About This Game

HKO: Advanced Survival is an open-world survival experience that combines exploration, construction, resource management, tactical combat, and cooperative multiplayer.

Stranded across a remote archipelago, you must explore dangerous islands, gather resources, build shelters, improve your equipment, and survive against the mysterious creatures known as the Penitents. Discover abandoned facilities, hidden landmarks, roaming traders, and valuable supplies while uncovering the secrets of the islands.

Whether you prefer to build a secure base, customize your weapons, explore with a deployable drone, or venture into hostile territory in search of rare loot, every decision affects your chances of survival.

Key Features:

• Explore multiple islands filled with forests, beaches, rivers, lakes, settlements, and abandoned locations.

• Build and customize structures using a flexible construction system with free placement and grid snapping options.

• Gather resources from the environment, including wood, stone, and valuable supplies.

• Store, organize, and manage your equipment in dedicated weapon and item storage systems.

• Customize and upgrade firearms with attachments, visual modifications, and performance improvements.

• Use drones and map markers to safely scout dangerous areas.

• Trade with traveling merchants whose locations and available items change over time.

• Face intelligent and agile enemies known as the Penitents, capable of quickly overwhelming unprepared survivors.

• Experience realistic environmental systems including weather effects, weapon condition, and survival mechanics.

PHANTOM RUNNER

Team up with up to four players in a cooperative survival scenario set within a city overrun by Penitents.

Stranded and cut off from help, your team must search for fuel, engine oil, vehicle parts, and power generators in order to repair a truck and escape before the city consumes you. Cooperation, resource management, and careful planning are essential to survive.
