Fun game that's worth your time. Pros outweigh the cons for me about 2 to 1. Looking forward to future maps. Optimistic devs can make the small adjustments that give the game high replayability.

Pros:
Challenging maps
Great looking graphics
Coop just works
Meta progression system
Purchasable in-game perks, upgrades, gear
Accurate shooting & death animations
Defensive building system that works great
Plenty of place-able building and turrets
.50 cal turret is wild fun

Cons:
Recoil a bit wild for some guns
Some player animations are off (using turrets, floating at times)
Needs more bosses on waves (could take more inspiration from tower defense mid-game+)
Some buildables break every round (need QoL auto-rebuild button)
You can build yourself into your base and need to delete items to leave (there is no jumping)
Rounds with the fire dog things (5,15,25 etc) are tedious and morale destroying (but not hard)
Some buildable items are too similar and could use mild differentiation (sand bag, concrete wall, fence)
No guns are worth using over the .50 cal turret you can build
No gun customization outside of "tier upgrades" (needs clip size, recoil, fire rate etc)
Game scaling feels off- once you get to wave 30 you'll fall asleep until 70+ (medium difficulty)
Once you're rich in-game, there needs to be a money sink (let me invest in any defensive item to absurdity)

Many of the cons are simple changes for the devs and the core game shows they know what they are doing, which is why I recommend this game.

TLDR: This Is One Of The Best Zombie Games I Have Ever Played. If You Don't Think You're Going To Purchase It, I Highly Recommend That You Play The Demo At Least Once Before Making That Decision.

The game went from version 0.6.1 to 0.6.7 in less than a week of it's Early Access Launch.

"We understand that the term 1.0 is turbo-charged with all manner of expectations. It suggests that a game is 'complete', or that there will be a fundamental shift in development away from adding major new features."

Loot Based Survival

A cooperative zombie game for 4 players, where we have to fight against endless waves of zombies, build and strengthen our base, and fight powerful bosses. All we have to do is to destroy zombies using different weapons and strategic tactics, as well as to develop our skills and improve our weapons to resist stronger waves of zombies. In addition, we need to protect and develop our base with the help of special traps and defensive structures. It is worth noting that a well-coordinated team game with other players, including the exchange of resources and strategies with them, will allow us to win in the near future.
