Nether: Resurrected is a post-apocalyptic urban survival game released in 2014 that blends action, RPG, and massively multiplayer mechanics.

Enemy scaling and loot drops on death amplify the tension, while demonic mutants swarm relentlessly through environments. Squad play is essential for survival, with tribes forming to hold territory and scavenge together. Reviewers highlight the atmospheric and bleak mood, noting that maps feel vast and immersive but the constant player-versus-player tension and brutal difficulty make every encounter dangerous. The experience currently holds a 38% positive rating from 8,499 Steam reviews.
