Atelier 801 has announced that Dead Maze is inviting you to the zombie apocalypse beginning February 13th. During recent closed beta testing, players provided tons of feedback that has led to a number of bug fixes. In addition, new features have been added including a new horde mode feature called The Raid as well as localized editions in Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, German, Polish, Spanish and Turkish.
The game is set in the modern western United States where humanity has been all but wiped out. Zombies roam at will and it is up to players to find other like-minded souls with whom to journey and to survive. You'll explore, scavenge and work with others to try to rebuild society.
Some of Dead Maze’s unique features are:
- Cooperation is key: in this game with no player versus player combat, you have to work together to explore high-risk, high-reward instances in a ravaged modern world. Scavenge for resources, craft life-saving supplies and fight off the ever-present hordes of infected.
- Face not only the undead, but also hunger, thirst, injuries and diseases. Ration your food and drinks, and monitor your health carefully through the in-depth survival mechanics.
- Establish your camp and build and furnish your own home with the help of others. Plant seeds and tend to your vegetable gardens or breed cattle to gain access to extra food sources such as milk.
- Watch out: the infected work together using an advanced AI design and will gather together before attacking. They come in many different shapes and sizes, from violently exploding infected capable of attracting even more undead, to bosses able to project more infected towards you.
- From kitchen knives to old undergarments, use any of the 500+ items to defend yourself and defeat the hordes of infected.
- Choose and change which archetype to play at any time thanks to versatile skills, gear and scavenged items, from being a healer supporting others, to DPS or powerful tank.
- A compelling story and strong cast of supporting characters will guide you at launch across a dozen different locations and 22 major quests. The mission to survive doesn’t end there, as the story will continue to be expanded after the official launch of Dead Maze with new missions and chapters.
- Much more content to be added after launch, including the upcoming map editor which allows you to create your own adventures, play through them with your friends, and share them with the whole community.
