Metal Gear Survive

Mechanics

Metal Gear Survive is an attempt to employ The Phantom Pain mechanics in a cooperation-oriented multiplayer game, mixing its trademark stealth gameplay with survival elements popular in present-day games, and a cooperation-oriented playstyle. The action takes place in an alternative reality with a post-apocalyptic flavor, full of desolate areas, ruined bases and other mysterious compounds, inhabited by terrifying monsters that are a result of unknown scientific experiments. Interestingly enough, even if firearms are a large part of the game’s inventory, the players have to rely on melee weapons and bows, which often are more useful than their modern counterparts. Survival elements are an integral part of the game – our main objective is to survive in a hostile environment, while the scarce resources found around the area can be used to craft new weapons and equipment.

Game Modes

Metal Gear Survive is a cooperation-oriented game for up to four players. However, the authors introduced a single player mode, in which the remaining players are controlled by the AI.

Technical Aspects

The game makes use of the FOX Engine, already field-tested and praised as one of the highlights of the fifth installment of the series. As a result, the game is characterized by detailed graphics, which design and style were influenced by previous entries in Metal Gear series.
