Test Chamber – State Of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition
Undead Labs' State of Decay throws players into an open-world zombie apocalypse where there are no second chances for characters. If a zombie finishes you off, control switches to another character. Survival and resource management are paramount. If you don't take care of the survivors or enhance your base, you'll be in for a world of trouble.
In this Test Chamber episode, we take a look at the Xbox One version of the new State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition, an enhanced port running in 1080p and outfitted with new weapons, vehicles, and the Lifeline and Breakdown add-ons. It doesn't take long for me to get in way over my head in zombie chaos. I show you just how ridiculous and exciting State of Decay's gameplay can be. Jeff Cork and Ben Hanson provide insight as to how this game should be played.
State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition launches tomorrow on Xbox One and PC.
