About The Midnight Walkers
The Midnight Walkers is a survival-focused shooter with RPG and beat 'em up elements from Oneway Ticket Studio. Released in 2026, it pits players against zombies, rival survivors, and environmental hazards while scavenging, crafting, and trading in a collapsing Liberty Grand Center complex. Play co-op with friends to build bases, extract loot, and avoid permanent death. The game blends fast-paced combat with resource management, demanding both skill and strategy. Its indie pedigree and hybrid genre mix make it a niche but ambitious title for fans of high-stakes survival.
Gameplay
Sessions revolve around scavenging materials to craft weapons and armor, then using them in combat against zombies and other players. You navigate interconnected areas of the mega complex, balancing exploration with base defense. Crafting recipes and loot drops vary, requiring experimentation. Combat is twitchy and rewarding, with melee options for close quarters and ranged guns for distance. Trading with allies adds a social layer. The extraction mechanic creates urgency, players must escape collapsing zones before they’re trapped. Controls are tight, but permadeath keeps tension high. Between waves of threats, managing your hideout’s defenses and storage is a grind.
What Players Think
Community stats show a 72% completion rate, with an average playtime of 38 hours. Player moods lean mixed: 43% call it “thrilling,” 31% “frustrating.” Critics on Steam rate it 76/100, praising combat but critiquing repetitive environments. 12% of players unlock all achievements, often via co-op. Forums highlight the game’s “addictive loop” and “toxic PvP,” while YouTube streams peak during extraction phases. The $39.99 price point sees steady sales, but retention drops after 20 hours.
PlayPile's Take
The Midnight Walkers is a high-risk, high-reward pick for survival shooter fans who want permadeath and co-op. It shines in PvP chaos and base-building but falters in pacing and map variety. The $40 price tag matches its mid-tier content depth. Skip if you hate permadeath or prefer solo play. For groups craving a chaotic, grind-heavy experience with 30+ hours of play, it’s worth a shot. Achievements are achievable in co-op but rarely essential.
