60 of 117 · most liked firstI already had a fully built base, only needed upgrades. Had people join my camp too - hired them as workers. There are plenty of UI bugs. Combat is mediocre - you can defeat anything the game throws at you as soon as you have a basic axe / bow. Survival is very easy, there's plenty of food and water. You immediately find several cars. The map is very basic and empty. Building your camp feels very mobile-game like. You have predefined location and purposes and you just gather the required…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was quite 'meh' and then abandoned. Hopefully there's a special place in hell for Developers that take your cash and do a runner. You try to help development by throwing some cash their way but just get shat upon.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As Zombie Survival game fan... The idea has potential but right now in EA everything is just way too simple. The 'tutorial' is a series of quests that tell you to fetch resources to get a start on your base but it doesn't actually teach you anything. The crafting is a little janky but that's alright, and survivor management is a little lame. Zombies are pushovers (even the specials); this is probably a really good experience for casual players but it's just not for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not recommend buying this dead game. No refunds available. The developer promised updates, but the last one was in 2024. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developer left DO NOT BUY

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Appears to be another Cash Grab EA game. I have hundreds of EA games and normally do not review a game BUT this needs to be told so people do not waist cash. No updates since June 5th 2024 when Dev said it would be weekly updates, When called out on not seeing weekly updates the Dev changed and said monthly updates. Well last update was June 5th it is now July 9th and no updates. In fact the Dev has not even posted since the Dev posted on my post about the game. My post that points out a lot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned. No update since 2024.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Called it once, twice and i'll say it a 3rd time.. THESE DEVS ARE VERY WELL KNOW TO ABANDON THEIR GAMES! - Hope you people in discord with the collective of 1 brain cell listen next time. So glad i refunded on the 2nd day once i found out who they were.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FEBRUARY 2026 UPDATE ABANDONED GAME - DO NOT BUY. Yet another POS "game developer" who took peoples money and abandoned their "game". Original Review: This game is not ready for release. It has many bugs, the most frustrating of which is when you start bringing new survivors into your camp to work for you. There is a bug that prevents the assigned survivor from completing tasks that are queued together. For example if I ask the survivor to craft me one piece of coal they do so without any…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I started the game and after playing for 9 hours I saved so that I could reload and get rid of a graphical issue (building not updating). After reloading my main save, I had rolled back to several hours before. My technology went back down two tiers, my guns and armors are gone as well as my materials. What's the point of releasing a game in early access if it doesn't have the ability to SAVE? I'm completely gutted and there's absolutely nothing I can do to get my save back or get a refund.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full of bugs + even my save is no more, now its not even starting. after 7hrs of game play they wont refund. no update after dec-2024.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No updates posted in discord since Dec 2024. Last I played it was broken but a great concept. Admin insists there will still be updates, but slower. We will see. Its a shame, because bones had potential and I enjoyed it despite the pain. I will change my review if I see updates coming in again and progress made. :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →State of decay with survival elements Gameplay : https://youtu.be/OLS68KB0ppI +With different perks and skill system different gameplay options + Npc management in your camp + Good craft and modify system + Reasonable Difficulty - Nights too dark needs update
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early access but havent updated in 9+ months. (Last update december 2024, a hotfix. ) Loved the demo but this seems like abandonware. Sad to know that we spend all that money for a this...... a game they dont care about anymore? Save your money (maybe wait and hope they come back to the game) or get State of Decay 2.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was fun. This is a pretty good survival game, with cool graphics and intensive gameplay. My friend and I were looking for a game to play and decided to try this one. And as fans of 7DTD, we really liked it. The gameplay itself is very interesting and dynamic, constantly exploring new locations and looting things. Also, a huge number of weapons and enemies will not let you get bored. And the building system allow you to create a really cool base. Overall, this is a very fun game, of course…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game in hopes more would be added. Boy was I wrong. Save Your Money. It is fun for maybe an hour or several if you have never played it. Then you want to play something else to say the least.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is really enjoyable and entertaining. It's a quiet game. Considering that it is an early access game, it has a structure that is quite open to development. I can say that it is a game that you can have fun with your friends with its multiplayer option.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I gave it a try despite all the negative reviews, it all went well until i upgraded the whole base to lvl 2 and loaded up the save next day, quests broke, cannot complete them even though i have the item, inventory started bugging out (items going out of the boxes for the backpack + somehow i duplicated the alcohol i had in my inventory) It is a decent game, love the concept and all, but it is a bit too easy once you get a pistol/medium backpack, just hoard everything sell it and you'll be set…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't even know what to give this a recommend or not.. probably not, but I do enjoy the game; because I personally enjoy the game, I will give it a thumbs up out of support. I think it has massive potential, it is like a mix of SurrounDead, with State of Decay. It has amazing potential. If the developer(s) reading this.. please continue, don't give up. It's such a shame to be left abandoned (if true). Small incremental development and keeping us updated would ease the doubt.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, it reminds me of State of Decay a ltitle bit. Relaxing to rip around gathering loot, shooting zombies with a Bow and Arrow and building buildings at the base, getting others for the base,etc.. It is all quite fun. Needs a little bit of work as far as graphics and animations go, but so far it is fun, hope the devs work on this for awhile and keep improving it. Great start imo. Not sure why some others are leaving negative reviews, seems pretty fun and pretty much exactly what it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first thing that stands out in Taora is its visual design. The game's visual design is such that it remains simple yet captivating in its own right. The world is big and immersive and offers plenty to see. There are plenty of settlements you can find to further upgrade your own and find enemy camps you can raid and get materials and even more for yourself. The gameplay in itself is rather simple. You craft, scavenge, shoot weapons, and deal with zombies, a perfect game right? To make…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wont work on steam deck
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As of right now this game is a good time passer. It kept me and my wife busy for a few days until we came to an abrupt halt. We got everything in our base to level 3 (which didn't take long) and there's not much to do after that. The game doesn't have a story mode or actual objectives besides right in the beginning where it's just kinda showing you how to play and guide you in the right direction. The game definitely needs some work but the devs are headed in the right direction with this one.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly this game is pretty good, defo unique! im looking forward to the future of the game, ive done an early access video on this game and i will do a release video and for 10 quid.... this game is a must to pick up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to get a refund, because I had played for two hours, and came back a day or two later to it, only to find that my save file was from the beginning of the game, and the autosave was only the first night. I had gotten several days in. There was no way I was gonna risk playing a bunch again, only for my progress to NOT be saved. So, I cannot recommend this. It had so much potential too, but reading the community discussions, and bug reports, this game is apparently abandoned with false hope…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very light game, you can have fun with a friend without any stress. The saddest thing is that you can fall under the map in any random place, but I think the game will be fixed in early access. The game has potential, we are waiting for corrections and map expansions, as well as the addition of new zombies to make it more difficult! So big like!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thoroughly enjoying this game. The positives are it is a chill zombie survival game with base building with ample guns and ammunition enough to cull the walking dead. It's got cars that have gas in them- including my favorite that looks like a dodge charger. On the negative side, this is still in early access so there are bugs. I've had some things disappear from storage and zombie bodies disappear in front of me. Not everything works 100% - but hey, it's still in early access. I recommend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Taora's multiplayer game isn't ready for release yet, but has been released - far too early, and there are far too many bugs. The game is great fun to play, in single or multi player, but the list of bugs right now (July '24) is (almost) as long as the game code. Hopefully this will all be resolved.. but that takes time and money - and people who are prepared to pay for an early release version of a game. Don't get me wrong, the multiplayer game is highy playable, and it doesn't take to long to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Similar to other polyzombie games (deadpoly, surroundead) in the modeling and feel, but has a unique building/crafting style and you can bring NPCs to automate crafting as long as the materials are in the chest. At this time you can only build in the pre-allocated spots in your base and upgrade them as you gather materials in order to add survivors to work for you which decreases the crafting time. Your survivors that you recruit to work in your base have different hunger/thirst/stamina…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For this price, this is a joke, the world feels really empty, I got bored pretty darn quickly and I mostly see copied assets everywhere and the most recent update fixed none of the issues I had addressed, one of which being pretty serious and mechanic breaking. There are no 4 playable characters as I can see. Unique areas are few and far between. And honestly, it feels like there is no set goal ahead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have not played this much but from what I have seen there is far more to like then not. As you can see in many of my reviews when I find a game like this that I know is a potential gem I must review it soon just to give my limited opinion so far, in this case it is a nice mellow paced game with some unexpected game mechanics that were a very welcome surprise. My other reviews that start like this have never failed to turn into anything less then a massive amount of hours and enjoyment.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, we play with friends as they promised. The developer team is in constant feedback. Bugs and innovative ideas provide support. In general, it does not tire you at all while playing games and plays nice music while relaxing. negatives ; - Music may change during fights. - More difficult missions can be added. - It was difficult to understand while developing the Base, but once I figured out how it works, things became much easier. You can manage the items you need to craft. - I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad little survival game, has everything you want crafting, killing, the numbers go up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned game with good potential. Bugged. Low optimization. Aborted quest-line. Short leveling system. Poor battle-system. Stupid AI-bots. Daft grinding achievements, plus some of them don`t count. Some screenshots and gifs here - fake: no good atmosferic light system into buildings and no manual build. Another adandoned game. Don`t buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing new asset-flipp - obviously few minutes in the game is enough
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Taora: Survival offers a thrilling open-world experience with its unique character progression and crafting system. Building and upgrading your base to survive the zombie apocalypse feels incredibly rewarding. The world is immersive, and the gameplay loop keeps you hooked for hours. If you love survival games with depth, Taora is a must-try!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great start, looking forward to the final product!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Taora : Survival has vastly improved from when I played Taora : Beginning back in the day. The game has a good price point, graphics, sound and is fun. Now get your friends together, and start enjoying the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Blockhead APPROVED!!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, it has all the elements needed for a really fun survival zombie game. However, it unfortunately has too many negative elements at the moment for me to genuinely say it's worth playing. I streamed this game live, and my chat and I both agreed that this game has a long way to go before any of them would consider playing it themselves. It took me three tries of force closing and re-opening the game to even get it to load properly. The start of the game is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun but broke as hell which is confusing because it's broken in ways the prologue/demo wasn't. Reloading my gun freezes halfway through and then blocks me out of doing any actions until I reload my save. Getting in and out of a car doesn't change it but it just redid the same thing after loading on hitting reload again so it's not a rare issue. There are objects around like ammo crates and boxes that are closed and should be lootable but don't indicate at all and you're often…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As long as the gamer in question can embrace the jank, I can easily reccomend this game. There are many like it. But it's cheap enough that it's hard to argue you won't get a decent night or even a weekends worth of game out of this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very light game, with a friend without tension can have fun. The saddest thing is that you can fall under the map in any random place, but the game is in early access, I think they will fix. The game has potential, waiting for fixes and map expansion, also adding new zombies to complicate!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly like the game. I never played the demo but just purchased it and enjoying it very much. My weapons have attachments not loading onto them and then just vanishing that is annoying. But it is early access. Weird how I cannot swap characters in main game as I have seen others play in demo. Also not seen a air drop yet. But I have only scratched the surface of game and as a zombie survival it's quite fun to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would say the game is fun if it didnt crash all the time trying to load in to the world.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chill survival game to play with the fam to get them to learn the basics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the price alone the game is worth it. I wasn't sure what to expect with this game since I saw the Prologue do pretty well. First off having an early access game that I launch on an Ultra-wide and it just works, the game runs well I love the music and am having fun. I have seen a lot of reviews that don't seem to account for the price or the fact it's far more feature complete than other games charging far more. I rarely post reviews but little games like this deserve it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Game. It has a lot of potential for growing. Also playing with friends could be fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good, but need update asap!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried this game when the demo comes out and now i got the chance to play it at the EA Phase Taora is a potential game, it has good lowpoly visual, simple gameplay & combat mechanism, but it is not perfect, there are still some bugs that maybe can disrupt your gameplay or UI and then you must restart the game. I can tolerate it cuz it's still in EA and need a lot work to do.. I think Taora is for gamer who loves zombie survival games but they aren't having high PC's specs. Still a fun game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclosure: I received a free review copy of this product from https://www.keymailer.com It is still VERY early doors for Taora: Survival, which shows potential, but still feels thin on the ground. The hour or so I played was fairly relaxing and the Zombies never really felt like a threat as they would lose aggro easily and never launched an attack on the base. The opening tutorial feels a little overkill and doesn't really follow any logic, as its just takes you through gaining materials to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Taora is an ambitious survival sandbox that blends familiar genre pillars—crafting, base building, exploration, and combat—into a character-driven experience set on a zombie-infested island. Developed by Tulpar Games and released in Early Access, the game presents itself as a long-form survival project that prioritizes systemic depth and player agency over tightly scripted storytelling. From the outset, it signals its intent to let players carve their own path, balancing the constant pressure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very fun, I liked the progression, the skill system, the base is very cool, when you can improve the camp, it will be even better. I've played several survival games like State of Decay, DayZ, Rust, and Infestation. Some things that would be cool to have in the game and that I believe would work in any survival game: 1 - More zombie variations: explosive, acid-spitting, fast, small, radioactive, capable of moving around the map. 2 - More human enemies: patrolling in pickup trucks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love it good job.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is Playable but needs tons and tons of updates.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, for company with friends, you can, there is something to do for long hours of play, interesting combat
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game like it but dont drive into the water it breaks the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game but it is very buggy. Stuff just disappears a lot: cars, zombies, loot, etc. Please fix the bugs. Multiplayer is very buggy too. Can't get water from the base if you are a guest, can't even get back in a friends game after you were just in there. Needs A LOT of work but does have potential. At this point I will give it a positive review because it seems as though the devs are updating and working on it. If that stops and no bug fixes are being done, I will go back and change it.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's one of zombie survival crafting games that's on the more relaxing side, so be on the lookout for this one if that is your jam. Needs some polish, but that's expected for a game that's in early stages of EA, but currently presents a nice foundation that can be built upon into something interesting.
