Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now

As this game is cheap i will cut it some slack however these points annoyed me.

1. Guns somehow become weaker as you upgrade them or enemies become more spongy, I cant tell.

2. Weapon upgrades are seriously expensive for context you get about $300 to $500 per level but lvl 1 upgrades start at $300 and go up $200 each time.

3. Boss enemies are massive bullet sponges and eat up all your ammo, for context if the starter weapon didn't have infinite ammo this game would be extremely difficult likely earning a "resource management" tag.

4. When close to death your screen becomes black and white, normally I wouldn't care but most enemies are much darker in color which is a clever design feature for each level but given the darker colors of about 70% of the enemies it means the game gets significantly harder the closer you are to death because they blend in 10x better into the environment which is dark to begin with.

5. The MC you play as is weirdly cringe too, the backstory we get is basically hes just some dude but somehow he has a bad case of main character syndrome. Hes so angsty but weirdly optimistic at the same time like some sort of nihilistic optimist.

6. The story doesn't really make much sense, you start out running from zombie then it seems like the MC is both interested in drifting about like a tumble weed but somehow focused on saving the world or perhaps has a death wish I don't really know.

7. Characters assume a lot about your character after only meeting you once its weird for example you help some random guy at a farm to get rid of the bug queen boss and there's no thanks its more or less just saying you're better off dead because you're a bad dude its so weird.

cool game

[quote]SHORT REVIEW : a simple top-down action shooter with a lot of zombies and blood, nice graphics, a cheap story and quite a cheap price. Classic mechanics of its genre, wort few hours of carefree fun, better if on sale.[/quote]

> Gameplay ( 6.5 / 10 ) : shooting to everything moves in the dark. Mechanics are very simple and revolve around using the mouse to point and shoot and the keyboard for movement while cleaning each level by killing every zombie and finding some rare collectables. The game has a few variety of weapons and can game can be fun at the beginning, but boring after few hours.

> Story ( 5.0 / 10 ) : it's the basic same plot you can find in every zombie apolaypse setting. Story is quite boring and it's just a weak attempt to give game a reason to be.

> Aesthetics ( 7.0 / 10 ) : game looks really good. Locations and effects are nice and it's cool that many objects in the game can be destroyed with nice animations. Weather and lighting are a bit poor compared to game assets, but generally the aesthetic is quite enjoyable.

> Audio ( 6.6 / 10 ) : sound effects and music are good and contribute to a good immersion. However it would have been better with more diversity.

> Difficulty ( 6.0 / 10 ) : game doesn't offer much challenge, but in some cases you will need more than few attempts to complete a level.

> Overall Rating ( 6.2 / 10 ) <

Amazing game! Huge potential to remaster GTA (1997) in this style!

This game is absolutely amazing! This style of game is like a breath of fresh air these days. Too bad it lacks online deathmatch with global leaderboards.
Please make the game like the old GTA from 1997 and add online deathmatch with global leaderboards. This style of games is missing in today's video game scene!

its not a bad game. think hotline miami with zombies. the gameplay is solid and the enemy encounters provide a fun challenge. the story isnt terrible, but the trilby/fedora wearing edgelord protagonist is really cringe.

Excellent action shooter with nice graphics, cool weapons and lots of opportunities to lay waste to hordes of zombies.

Great

Probably the best zombie game I've played. The game really does scratch your brain

cool game

it was fun

i really don't care for top down games but i love Zombie games so i decided to give the game a try and i wasn't disappointed. My only peeve was that for such a cool game it was just way too short. A few more levels with bosses would have been nice.

Surprisingly ok.

So far so good, I'm just 1h into the game, and I admit I didn't expect the game to be this carefully crafted.

Despite not being overly pretentious as a game, it has a very curated Max Payne vibe on it.

The writing, in particular, is very good, not something I would have expected in the slightest.

I'll update the review when I finish it but, for now, why not give a shotout to the developers anyway? :)

UPDATE: not bad. Git gets a bit too cheesy for my taste at the end, but it's definitely a work of love by the developers

Quite Fun and simple, and can be challenging.

Discord mod in a zombie apocalypse

great story good action

I got this game for $1. It's pretty fun for a cheap game. Kill zombies, and other creatures. Stay alive. Fun!

I got the game on sale and didn't play it until I beat other games I had in my Steam collection. I did have fun playing the game and did beat it so here's my review of this game. The game is pretty much a guy who gets into a zombie apocalypse and has to fight zombies, monsters, and robots to reach the end to find the source of the zombie apocalypse. The game gets you guns like the pistol, shotgun, rifle, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, laser rifle, and flamethrower from what I remember. You fight enemies like zombies ranging from small to big, giant frogs, giant enemies that are the same ones you see but are larger, robots, and enemies that shoot flames at you. There are levels where you can do side tasks that can get you collectibles which I got on my first playthrough because I used a guide to get the Golden Gun and flak jacket collectibles. You can get money to use to upgrade your weapons which helped me out a lot in the game. When you die you start from the last place the game saved. Some bosses can be easy or hard depending on how you go against them. For bosses in the game, I never killed them because I played a lot of games so I have experience. You can shoot explosives that can damage enemies. When I'm shooting my explosives the explosive weapons I use never damage me so It helps me out sometimes but when the weapon is in a cooldown before I can fire it again I die so I have to start at that part again from the last save point. There are some missions where you go into a turret section where you defend police officers defending themselves from the zombies and you get rewarded with money. For money, it goes from bronze to gold. Bronze is 5, Silver is 20, and Gold is 50. You can pick up ammo from looking around the area around you so there's that. There is survival mode but I never did it because it's a way to show people how good you are on the leaderboard. The gameplay for this game reminds me of one of those flash games on the internet where you play in a top-down view fighting and surviving against zombies. After beating the game I recommend people to try this game out when it's on sale. For me, I got this game when it was on sale for under 2 euro so it's worth getting when you have no other game to try out. You can beat this game in under 4 hours so it's a game worth getting since it is an indie game. I give this game a 7 out of 10. Thanks for reading my review I hope it makes you think twice about getting this game. Have a good day.
