yourself alone, with no equipment save your trusty battery-powered headlamp, in a random location on Black Island, and your only goal is to survive for as long as possible.Īs alluded to by the title, the focus of the game is survival. I haven’t seen any other backstory, so don’t know if the whole world is thought to be in this condition, what happened to cause it, and so on, but ultimately it’s unimportant for the game. You play an as-yet un-named and un-customisable man on Black Island, a relatively large island that is overrun by an unending horde of zombies. I say “public” Early Access because I actually added it to my Steam wishlist in 2017 and it’s been available for all that time already, but with the Steam store page hidden from casual searching while the dedicated development team worked to get it to a state where they thought it was ready for more general consumption: Alpha 1.0, as they call it.
