Survarium is referred to by fans as the online S.T.A.L.K.E.R. And it is slowly becoming a rounded game. The latest update introduced the first PvE mission.
Survarium has so far been a PvP online shooter with an interesting backstory. Nature is reclaiming the world, and people must try to survive. Anomalies appear unexpectedly and can have severe consequences.
The story is somewhat reminiscent of the action RPG series S.T.A.L.K.E.R. No wonder, as part of the developers from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are working on Survarium. Their ambitions are high: Survarium is meant to become an online S.T.A.L.K.E.R. at some point.
PvE serves as a tutorial
The previous PvP battles on several maps have now been expanded with the first PvE mission in the current update.
The mission takes you to a new area and serves as a tutorial. You will be introduced to the game world before you can fight each other. The developers also encourage all veterans to play this mission. This way, they can learn more about the story and get a sense of how future story missions will unfold.
New PvP mode, more maps and more
Because the team is already planning more co-op missions to be introduced in the foreseeable future.
The update also introduces the “Slaughter” mode, which essentially offers fast team deathmatch on small maps. Improved animations for healing, two new weapons, and five variations of existing maps are also included. Additionally, a lot of balancing adjustments and bug fixes made their way into the game.
The fans are showing a positive attitude since they can finally see with update 0.47 that Survarium is moving in the direction that was announced five years ago: to create an online S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
