This game is brutal. It makes you feel like you're doing really well; it gets you all cheery and confident, giving you the illusion that you may win your first game! Then you see that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ message "THEY ARE BILLIONS". You believe your defence is finally strong enough to take the onslaught of zombies. Everything seems to be going well until they break through a wall. You don't notice it until they have destroyed all you're beautiful stone houses and zombies fill your entire screen. You freak out taking all your troops off their towers and bringing them all to your command center beleiving that maybe, just maybe you could take one last stand and defend from this brutal attack. As you watch your command center's health drop, your units engulfed with zombies, you admit defeat. Your command center falls and the game over screen pops up. You return to the main menu and you start again because this time, this time you might actually win a game. Great game, would recommend. 10/10
After reading the various other (great btw) reviews, I tend to agree with the general consensus that this is a game whose addictiveness is matched only by the amount of frustration it generates. Its been 100+ hours and i still am stuck on the last mission (on easiest level btw). Tremendously irritating to think after retrying again and again for hours at a time that "this is it, i got it in the bag this time!" only to fail spectacularly yet again.... Crazyiest part is that it could all have been avoided if it just featured a basic save system. I really don't get why this was so verboten to these developers. I am a big believer that games like this should cater to all kinds of gamers. If you like a difficult challenge, fine! Have a game mode where you can do that. But there should also be a mode where you can save your progress for gamers that have jobs/school/families/life obligations and don't have the time or desire to spend redoing a mission 10 times for hours at a go. That huge complaint aside, this is one of the better modern strategy games out there. The ability to model thousands of zombies on screen is really impressive and the steampunk ascetic is cool. Game is also stable with no set up nonsense. If your a fan of strategy games and also a glutton for punishment, this game is for you! Overall I give this title a somewhat reluctant recommendation. You'll enjoy it.... but don't blame me when you throw your screen across the room. 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀ Follow Main group Follow Second group
