IT'S STALKER ONLINE WITH LESS MONSTERS AND MORE DICK ASS STALKERS (WHICH HAPPEN TO BE HUMAN)
Giving a lenghty response: it does survival right for the first time in a long while, AND it does it without any content at all.
It's you, the other players, and zombies, and not much else would really be needed.
While playing i said it was like a mix of Wurm online and Stalker. It takes the feeling of being lost in a hostile area with almost no resources from Wurm, but for obvious reasons you don't get all the grindy stuff and of course don't build anything complex, you just scavenge whatever can help you survive, food, weapons, first aid supplies (apparently car parts too but i don't know much about that).
What it takes from Stalker is just the atmosphere, since the map sets you in a generic mountain area in eastern europe, from what i could tell.
Hey, since it's supposed to be eastern europe, we're not actually on an island like i said earlier, are we?
Let me put emphasis on how much the game strips you of resources: when you spawn you only have a pistol with a few mags, a single portion of food and a single bottle of water, and bandages, and none of this is going to last much.
No other supplies, no watch, no compass, no map (you actually have to go get your map from internet, kind of like wurm). You get a broken leg and have no morphine (what helps with broken bones in the game's fiction)? You're dead, since you're not going to be able to walk.
You're alone and get wounded to the head rather than any other body part? You fall on the ground, semi unconscious, and can't actually bandage yourself, happened to us tonight.
And of course there's other players, who might just shoot you without any notice, even just to take your stuff.
This is what a stalker online should be like (since they actually plan to make a mmofps out of the series apparently), that's the best way to put it.
