Gamers use combat, crafting, and creation skills to survive the post-apocalyptic open worlds of 7 Days to Die. The solo campaign finds players in Navezgane, Arizona, where they must scavenge items and materials to craft weapons, clothing, tools, and structurally sound shelters. The game features a day-night cycle, with mutant attackers faster and more aggressive at night, and gamers must eat, drink, and construct traps to say stafe, with the ultimate goal of surviving for as long as possible. Multiplayer fans can also join friends for competitive or co-op action on randomly generated maps.
