Game Engine

SurrounDead is built with the Unreal Engine.
Survival Elements

Food and Water, You will need to eat and drink, when these meters go empty you will take damage and die very quickly. There is also a medical system with bleed and broken bones, as you would expect these need to be addressed in different ways. I did not experience any temperature elements. There is poison and radiation to contend with as well. 

Base Building 

Base building is different, Right now you can build a base but there is no actual building pieces. You can build and place lots of items, but would want to do so inside a fence, which you can build with a large gate. I suspect most people will overtake a present building and wall it off. 

Crafting

There are quiet a bit of things to craft. You will need them for survival and convenience.

Looting

The majority of looting comes in the form of “containers” with some harvesting of wood and stone.

Combat, Main Enemy Types

SurrounDead features Zombie and Enemy Ai, One spoiler here the zombies will chase the wildlife, it’s pretty cool. 

Characters and Leveling

You start with a premade character, that appears to be randomly generated with no customization options. Once you put clothes on them I don’t really see that it makes a difference because your clothes really establish how you character looks. There is also skill based leveling, I had not made a skill level up in 8 hours or so but I was very close in medical lol. There is also character leveling which allows you to put points into various skills. 

Creature Taming and Mounts

There is no taming but there are several vehicle types.

Weather Impacts on Gameplay

Currently weather only seems to impact your visibility. There are various weather effects and some are really good.

Game Modes

SurrounDead current doesn’t have any modes

Map

SurrounDead uses a handcrafted map. 

Over Gameplay Difficulty

Surrounded is a little tougher than some. When you die you have to do a loot run, There are sliders at the start of the game that allow you to customize everything. I used the default for standard mode. There is also Peace, Hardend, and Nightmare.
