The Outlands 2 Zombie Survival

What The Outlands 2 is and who it is for

If you want a zombie survival game on your phone that you can play with friends, The Outlands 2 Zombie Survival is the sequel to the developer's first Unturned style zombie game for mobile, and this time it adds multiplayer. The art is low poly, and the developer says it draws on Unturned, Dead Island, DayZ and Rust. The listing shows more than 1,000,000 installs and carries a PEGI 12 rating.

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world infected by zombies, where finding resources is the main task. Those resources are used to craft useful items and to build a shelter. Players can fight one another for them or team up.

The listing describes the game as still in development. Some of what follows is in the game now and some is planned, and each section says which is which.

Multiplayer, servers and chat

The current feature list includes both multiplayer and singleplayer modes, so a solo game is possible alongside group play. Server creation is listed as included now. The planned version lets anyone set up public or private servers.

A chat system is in the game now. The planned version adds voice chat alongside written chat, and clans for players to form groups.

Looting, guns and the disease system

Looting is central to the current game. Items fall into weapons, food and medical supplies, and guns are listed as included now. The planned version widens the weapons to attachments and a range from assault rifles to RPGs.

A disease system is in the game now, so sickness is something to manage alongside supplies. The planned version adds health, hunger and thirst, which the developer describes as the challenge to survive.

Zombies, the map and NPCs

The current game includes different kinds of zombies. The map is small, with locations to explore that include a prison and military bunkers.

The planned version promises more zombie types and non-player characters such as bandits. It also lists vehicles, including cars and helicopters.

Crafting, inventory and base building

Crafting turns the resources you find into useful items or a shelter. The inventory and crafting systems are planned in the style of Unturned and DayZ, which the listing names as its reference points. Scavenging is planned alongside looting.

Base building and raiding are planned. You can build a base, or raid someone else's. The listing sets this against battling or befriending other players, so the choice of how to deal with others runs through the planned design.

Character customisation, skins and development

Character customisation is listed as included now, and skins are planned. You can pre-register to be told when the game is released.

Development progress is posted on YouTube. The listing also asks for suggestions for further features on the developer's Discord or YouTube channel.
