Rust is a fast-paced survival game that lets you play with up to 300 different people at a time.

When it comes to survival games, it will be tough to find any titles that can stand up to Rust. This cross-genre game has an incredible amount of depth, and you are sure to get lost in it for hours. The primary goal of this game is to survive a zombie apocalypse, and you are going to need every tool at your disposal if you want to outsmart and outrun a horde of bloodthirsty enemies. Here is a quick look at just a few of the unique features that this eye-catching game has to offer.

At the start of each game, you are dropped on a huge island with nothing more than a few tires, a torch, and a stone. You will then need to come up with a plan if you want to avoid hordes of zombies, packs of wild animals, and other players who have been dropped on the same island. Some servers allow for up to 300 players per match, but most games have between 50 and 100 players depending on what time of day you are playing. While that amount of players might seem excessive, the island is extremely large, and you should be able to find a private corner if you are more interested in hiding than fighting.

Many different strategies can be used to survive in this game, and you will need to determine what kind of tactics are going to work for you. Some players focus on gathering materials so that they can make strong shelters and powerful weapons. Others immediately set out to stalk those gatherers so that they can take all of their materials by force. If you would like to rely on stealth, then you can simply wait until a player leaves their shelter. Once they are gone, you can use any number of tricks to break into the shelter and steal their goods.

The perfect blending of multiple genres is Rust's biggest strength. You can head off into the wilderness with your friends to create an impenetrable base or quietly stalk other players in the shadows. With so many options, this game has excellent replayability. The graphics are stunning as well, and each area of the island has its own unique look and feel. From frozen tundras to thick jungles, you are never going to get bored with the various environments.

If you are tired of traditional building and survival games, then you might want to try out Rust. This game has quite a bit to offer, and it is unlike any other title on the market.
