Imo, it seems to be a mix of Day-Z (zombie survival game) and Jagged Alliance (the looks of the game).

Something tells me that there will be rather hard to survive in “Deadly Years”.

And now that ZeroByte has finally released some gameplay videos (there were no videos some months back) for “Dead Years”. You can somewhat get the idea what the game will look (and feel) like.

And now that i have watched some of the videos for “Dead Years”.  I have to say that my “Day-Z meets Jagged Alliance” description, wasn’t all that far off.

Anyhow, “Dead Years” will come to either indiegogo or Kickstarter in the near future. So keep your eyes open for it!

The Game
Dead Years is an indie zombie survival game. It takes place six months after the initial outbreak. You are one of the few remaining survivors, exploring the wastelands with the only friend you have left, your dog.

Gameplay
Explore. Scavenge. Survive. With hundreds of locations to discover, you will be able to walk along abandoned highways, go downtown in small and large cities, explore the zombie infested countryside and much more. You will have to scavenge for ammunitions, canned food and weapons. But don’t go out there wearing a t-shirt! Craft your own armor with the materials you can find and make sure nothing manages to bite you!

The dog
Your dog is part of the team! He saved your life countless times and he knows how to fight zombies. He’s quick, stealthy, deadly. He also gains his own levels and skill points. Teach him the abilities you want. Have him fight at your side in melee combat or train him as a stealthy assassin running in the shadows without being seen and going for the head. You will always be out there as a team, both working together and helping each other.
