State of Decay is a zombie game that can be downloaded on the Xbox 360 game console from the Xbox Live Arcade. SoD is an open world zombie apocalypse game that does not rely on zombie killing as the main focal point of the game like the Resident Evil and Left 4 Dead series. Instead, the player has to focus on saving other survivors, building communities, farming, and so forth to survive. There is no real story arc but there is a story you can follow if you choose to.
Those that have played the game knows it is far from perfect but still delivers pure entertainment and fun gameplay. The game still has many aspects that needs to be patched and fans have requested DLC to take their zombie killing skills further. Undead Labs, the company behind SoD, released some great news regarding the game via their forums.
The patch is going to fix a lot of problems the players may witness while playing while adding some great features that us fans have been begging for. The list below is what the patch will add to the game.
- “You can now ask a community NPC to follow you and watch your back.
