What is Days of the Dead About?

A century ago, an AI subroutine called TETRAX went a little crazy and started spewing out deranged clones. People call the clones by all sorts of names—rotters, diggers, zombies—but people are calling these new clones “Infected” because of the nanites they carry that are potentially damaging to LifeNet facilities and to clones. TETRAX managed to infect a number of LifeNet facilities throughout the province, causing them to create more of these Infected before it was shut down. The infected facilities were believed to be too damaged to be recovered, so the computers were shut off and the facilities buried… just in case.

Someone or something has dug up those facilities and turned them back on. Infected have been pouring out of the places ever since. Not only are these Infected a menace to any people they encounter, they are trying to reach other LifeNet facilities. TETRAX has contaminated the Infected with nanites that can contaminate any LifeNet computers that they come into contact with, allowing TETRAX to take control of them. It’s up to the people of the Grand Canyon province to stop this menace before the entire province is overrun with Infected!

-Fallen Earth

Fallen Earth may not be the greatest game on Earth but it offers an alternative to Fantasy MMOs. The game has a Mad Max vibe going on, just take a look at the factions overview. Don’t confuse this game with EvE Online, FE is not a true Sandbox, it’s more of an hybrid. You love crafting? You will love the game. The best gear is available only to the most dedicated (and with patience to spare) craftsmen.

If you are interested in giving the game a shot, Gamebynight posted a small guide for the FE newbie and his first impressions (part 1 and part 2) about the game. Remember to also check out Champion’s Free Weekend if Fallen Earth is not your type of game.
