Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
quiet exploration, loneliness, cooperation, progression, survival under scarcity, attachment to items and places, and the constant tension between risk and safety.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A game which looks not only promissing, it really plays pretty nice, has a good story, is fun alone or with friends...oh the memorize...
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Since the game is MMO the players are actually nice I met a lot of good people that will help you when you co-op or just in general they are friendly most of them are from the official game server and not steam.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is straightforward but effective enough for the type of game Dead Maze wants to be.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
At first glance, the bright cartoon-inspired visuals may give the impression that the game is far more casual than most survival experiences, but beneath the approachable presentation lies a surprisingly engaging system built around scavenging resources, surviving infected zones, and slowly rebuilding stability in a collapsing society.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
tl;dr: Devs flip the economy around, change the cash shop, increase upgrade times 5x, add a way to pay real money to get around it, and are now adding PvP.
