A new zombie game from South Korea could finally fulfill the promise that The Day Before made to its players – only to break it spectacularly at release. The hope is not completely unfounded, as a major developer is behind the project.
Which game is being talked about? It refers to Nakwon: Last Paradise on Steam. At first glance, it looks like the game that The Day Before wanted to be – a survival MMO with an open-world gameplay that makes you feel like you are truly living in a zombie-ravaged world.
You can see the first gameplay material from the game here:
What is the game about? In Nakwon: Last Paradise, you traverse a large city in South Korea. Since the outbreak of a mysterious illness, zombies and other people like you are trying to survive at all costs.
- The gameplay is PvPvE: The zombies are controlled by the computer, while humans are controlled by other players.
- During the day, you build and reinforce your shelter, while at night you venture into the streets of the city. There, you search for food and other survival-critical resources.
- In battles, you are allowed to use even ordinary objects as weapons, but these are always risky: The smallest wound can be fatal if not treated properly.
Not every encounter with other players has to end in combat. You can just as well cooperate with other humans or sneak past them. This way, you avoid pointless confrontations and minimize the risk of your nighttime forays.
Does Nakwon fulfill the wish of disappointed “The Day Before” fans?
The Day Before built a considerable hype with a very similar promise and was for a long time the most wished-for game on Steam – and that, even though many players were still not sure until the release whether it was even real.
With the release came disappointment: The Day Before was not the game that developer Fntastic had boldly promised. Instead of a survival MMO with an open world, players were met with a technically clunky extraction shooter. Only five days after release, Fntastic discontinued The Day Before.
What are the chances for Nakwon: Last Paradise? A well-known developer and publisher from South Korea, Nexon, is working on the project. As a publisher, they recently scored a hit with The First Berserker: Khazan on Steam – MeinMMO tested The First Berserker: Khazan for you.
Nakwon: Last Paradise at least has better starting conditions to deliver what it promises. However, the developers have not yet revealed when the game is supposed to be released.
Have you heard about Nakwon: Last Paradise and are curious, or are you cautious about the project? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Shortly after Fntastic sabotaged The Day Before, they announced their next project: “Everyone deserves a 2nd chance” – The developers of The Day Before are back, want to do better and are asking for money
