Unturned is currently in its third generation. The game's maps are based on real locations.

With the release of the game, another map appeared, which is based on Germany . As a finished game, it was officially released on July 7, 2017.

reception

Kotaku called Unturned as one of the most popular games in the middle of 2014 and held the success for unexpected since the game was developed by one person. PC Gamer describes the game as a simple survival simulator that you can enjoy if you can see beyond the graphics. The Gamestar makes to the success of the game, neither the graphics nor the "genre mix" responsible and sees these things more as a deterrent to. The game should therefore be viewed more as an independent comic game world and not as competition to genre representatives such as DayZ , Rust , H1Z1 and ARK: Survival Evolved . The standard sees the success of the game in the fact that it is free of charge, the general curiosity of the players to discover the world and the distribution on the Internet through web videos .

The game has been described by Chip Online as a mix of Minecraft and DayZ . The game received a user score of 7.8 on Metacritic . On Steam, 90% of users rated the game positively (as of September 2019).
