Desperation Server Hosting, Explained
New to Desperation?
What is Desperation?
Desperation is a first-person survival game. You are an elite soldier, tasked to survive in an unknown location. You scavenge for materials, food and water, craft weapons, tools and gear, and build and upgrade a base, while zombies, killer robots, beasts and other players come for you. Raid other bases, defend your own, and decide whether to go it alone or group up.
Build and Raid.
Build a shelter, upgrade it into a base, and raid the bases of other players.
Solo or Together.
Take your chances alone, or group up with others to survive.
