What players say
Shattered PD gamer for 5 years. Degradation, different items and other things make this a very different game but this was fun too.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
First played this on mobile and absolutely worth the play time. Still just as difficult though!
Classic, but not recommended for purchase. You can play its various modded versions on your phone-no need to play the Vanilla version on computer.
