Angry Zombies

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Angry Zombies is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Studio Inward, took the [url=https://www.codester.com/items/4819/angry-zombies-complete-unity-project]Angry Zombies Complete Unity Project[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, AWD Games, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. Studio Inward has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1220190]Hentai Darts[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/dart-wheel-game-template-42174]Dart Wheel Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1180700]Shooting Star[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/dash-runner-full-game-template-152071]Dash Runner - Full Game Template[/url] developed by Yanka [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1355140]Police Chase[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/endless-car-chase-game-template-116027]Endless Car Chase Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1170160]Golf98[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/endless-golf-115171]Endless Golf[/url] developed by SgLib Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1174120]Space Road[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/speeder-run-game-53871]Speeder Run Game[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1322180]DriftZ[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/zombie-drift-255462]Zombie Drift [/url] developed by BoneCracker Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1208900]BomberX [/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/bomber-io-102515]Bomber IO[/url] developed by SURIYUN [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1381290]Viking Fight[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/the-battle-multiplayer-game-template-144703]The Battle Multiplayer Game Template[/url] developed by SoloQ [/list] The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Angry Zombies Complete Unity Project" is just a simply Unity Asset pack for making an Angry Birds mobile app clone, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. [b][quote][url=https://mmofallout.com/valve-bans-titles-for-review-manipulation/]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/quote][/b] This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this review manipulation. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Studio Inward. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b]Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.
