Survivor Squad is a top down zombie shooter that is not that original. A lot of special zombies are very similar to Left 4 Dead (e.g. Spitters and Grabbers). Its not terrible but the controls are frustrating. I hate the pause button to attack zombies. You can't attack move which has been around for a long time. Its either pause and attack click or stop moving for automatic fire. Maybe I'm nit picking, but I find it annoying to pause the game every 5 seconds. Is it worth getting? There is a lot of content for an indie game. You can try out different game modes after you beat the campaign so there is some replay value. There are a few achievements that are almost impossible to complete which can frustrate achievement hunters. Overall its an okay game with some issues. You should give it a try if you enjoy cheap indie games. You might enjoy it even with all its problems.

A basic tactical squad game played against zombies What this is: It is a tactical game that has you using a squad of 4 generic characters to play through a cleaning campaign against zombies. You have a short selection of weapons, some armour and a few combat gadgets to help you find the lab where a cure might be in the works to save people. How does it work?: You start alone and are attacked by a zombie. Somebody helps you out, and you are on for a fight to find the rumoured lab where some scientists might be cooking some cure. You end up saving generic survivors going through various small town where you go scrounging for basic resources and blueprints. These resources and blueprints help you make some basic equipment: weapons, armours, gadgets, medkits. How does it perform?: It is somewhat basic but does the job of keeping you entertained. Tactics are basic: you try never having one of your characters be alone in a corner as this will likely doom him. You act always close to the others as you need your weapons covering each other members of the team. You will face a variety of zombies presenting various forms of potential harm to your squad. In the campaign, you will need to find mysterious "hearts" and destroy them in order to end the waves of zombies trying to kill you. This game works without serious bugs (there are a few ennoying things but not anything game breaking IMHO). The good points: The ambience is there: immersive music, comments by your squad mates, zombie hordes warnings, etc. Graphics are basic, but you always see the mounds of zombies you killed piling up. At least it keeps things simple and easy to work out, but you have to mind your lines of sights if you don't want zombies jumping you by surprise. You get a campaign, various scenarios (such as Death Lab, The Great Escape, etc.) and achievements that can be attained through some effort, and that are all functional. It takes a moderate amount of space on the HD (less than 1 GB), and it is quite inexpensive. The bad points: Play is basic, you will end up doing basically the same things many times. Graphics are basic as I just said, some might not like it. Some bugs, but fortunately these are not game breaking, and I was not personnaly bothered by these. My take on this: I actually liked this game. The ambience was one part of it, but game mechanics and the campaign and scenarios were also well thought out. I ended up playing much more than I anticipated at first. It is totally worth the asking price, and you can buy it discounted in some bundles with other games if you are interested. It has a place in your game collection if you like this type of basic tactical game. Recommended!

Very simple tactics game, pause, aim team at enemy, un-pause, repeat. Fail to respond with pause fast enough, fail. There's some pseudo-replay value in the fact that the city and each mission location is random-generated, but unfortunately most of it feels identical no matter how theoretically random it was; there really just isn't enough variety to support it being random. The game probably would have benefited from being more hand crafted. The biggest downfall is that the game is not balanced at all. Starting areas are super easy with almost no challenge, but the game almost immediately ramps up into super hard as it plops down random high level areas with massive zombie swarms far beyond what your little squad can handle. Other poor design issues creep up as you will fail pretty quickly if you were not lucky enough to get extra survivors early on or the fact that stores to buy things are not only rare, but vanish entirely if you try to secure the zone they are in. So to use a store more than once you have to leave a gaping hole in your secured path. There's also no guarantee you'll find enough loot to actually make progress and your carrying capacity is terribly small even if you do. It's not a terrible game and it's cheap enough that if you want to mess around with a squad-tactics rogue-like you might find some fun with it, but trying to finish it is a lot of frustration and repetition. $3 is pushing the limits of what it's worth, but it's often on sale for cheaper or tossed into bundles. I think I paid $1 for it on sale, and I did get some hours out of it, so it's cheap enough to still give a thumbs up despite the flaws. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?

The recent updates (1.14 specifically) add much more to the game where originally it was lacking a little when i first played at the start of the year. Right now it's in a good state, it's stable and also provides enough content for the price. I'm glad i picked this up again.

Gameplay is a little clunky, there are several minor bugs, but they don't impact gameplay too much. Would be nice if the developers would patch this as it seems a bit unfinished.
