DYSMANTLE ALL WEAPONS UPGRADE
And if I can’t destroy something just yet, I know that I WILL be able to destroy that something if I can upgrade my weapons high enough. Book cases, trash cans, tables… whatever. But it’s not just overgrowth, it’s everything destructible I can find. It’s also a handy way to keep track of the areas I’ve explored and the ones I haven’t. Do I have to hack away every single pice of overgrowth on the walls and fences of an abandoned house? Well, no, but it’s so satisfying to do so and bring that home back to its former glory. Well, Dysmantle has that element of destroying and collecting, but rather than being a world made up entirely of virtual blocks, it’s a layer built on top of an interesting pre-designed world. Yes, given the bazillion cool things you can do in Minecraft this sounds extremely dull to some, but there’s something satisfying about it, and I can’t imagine I’m the only one who gets a rise out of this sort of thing.

All the while just hacking away in a zen-like state, collecting resources to build what I need or craft new items when necessary. Hollowing out a mountain, clear-cutting a forest, or maybe making a bunch of uneven terrain nice and flat and uniform. Personally my “happy place" in a game like Minecraft is just digging away at… whatever. Now, maybe this sort of thing isn’t for everyone. In fact, the cracking zombie skulls part is probably the least interesting part about the game. Throw in an overall character progression system and huge skill tree to fill out, and Dysmantle has a special sauce beyond just cracking zombie skulls that makes it extremely hard to put down. Destroying stuff yields various types of resources, which you can use to craft and upgrade all sorts of items. So, what is it that makes THIS zombie survival game so much more interesting than the thousands of OTHER zombie survival games? Well for me, it’s the fact that it’s built into a large open world that features destructible objects and environmental elements.
DYSMANTLE ALL WEAPONS PC
It’s called Dysmantle, and after receiving high praise with its PC and console releases, it has also made its way to mobile devices this week. Despite that, somehow 10tons Ltd, who I mostly associate with excellent top-down shooters, have created a zombie apocalypse game that’s ticking every single box for me.

There aren’t many themes that have been done more to death in the past decade or so. You know how pizza is amazing, but if you eat pizza for a week straight, you kind of can’t even stand the sight of it by then? That’s sort of how I feel about zombie apocalypse survival games.
