Post-Apocalyptic · Sci-Fi · Survival

The survival mechanics of Metal Gear Survive, layered onto the stealth action framework, created a unique experience. Resource management and base building were key to fending off hordes of crystalline zombies, while scavenging for supplies and expanding your territory was a constant struggle. The game's blend of tactical combat, crafting, and base defense, set against the backdrop of a deformed alternate reality, kept players engaged despite the familiar setting.

About Metal Gear Survive

Details
Survive takes place during an alternate timeline immediately following the conclusion of Ground Zeroes, with Big Boss leaving behind a destroyed Mother Base — as well as a group of soldiers who are now stranded in the remains. A wormhole opens up and ports them into a deserted, transformed version of Ground Zeroes’ setting, one plagued by disturbing creatures whom were biologically damaged during the move across time.
