Survive DayZ's Bleak World In Cute New Browser Game
As we head into the holiday season, there's one thing we can all be thankful for: However bad it may seem at times, at least we don't have to worry about zombies. DayZ players know that zombies are only part of the problem facing survivors of the apocalypse, but not everyone has played the game. Bohemia Interactive has released a free new browser game that provides a taste of that experience while offering a new perspective on survival.
MiniDayZ is a 2D, top-down game that you can play here. You won't mingle with other players (which, as DayZ veterans know, isn't necessarily a bad thing), but you will have to battle the undead as well as your own basic human needs. Good luck out there.
Our Take
I've played the game for a little while now, and it looks like I've got a lot to learn about staying alive. Maybe my time with Frank West has made me soft.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
