Dear survival game lovers. There's a new game in town – and it's shaping up to be a blast. It is called Decimated. It's not just a game. It's an experience. Everyone knows you've heard that before. But hear it out.
Decimated is a foray into the cyberpunk apocalypse that offers a unique blend of heart-pounding action, strategic cooperation, and endearing world-building. Designed to boost your adrenaline and challenge your wits, Decimated beckons a new era of online multiplayer survival RPGs.
Led by Fracture Labs, this Unreal engine 5 masterpiece is set in a vast, persistent open world where players engage, create and customize against a backdrop torn from the pages of a dystopian future.
So, how is it different?
What sets this game apart from the bustling bazaar of its competitors? And how does it plan to bring a new gust into the sails of the gaming community? Here's what's explored in this deep dive into the lush world of Decimated.
The unique appeal of decimated
Merge the intense gameplay loop of Escape from Tarkov with the sandbox freedom of DayZ, and you're just scratching the surface of what Decimated has to offer.
The game entrusts players with the responsibility of a disappearing world and the tension of fighting or uniting to survive. It offers a dynamic user experience that encourages multiple play styles. User actions resonate with the larger ecosystem and can potentially influence the world's factions.
How would you like to protect and serve? You can be a police officer with parkour skills worthy of YouTube.
Or you can be a normal citizen, even if you are one with a jetpack and an itchy trigger finger. You can be a plunderer – looking for yourself, plunder and the blood of your enemies. The choice is yours.
The game's economy is player-driven and the market thrives on the trading of commodities. You drive the vehicle of your choice, something the makers of Mad Max would be proud of. Jump from one point to another with a jetpack or use it to 'hover and shoot'.
The post-apocalyptic setting is not just a background. It's a monster all its own. A living, breathing entity that responds to the player's actions.
What to expect from early access
Early Access promises a gripping range of features. Gamers can expect to dive into the world of Decimated and experience its core mechanics, exciting combat, and variety of roles available.
The developers encourage a feedback loop that guides the refinement of existing content and paves the way for additional features.
Early access is expected to last several months. However, duration is not etched in stone. It will be flexible and fluid based on community interaction, game development and the delicacy with which the two interact.
This version of the game is not a complete book. It is the gripping prologue – the eager whisper of a grand story waiting to be unraveled. It's also free!
The road ahead
The roadmap for Decimated is full of lofty ambitions, with every waypoint a prospect to take the gaming experience to the next level.
Expected features include character progression systems that add depth and progression to your favorite roles, a metropolis full of cyberpunk life, trade routes laden with fortunes and enemies, and a PvPvE tapestry that weaves AI opponents into the tangle of player conflict.
Players are invited to witness, participate and contribute to this important year of development. The platform for their engagement is as diverse as it is engaging, with the Decimated Discord servers acting as a vibrant forum for ideas and feedback.
In addition to verbal input, players can submit user-generated content such as vehicle concepts, weapon designs, and location aesthetics.
