Chasing Dead

This game has issues but I still enjoyed playing it. The biggest issue is lack of overall polish in both visuals and game-play and some audio as well. Pros +Concept(it could have been delivered without Zombies to make it a unique product) +Weapon choices. +Real /Live Actors(maybe a turnoff for some ppl) +Locations +Funny bugs (some are annoying but other are fun (ragdolls flying etc) +Boss Fights Cons +Crashes on closing +Lack of polish +Surface detail(looks a bit old school) +Vehicles (not easy to drive) +Acting(some are good some are ok and reading from script) +No weapon customization

Что такое Chasing Dead: - Это когда ты бегаешь по высоковольтным линиям как по земле - Это когда Чернобыль расположен не в Украине - Это когда русские субтитры переведены хуже чем мог бы сделать Google Translate - Это когда "актеры" в заставках читают текст по бумажке - Это когда русские военные вооружены американскими карабинами М4 - Это когда танк противника проще расстрелять из пистолета чем из другого танка - Это когда теника регенирирует здоровье - Это когда игра не запоминает твое оружие и выдает после рестарта чекпоинта новое - Это когда нет внятной концовки, но есть To be continued А еще главный герой спрыгнул на самолет, пробил в крыше дырку, перестрелял там всех и выпрыгнул разбив лобовое стекло. Давненько я так не смеялся, аж рука не поднимается палец вниз поставить.

LOL I love this campy game, well worth the $10 I paid for it. Graphics are not bad and the acting is funny, the music is just right and game seems to have a balance of horror, sci-fi and combat with story in the mix using actors in video clips. I would suggest it if you like sci-fi channel horror theme movies, works for me.

Every now and again I like punishing myself. Sometimes you know that a game is going to be mediocre or even downright suck, but you get in your thicker than a concrete block noggin that you're going to play it and the lord protect the man, woman or beast that tries to stop you. The horror bug bit me in the early 80s at three years old; first with movies and then with video games in the earlier half of the 90s. Eventually, I'll get around to seeing every movie, playing every game, etc. that relates to the genre. At $20+ Chasing Dead was not even tempting for me to buy. I more or less knew what I was going to get, so I waited till the price dropped considerably. $9.99, hey cool, at least I won't kill myself with Burger King or some other garbage with those couple of dollars...harm reduction my friends. So, I picked this up to plow through another zombie shooter. From the fantastically terrible Land of the Dead to the entertaining Zombi on Wii to the top down slaughterhouse magic of Splatter...I give 'em all a try. So, I laid down my digital cash and spent a night n' a half with Chasing Dead. First up, this game isn't going to take you long to beat. On the hardest setting (glitches and horse manure included) it took me roughly 4 1/2 hours to finish spread across a day and a half. I could see people rounding up the torches, rope and a tree for a good Wild West hanging if they spent $24.99 on this mess. Yeah, Chasing Dead is a mess. It's a kinda trashy, MILDLY fun B movie/exploitation mess at that, but gamers looking for a gory, well-made time waster won't be having this for dinner. You play as action movie cliche soldier, Jake, a lousy one-liner spoutin', gun in each hand Duke Nukem wannabe if there ever was one. Ol' Jake kicks off his adventure on a crashing plane and makes a rough landing on doppelganger version of Earth where zombies, ogre lookin' boss idiots, flying robot drones, renegade soldiers and other lunkheads all want to kill you. Simply put, you'll mow down foes with a decent selection of guns, clear the planet of hostiles level by level and accomplish standard mission objectives along the way. It's a simple formula borrowed from a million other shooters before it, but Chasing Dead gets the bare minimum job done in this respect. The environments on Earth Vol. 2 are pretty crappy looking. Graphics are not this game's strong suit and you've seen better modeled monsters and level design in just about any similar horror game you can think of. It's suitable but it's not pretty. On a souped up Alienware PC things didn't run smoothly; framerates were crapping out during heavily populated frays and boss battles which got more annoying than Chinese water torture the more I played. Ontop of that hit-detection is poor with Jake's shooting on par to a blind man without glasses trying to get a ringer in an afternoon game of horseshoes. You'll blast enemies in the head and they either won't go down (most likely registering hits somewhere else on their bodies) or completely whiff. Prepare to die a few cheap deaths, although the game itself isn't impossible in difficulty, so it won't hold you back too often. Audio doesn't fare any better with cheesy, stock beastie groans n' grumbles and bosses that sound like they are more likely to tickle your feet with a feather than beat you to a bloody pulp. A nondescript soundtrack, terrible voice-acting (sometimes hilarious) and lightweight weapon FX give the game's presentation all of the sharpness of a dull Ginsu that can't even slice a tomato. As stated the cutscenes are done FMV style like an old adventure game which makes no sense whatsoever other than adding to the B-movie stink that permeates every poor of this game. Most scenes are acted in the dark with the actors/actresses looking down READING DIRECTLY FROM THE SCRIPT. It's hysterical at first but this kind of cheese is best reserved for a movie. You'll be reaching for the skip button quick. My favorite parts are whenever the actors have to get up to run from something that suddenly "smoked out" their location. The whole spiel is the kinda bad they don't make a name for. Bad animation seeps into the gameplay with the aforementioned FPS dips and rotten hit detection. This can be correct somewhat if you zoom in with the ironsights but nothing is a science in this game. Most of your enemies are dumber than dirt and you'll progress via firepower overload alone. Jake can carry two weapons at anytime and there's a nice selection. Zombies fall pretty easily and are generally wimps even on the hardest setting which will turn off anybody looking for a stiff challenge and a frequent checkpoint system makes sure you won't fall behind too far if you do happen to die. To Chasing Dead's merit the later levels are a bit more fun and less generic (than the standard worntorn wastelands, abandoned industrial complexes, etc.) later on; a ghost town, haunted mansion, a firefight inside and atop a fast-moving train, and a few other interesting locales helping to break up the monotony a bit. Floating wraith enemies add a little spice here, at the trade of the player's wits when pitted against infuriating invisible opponents in the haunted mansion (they go down in three hits and you can find a scanner to detect their presence...still, with aiming and shooting as sh*tty as it is, you're gonna want to take a shotgun to your monitor). A handful of sinister boss enemies stand in your way. I'm sure the developers wanted to think they are sinister but most of them are mutants that look like goofy trolls/ogres as opposed to zombies. They are wide targets, so even the wonky mechanics won't impede you from mowing them to bits. Again, the sluggish gameplay quirks and imprecise controls will probably get you murdered during the first mutant boss at least once until you find a way to work around them. That's the entire problem with Chasing Dead's 3-5 hour campaign; imprecision...a lack of polish or even the slightest bit of refinement to even the most rudimentary gameplay elements. Oh yeah, you also get to command a Hummer and a Tank in a few levels...the Hummer will probably go down in the history of gaming as the worst vehicle in a shooter on any platform during any era. It's THAT futtbucking godawful. You'll want to commit suicide before the first mile. For honesty's sake, the tank controls better and at least you can tackle the opposition with firepower as opposed to the Hummer's solitary "run 'em over" attack. There's a few Steam achievements for those into that sort of thing and getting eight of them was enough for me. Despite it's cheapness due to bad design, if you do play Chasing Dead go straight to Hard because it's not really that tough for the seasoned shooter vet. I consider myself above-average and I had to get my money's worth out of this monument to mediocrity. Sprinkled throughout the crap are a few fun moments and a couple of decent setpiece battles but you'd be wise to get this on a BIG sale if you just have to try it. Pros: -At it's best provides some comedic B-movie trash thrills. -Decent weapon selection. -A couple of fun setpiece battles. -The boss fights are amusing when they're not half broken by bad mechanics. Cons: -At it's worst a filled diaper of anti-fun. -Subpar graphics, terrible animation, framerate hiccups, wretched cutscenes and weak sound. -Poor controls. -Horrible hit detection. -Broken mechanics. -Driving sequences are beyond human comprehension. -No multiplayer (maybe a blessing?). -A few hours of gameplay, once and done replay value and pricetag still too high. Overall: 4/10 Chasing Dead is only a must buy for the most hardcore horror gamers. I'm glad I gave this and Back in 1995 chances for science's sake but if I didn't get to them so late I'd refund them both. There's SMALL doses of fun here but that's it.

It's like a DOS, or Windows 98 FPS game meets modern graphics. Spoiler alert! Kick and swing axe simultaneously for OP damage.

This game make me dizzy and sick, as a putrid boot, I can smell this rot from that carp.

i'm ok with the game and story as long as there are more features coming. multiplayer or co-op. more game modes but free of additional charges.

Even with all its issues and some slowdowns, I enjoyed playing it. I had to change the screen resolution to get the solid lag free performance. Visually it is a good looking game for an indie production. I just hope that the developer continues to fix the issues in some weapons( rocket etc) & improve vehicles, which is one thing that needs the most work.
