7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die is an open-world survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the undead. You explore, fight, craft, loot, mine and develop your character while building a base to withstand attacks. Its gameplay combines first-person shooting, survival horror, tower defense and role-playing systems, and its world can be shaped and destroyed.

Explore the wasteland

Explore five distinct biomes in worlds of up to 100 square kilometers. You can play in the campaign world or generate a random world containing cities, towns, lakes, mountains, valleys, roads, caves and more than 700 unique locations. The wasteland is home to nearly 60 zombie archetypes, including special infected with their own behaviors and attacks; encounters grow more difficult over time.

You can also meet Trader NPCs who buy and sell goods and offer quests for rewards. The game includes several quest types, supported by more than 700 locations.

Build and defend

Design a base with traps, electric power, auto turrets, automated doors, gadgets and defensive positions. Buildings and terrain can collapse if structural damage or poor design undermines their stability. You can cooperate with others to build settlements or compete by raiding other players’ bases.

Craft and develop

Handcraft and repair weapons, clothes, armor, tools, vehicles and more using over 500 recipes. Finding schematics lets you learn more powerful recipes. You can create and customize a bicycle, minibike, motorcycle, 4x4 or gyrocopter, and ride with friends; vehicles require you to find their parts, learn their recipes, and craft them.

Develop your character through perks across five main attributes, and gain additional skills by reading over 100 books. Create a character and customize them in-game with clothing and armor that you craft or find. Nearly 50 buffs, boosts and ailments affect survival, offering both challenges and advantages.

Gather and survive

Scavenge for weapons, tools and armor, which come in six quality ranges and thousands of possible combinations. You can add mods to items. Build gardens for sustainable resources or hunt more than a dozen kinds of wild animals.

Create and customize

The game provides over 800 in-game items, more than 1,300 unique building blocks and a painting system for building and decorating. These tools let you shape the destructible world and design your own base.
