Dear survival game enthusiasts. There’s a new game in town – and boy, is it shaping up to be a banger. It’s called Decimated. It isn’t just a game. It’s an experience. Everyone knows you’ve heard that before. But hear it out.
Decimated is a foray into the cyberpunk apocalypse that offers a unique blend of heart-thumping action, strategic cooperation, and endearing world-building. Designed to peak your adrenaline and tickle your wits, Decimated beckons a new era of online multiplayer survival RPGs.
Spearheaded by Fracture Labs, this Unreal Engine 5 masterpiece is set in a sprawling, persistent open world where players engage, create and adapt against a backdrop torn from the pages of a dystopian future.
So, how’s it different?
What sets this game apart from the bustling bazaar of its competitors? And how does it intend to bring a fresh gust of wind into the gaming community’s sails? This is what’s explored in this deep dive into the lush world of Decimated.
The unique appeal of decimated
Merge the intense gameplay loop of Escape from Tarkov with the sandbox freedom of DayZ, and you’ll be touching the tip of the iceberg of what Decimated has to offer.
The game entrusts players with the responsibility of a vanishing world and the thrill of fighting or uniting to survive. It provides a dynamic user experience that encourages multiple playstyles. User actions resonate with the larger ecosystem, potentially swaying the world’s factions.
How would you like to protect and serve? You can be a police officer with YouTube-worthy parkour skills.
Or, you can be a normal citizen — though you will be one with a jetpack and an itchy trigger finger. You can be a marauder — out for yourself, loot, and the blood of your enemies. The choice is yours.
The game’s economy is player-driven, and the market thrives on commodity trading. You drive your vehicle of choice, which would make the creators of Mad Max proud. Hop from one point to another with a jet pack or use it to “float n’ shoot.”
The post-apocalyptic setting isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a monster all its own. A living, breathing entity that reacts to the player’s actions.
What to expect from early access
Early Access promises a gripping array of features. Gamers can expect to plunge into the world of Decimated, acquainting themselves with the basic mechanics, the thrilling combat and the variety of roles available.

Early access is expected to last several months. However, the duration isn’t etched in stone. It will flex and flow based on community interaction, game development and the delicacy with which the two interplay.
