I Love survival games, I really enjoy games like Survivalist Invisible Strain. If you enjoy games similar to Survivalist Invisible Strain, then check out the following page. I list all the gameplay elements of Survivalist Invisible Strain and at the bottom of the page is a list of survival games with similar gameplay elements.
This game is in early access and I have limited play time, the information below is per my time, the developer/steam page and whatever else is available.
Survivalist Invisible Strain is being created with the Unity Engine
This game is being developed by BOB! Good Job BOB!
I have not been able to identify all the survival elements, Food, Water, Clothing (warmth, armor, and wetness). You have to manage body temperature, There are also several strains of viruses.
You will need to build a custom base, From what I can tell you use pre-designed structures.
There are tons of things to craft.
You will be looting containers and buildings. Building give a fresh take as you don’t have to go container by container, once you enter a building, you don’t see the inside but hit inventory and it shows everything you discovered.
The big Z, There are several strains of infection resulting in different zombies. Unique Combat where you must target the zombies head, midsection, or lower section.
There is a very detailed character and leveling system.
The game just had vehicles introduced. There is no taming, or mounts however you will need to convince people to join your community.
The weather will impact your characters temperature, which can lead to your death. There maybe other impacts as well.
Single and Multiplayer. There is a sandbox mode, which has a loose story. There is also community made modes, which includes things like easy start.
The game has very detailed map-able controls. Including Invert Y
The base map is procedurally generated
Currently I have 8 hours in the game. I will have a lot more.
In 8 hours I have basically just tried to learn how to survive. The Zombies are extremely difficult,They will dive on you, they are very fast, (some). The combat is unique that you can target the legs, mid section and head. Hitting them in the legs will slow them down. Making any noise at all attracts every zombie in their range, so it can result in a lot of zombies pretty fast. I still barely have any idea what I am doing, I have died many times, I am finding the game very fun, despite my massive failure rate.
All living characters in the world have names and personality traits. They remember your actions, and their memories affect their mood and their opinion of you.
You can target your enemies legs to slow them down, or try to hit their heads for greater damage.
You can sneak up on enemies and assassinate them, or just knock them out cold and steal their stuff.
As you recruit followers they’ll need a place to sleep, a steady food source, and a fire to keep warm.
When you start a new game you can set up your character’s appearance, clothing, equipment, skills, and personality.
