really don't understand the mixed reviews, i haven't played a ton but it's super fun and while the translations and gameplay can be janky at times, it didn't detract from my enjoyment. i guess the price could be a bit much for some, but just wait for a sale and buy it. overall, pretty cool game and i hope it keeps getting worked on and improved
I actually enjoy this game-- it gives purpose in missions, has a generous inventory system that expands, crafting, difficulty (with some hordes and panicked NPCs), and more. I like the squad system, too, giving you some freedom to have a bodyguard or two along the way. The only complaint I have is that the world and map feels crowded, and so I lose my way very easily. If the map had a way to label places (I haven't seen it if there is), it would be a little better. Right now I am trying to find a safe place to build item chests, and have made my way back to the college, but there's no good place to really call my own amidst all the students. For being out for what... 1.5 years, and done by smaller dev/publisher, I think they did a pretty good job with their vision. 8.5 / 10 ,, Not bbad at all. Just SUPER crowded lol.
Surprisingly Great Zombie Experience I honestly had a blast with this game. I ended up spending way more hours playing than I expected because it’s just genuinely fun. If you're on the fence because of the negative reviews, I’d say give it a chance — it might surprise you like it did me. As someone who’s been playing zombie/action games for years, I’ve seen pretty much every variation of the genre. This one feels different — but in a good way. It doesn’t just copy the usual formula. The gameplay loop is engaging, combat feels satisfying, and there’s enough tension and action to keep things interesting the whole time. Yes, the main storyline felt a bit short for me, but what’s there is well done. The story has heart, and it stands out from other zombie titles that often rely on the same predictable themes. It brings something fresh to the genre while still delivering that classic zombie-action fun. Pros: • Fun and addictive gameplay • Solid combat mechanics • Unique take on the zombie genre • Memorable story moments Cons: • Story could have been longer Overall, if you enjoy zombie or action games, this is definitely worth your time. Don’t let the negativity overshadow what’s actually a very enjoyable experience. Recommended. 👍
i dont really get the negative reivews, i think the dev's doing something interesting here and actually a bit unique compared to alot of other zombie games that have been in the limelight for a while now. the visual style especially is rather unique and looks really bleak and foreboding. kinda wish there was a tutorial that was seperate from the long 'prologue' though.
