The main concept, for those who haven't heard of Day Z, is this. You spawn in a random location and need to gather gear in order to survive the constant onslaught of players and zombies trying to kill you. That's it. However when you die, you lose all of the gear you collected. This means you value your life very much in game and that's where the fun comes in. Heated negotiations with other player...

Alien Rage Community Page The gameplay in Alien Rage is actually quite fun. I enjoyed the run and gun style of gameplay and was the biggest factor that kept me coming back. However this run and gun feel is only really present on the lowest difficulty. I began the game on the middle difficulty setting and found I was spending most of my time playing in cover. I caved and switched the difficulty to ...
