I find myself in love with anything related to an apocalyptic setting. Whether the world ends mysteriously to disease, or technology has overtaken humanity... however zombies have always been a soft spot. I’ll admit I was very excited to see this recommended as I needed a good offline game to kill time on during my slow days. However, this game frustrates me to no end. A lot of times I apply so much strategy to the game, thinking that if it was made and finished it has to have an ending with the best possible outcome. Here’s the issue: it feels like the game is designed to take advantage of the death mechanic in which that your crew will die so quickly due to the sheer numbers. Even the best possible planning I still lose one member of the party, something that is going to cripple me in the long run if I do, because each level adds even more zombies. I even switched the difficulty to the easier setting and felt like it was still unplayable at times. I’ll have to sit for an hour rewinding and rewinding because I didn’t move exactly the right way and now a vital character is gone. Just corpsed.
Definitely a fun game and tests my patience and strategy, but the levels are just too much sometimes... and it’s only the first few- as if the late game will be genuinely impossible or the game is just short and prepares you for that feeling.
