Gameplay
Gameplay
The gameplay of Just Survive emphasized multiplayer cooperation, trading, and team-building. Players scavenge supplies, craft items, and build strongholds to defend against the zombie horde. The main focus of the game involved surviving against zombies through teamwork with other players, rather than having a player versus player (PvP) environment with zombies as a backdrop.
Release
Release
The game was released for Windows via Steam as an early access title on January 15, 2015. The game suffered from several issues at launch. A short-lived bug that crashed the game's servers was also introduced through a patch meant to fix other problems. The game sold over a million copies within two months. In 2016, the game, originally known as simply H1Z1, was split into two separate projects with their own dedicated development teams, subtitled Just Survive and King of the Kill.
