It's currently in Alpha 18 but I did purchase the game on the 1st of January 2014 during Alpha 5, just before Alpha 6 released. I tried the game in Alpha 5 and enjoyed what was developed up to that point and saw much potential. I left the game for several years but visited briefly from time to time until I think it was Alpha 16 where I started giving it my full attention and invited friends to play on a private server. We are still playing and enjoying it immensely. It's voxel based so everything is destructible, so mining is a big part of the game play. It's a survival game, so health, food, water and the elements play a huge factor. It's a hunting game, so you get to hunt wild life for food and resources. It's a crafting game, so you get to loot from the world as well as harvest and mine resources for manufacturing. It has a skills and perks tree system where you can specialise or generalise any which way you want. It's a building game, so you can create a dwelling, a fortress or a barracks to house yourself and mates but mostly to defend yourself from zombies and wild life. It's a tower defence game, so everything you do in the game is about preparing for the periodic blood moon day, where the hordes of zombies attack your position. It's got bicycles, motorcycles, 4x4s, and a gyrocopter. The maps are huge with every natural biome plus other surprise ones - There is a hand crafted main map plus the option for random generating maps. The game developers - The Fun Pimps, are the best, as they just keep hacking away at the game, year after year updating everything in the game. I love Ark: Survival Evolved with almost 4K hours in that game but this game is something else, even though I only have around 500 hours in 7 Days to Die, I foresee that number growing to a much larger number. There is nothing close to this game with all the elements it has in it. I haven't covered absolutely every details and some of the other interesting aspects of the game like stealth, crop farming, base designing, traders, POIs, etc. I recommend you buy it and enjoy it. Get the two for one deal and then gift it to a friend, as it is even cheaper than buying one copy.
