LifeAfter combines survivalist elements and roleplaying progression into an MMO that defies the simple expectations of mobile gaming. This is an enormous game and one that shows mobile games can present a AAA gaming experience. And while it sticks to the well-worn scenery of a zombie apocalypse, it manages to transform tired ideas into interesting new gameplay systems.

This is largely thanks to a dedicated day and night cycle that helps distinguish PvE from PvP. Daytime is meant for scavenging. Zombies are rare, but you'll need to gather together the resources to survive just a little longer, craft new gear to upgrade your character, and confront both computer-controlled wildlife and player-controlled survivors. Players will need to pay close attention to the time and look for safe places to hunker down, as zombies come out in full force once the sun has set.

But the game isn't just about surviving your way through an apocalypse. It's about thriving. Early players will spend most of their time just trying to get enough weapons and food to live through the next day, but there's a surprisingly robust crafting system in play as well. You can craft anywhere in the world - and while the recipes start off simple, you'll eventually end up building and maintaining at least one safehouse that can be used to show off your personality and your influence. The scale of this game is vast, but NetEase has made sure there's plenty to do in the broken world of their game.
