So far it sounds like battle royale with extra steps but it might prove to be more than that, depending on what twists the developers put into the game.Ĭonsidering the depth of character customisation, and how many things players need to keep an eye on in order to survive, it also hints the game will play like Conan Exiles, where players survive for as long as they can, and eventually attempt to escape the treacherous lands. SCUM in a nutshell SCUM is a next generation, story driven survival game featuring extremely complex game mechanics and unrivaled survival features. Players will get dropped on Bagne de Cayenne penal colony, known as Devil's Island in English, along with 63 other people whose goal will be to survive and escape. SCUM was released into early access on the 29th August and it came out with a bang, becoming the most viewed video game on Twitch at the time.

For example, bulkier characters will be good in fistfights but will lose stamina faster than the lean ones, who will not hit as hard. This will not be just Sims with zombies though, as SCUM will focus on the more visceral parts of gameplay as well. They will have to take care of what their character eats, how they treat their teeth and the trailer above even shows them on a toilet seat. Well, while Serious Sam dealt with monsters, aliens and whatnot, players will have to deal with zombies and giant robots in SCUM, although, this time realistically, for real. SCUM is a ridiculously detailed survival game in development by Gamepires, the people behind Gas Guzzlers Extreme and Croteam, the developer behind another well known realistic franchise - Serious Sam. Summary: SCUM evolves the multiplayer open world survival game with levels of character customization, control, and progression where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival.
