Game Engine

Night of the Dead is built with the Unreal Engine. It has multiplayer and you can run a dedicated server. 
 

Survival Elements

The current survival elements are on the lighter side, You need food to heal, as well as if you don’t eat your max health and stamina will decline. You do not need water/drink. I Did not experience any hot/cold character issues either but they come into play in other biomes. 

Base Building 

Base building is very challenging, The building system is very robust probably one of the easiest to use, but you must build a base that the zombies won’t destroy during the nightly attacks. There are tons of traps and they are hella fun! 

Crafting

There is crafting for your crafting, You can craft and upgrade almost everything. 

Looting

Looting comes in your typical zombies rule the world fashion. Vehicles, and containers along with gathering of materials.
