The original State of Decay launched on the Xbox 360 first and was ported to the PC later that year as a Steam Early Access title. It places the player in charge of a small group of survivors and has them managing the survival of the characters. The player can spend time gathering supplies or fortifying their base to make things easier on themselves. What makes the game stand out in comparison to other zombie games is its permadeath system. Whenever a character dies, be it by zombie or sickness, that character is completely removed from the game.
Not only that but since each character has their own strengths and weaknesses, this drastically impacts your other survivors. This mechanic adds an extra layer of danger to each time you play the game and keeps the experience fresh. Plus the DLC content that was released also added a lot more to the game. Microsoft even created a remastered version of the game for the Xbox One.
The original game had a lot to offer players, but the base game was still missing something that most of the player base wanted: co-op. With the launch of the sequel and co-op support, the game looks to reach an even wider audience than before. Especially since State of Decay 2 will be supporting Microsoft’s Play Anywhere initiative.
