Huge upgrade compared to the previous series' installment, with brand new dissapointments! First -- the good. Combat is fluid and satisfying. Player progression is real. Sprint actually works. The game adopted a looter-shooter-ish mechanic of obtaining new gear, which is not bad at all with the chosen multipliers -- even freshly-dropped weapons are all usable, and upgrading them to max is uncostly. You can also easily pick brand new weapon or armor in between each mission with how lucrative the earnings are. And about weapons -- we've gotten melee! Dual wielding! All the standard game stuff has arrived! Level design has also gotten MUCH better and I haven't met the deadlock problem anymore. Skill trees with varied options are a very welcome addition. The ship's environments are also a bit more varied now. Overally, it's a nicely done and pleasing, even if not special by any means, shooter with zombies aboard a spaceship. The plot... oh girl, the plot. It goes fine, and then it's cut. Abruptly. In the middle of a sentence. And you're presented with "Purchase DLC to continue" screen. It's not a classic example of "get fake ending with basegame and real ending with the DLC". No no no, that'd be relatively pretty. It's a "so there's no ending at all for you, give us 5€ to continue the plot". So I did what I shouldn't have done -- bought the DLC, and as much as I was expecting another cliffhanger, the plot was actually finished. Uff. The DLC itself seems to have been created as an afterthought after development of the third game was gutted, so while this is kind of an excuse, then... my dear Andraste, who releases a game without ANY ENDING and leaves it like that for four years ? Anyways. There is a lot of post-game activies where you can just shoot zombies mindlessly on the same levels that were used for campaign, which easily doubled the amount of hours I spent in this game. ~10 hours for main plot, ~15 hours for maxing most of the stuff + 90% achievement progress -- unfortunately there are two achievements that are the kind of "hey deary, please play the game for another dozen hours, thank you" that I'd pass on. As bittersweet as the DLC wall made me feel, I'd still give this a recommendation, cause I had twenty-few hours of pleasant gameplay.

A true mobile to pc port that is actually true to the core! Yes, by pc standard, the game is outdated but if we are to look at games that are being ported from mobile to pc, this one takes the cake. Had a blast, will recommend to try out the VR version if you have or got one!

Just Grab any one gun that you like and pick a skill(universal pull) and healer OFC its name is different in game by this two combos you can complete this whole game without loosing your 1% health cuz game have many bugs so i use universal pull to climb up on any objects in game and kill the zombies and if you pick any higher place then all zombies kill by itself so its plus point. Game is good for time pass buy this on sales would be better deal. I like this game guns different then the other games.

This game plays like a slavic version of doom 3, a bit clunky, but as a millenialboomer it's in a way that scratches an itch that most games don't bother with. guns are loud and punchy, this game feels like something I would play back in 2008 on an old CRT until way too late at night. good job
