About DMZ: Nuclear Survival
Set in a new supercontinent, "Pangea," born from tectonic shifts caused by nuclear war, born from tectonic shifts caused by the war, where an intense battle for survival unfolds. Players will excavate ancient ruins scattered across the land—such as pyramids, terracotta warriors, and Roman temples—researching relics, crafting items, and even resurrecting powerful soldiers from ancient genes to revive a fallen civilization. Fight for survival.
Field Map
The vast, procedurally generated supercontinent "Pangaea" is home to a variety of biomes, including forests, grasslands, wastelands, deserts, and snowfields. Players can freely excavate and raise the ground to construct caves, fortresses, trenches, and more. Beneath the surface lie hidden mineral veins and ancient ruins, where players can use tools like shovels, dynamite, and even nuclear weapons to unearth valuable resources.
Combat
Engage in intense battles with NPCs and other players across the vast field. The soldiers you train can accompany you as a squad of up to three members, allowing you to give them commands and fight alongside them. Combine various skills and perks to create your own ultimate team.
Bases
Players can freely build their base both above and below ground. Inside the base, you can place captured humans and animals from the field, assigning them to work in farms, factories, and other facilities to craft powerful weapons, armor, vehicles, and more. You can also set up vehicle and weapons factories to strengthen your military forces.
Training
By bringing NPCs captured in the field back to your base, you can make them your companions. These include combat-specialized soldiers like infantry, scouts, and medics, as well as valuable personnel for internal affairs such as farmers, scientists, and politicians. A variety of animals, like bears, wolves, and ostriches, can also become your allies.
Once you’ve made them your allies, you can assign them to training facilities like gyms and shooting ranges or provide them with food to enhance their abilities, helping them grow into unique and powerful soldiers.
Additionally, by extracting genes from excavated relics and bones, you can resurrect ancient warriors such as Roman soldiers and Eastern martial artists to join your ranks. You can even breed NPCs to create even stronger soldiers.
Economy
Items and buildings scattered across the world each have their own asset value, and players can check their total assets in a ranking format. You can increase your wealth through various means, such as raiding, production, trade, and even underworld activities. Become the wealthiest person in the world and dominate it.
Multiplayer
Experience immersive PvE and competitive PvP multiplayer modes. Set up your own dedicated server and play with over 100 players. Invite your friends to establish a powerful military corporation. Offline single-player mode is also fully supported, offering a complete experience for solo players.
