Description

Welcome to SCUM Island!

Welcome to SCUM, a ruthless open-world survival game where prisoners are dropped onto a vast, hostile island and forced to survive by any means necessary.

Every decision shapes who you become and how long you last. Scavenge, loot, craft, hunt, build and fight for every advantage as you adapt to a world that wants you dead.

Stay alive. Stay dangerous. Become something harder to kill.

A Survival Game With Teeth

SCUM is built on deep, interconnected survival systems that give every choice weight.

Your health, survival skills, metabolism, and fatigue are all shaped by an intricate progression system that defines how long you last.

But you’re not alone out here. Former contestants re-animated as Puppets shamble across the land, mutated experiments twisted into monsters lurk in the dark, and every other player has the same goal as you: Survive long enough to leave a mark.

Risk-taking, high-stakes and tragedy all make for a great show. In SCUM your actions directly shape how you are perceived through the world’s reputation system.

Team-up or go it alone. SCUM gives you the systems, what you do with them is up to you.

The Island

You're trapped on a vast and dangerous island built for opportunity and discovery, so scavenge what you need and craft what you don’t have.

SCUM’s 225㎢ map is inspired by all aspects of Croatian territory. Sprawling across beautiful Adriatic coastline, lush forests and harsh freezing mountain sides. Explore high-security military zones and hidden corners of the island, all offering something worth claiming or something worth fearing.

The prisoners who look beyond the next meal may begin to understand what’s really going on here, if they live long enough.

If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere.

Do you have what it takes?

This game has too much. I mean i have played many games that have a similar concept but this game just asks for too much. Just starting off going through the first steps was just a mission. Creating a small fire and you need to add so many items to get the fire started. Got to a point I added mods and created my own server. That just ruined the game totally. Would be amazing if it had a story line to it and missions to do. It's just hard-core survival at its extreme.
  • Looks great.
  • Not a good inventory system at all.
  • Needs to be made easier when in inventory.

To be honest, i somewhat regret to buy this game. Overall not a "bad" game, but lack a lot of things and QoL stuff... Game have potential, but the devs idk if they ignore the community wishes or they just incompetent to that. Also why only focus on server side? Please support a bit more SP too, not every1 wanna play online... If you dont mind a kinda lot bugs,glitches, and missing a lot QoL stuffs(what is included in other similar games) then you can buy it.

Also yesterday(2025.07.17) we get a 70mb update, and it take about 40-50 minute to "update" the game files on m2 SSD... WTF with that file management?!?!? xD

So final conclusion: If you dont have high hopes/expectations to the game, and dont mind a toons of lacking things, then you will enjoy it.
  • Open World
  • Survival
  • Decent optimalization
  • No cloud save feature
  • BattleEye forced on you, even in Sandbox mode(Singleplayer)
  • Character customizations kinda limited, especially with the camera rotation.

Scum has started with a wonderful development, a real interest of the developers in their players and in regular intervals, new great content and very fast bug fixes.

At the moment, and unfortunately for ever, a purchase is absolutely not advisable, as the game is currently not playable.

At the time, it was probably the most realistic survival game on the market (vitamin requirements, balanced eating/drinking habits, different types of food). Disease and impairment systems...) is developing more and more into a mixture of Left4Dead2 and an online MMORPG.

The bunker update, which brought a new OP puppet/mech with integrated god mode, was questionable, but didn't have much impact on the game experience, as everyone was free to use and raid these bunkers or leave them out of their game experience.

I also remember very well when, in my early hours of SCUM, I fled into a house from the Puppets, left the house and not a minute later became the delicious lunch of a hungry wolf.... well, but that was once upon a time, because a very over-motivated developer was probably of the opinion that wild animals are surreal in a world and can only be tracked down by "actively accepting missions".

With the new update, where puppets (zombies) spawn around you randomly and by random generation, sometimes every second (imagine you clean an area and a few seconds later, garbage appears again in the area you just cleaned) and a "horde function", which can be quite nice and adds excitement, this game title is more like a budding Left4Dead2 or 7DaysToDie. If the developers' goal is to reach this level, then they are well on their way.

Unfortunately, due to these changes and innovations, the game is anything but worthy of its hype at the time and a purchase is definitely not recommended!

Do not buy the game!!! It will not be possible to play at the moment. Wait for an update from the developers or a downgrade solution before version 0.95.
  • Sehr große Karte
  • Kontinuierlicher neuer Content
  • "Realistisch"
  • Seit Version 0.95 nicht mehr spielbar
  • Permanentes, willkürliches spawnen von KI-Gegner (Puppets)
  • Entwickler beheben nur wenige Fehler/Bugs und gehen nicht auf Community ein

I highly recommend everyone who loves this genre of game to try it, and believe me, you won't regret buying this game.........

You will encounter af bugs.

Swimming bug (bigger bodies of water beware you are more likely to die and you can not recover your body in water so beware cause it's like an unseen force you get pulled/dragged deeper into the water and will not be able to get out in time)

melee (the hitboxes are horrible at times)

The stats when creating a character a lot of them are not yet implemented

but what gets me is that the game implements an odd random chart of your created character

blood type - flawed habits (which is always the same apparently no matter whichever you create your character) and what crime you've committed, etc

I've played this game in 2018 though I had to refund the game back then cause there was a lot of issues with it but now not so much
  • Game is progressing slowly but nicely and surely
  • A lot of bugs and issues (still in early access)
  • Going into water is a death trap
  • Weapon degrade way to fast

The game is fun af, but alone it gets kinda boring. Highly recommend it with friends

It is also the most realistic survival game I ever played, so if you are into that kind of stuff definitly buy it!

The character creation is dope af and makes you kinda of connected with them.

It has lots of good things too, and like everygame, it has bad things too
  • The developers really care about the players
