Dark Days

It's very promising for something this early into development.. The graphics look great. The controls are surprisingly right. I'm not a big fan of those games where WSAD moves my character around and I use the mouse to click on enemies to shoot, but this game is paced well enough where that was not an issue at all. I picked up my controller and the left analog was able to move my character around!! If he makes it so the right analog allows me to aim like a twin stick shooter, this is going to be a fantastic game! PLEASE DO THIS! Also, this game has a really great ragdoll physics engine. After you shoot down a zombie, you can sort of kick him around for a bit before he disappears. The bad? It's got issues. Not the kind of issues you want in a game. In my case, I can't click on the inventory button in full screen mode. Just not possible. In windowed mode if you maximize the window, it works fine. So that's something I expect will get fixed very soon, the developer already stated in a thread that it will be looked at asap and will make a hotkey to open the inventory as well. Let's start the patch train, I'm quite impressed so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZnE24oZYnk

You've played this game a hundred times before. Maybe in a browser, maybe you bought it for a pittance in a Steam sale because what are you really risking for like £0.07 and ooh, trading cards. It isn't awful and it is still obviously a very early build but I honestly can't see it developing into anything worth picking up except begrudgingly as part of a bundle. I'll spare you the well-worn intricacies of [b]Dark Days[/b] (make molotovs, buy guns, kill fast/slow/brute zombie, next level) and instead offer the developers a little feedback just to bring the title up to speed with even the most mediocre of titles that share its genre. [b]1.)[/b] There's no intensity. None. Why would I panic about any of my fences breaking when I can easily outrun even the fastest zombie? I often found myself jumping over the barricades anyway, searching for stuff to kill that was actually taking forever to spawn. [b]2.)[/b] Guns and ammo are far too cheap and some are gamebreaking. As soon as I got hold of the shotgun, it was essentially game over. Everything dies in one shot except the giants who die in three and move so painfully slowly that they're more of a threat to the other zombies by blocking their way than they are to me. [b]3.)[/b] By contrast, the ranged weapons are practically pointless. Molotovs do nothing. Zombies just wander through the fire like its scotch mist. The tactical use of the mines and the one-shot kill of the knives are just as effective as a shotgun blast, except I don't have to craft shells for that in multiples of three. The grenades have a fuse delay so they're utterly useless against the runner zombies who are the only mild threat in the game. Which I shotgun. Because the shotgun is insane. [b]4.)[/b] The first survivor's gun appears to do nothing. I've stood there watching him pour nearly a hundred M16 rounds into a standard undead just for it to carry on shambling towards me. [b]5.)[/b] It's called DUCT tape. Not 'duck tape'. Although there is a brand of tape in the US called 'Duck' but I sincerely doubt that's what you meant. I think that'll do for starters. Maybe after that we can talk about the sheer repetitiveness and emptiness of the scenery or the fact that the flashlight doesn't really do anything useful but honestly, I'll just be reposting some variant of this review on another zombie defence title next week so I'm pessimistic to say the least. Highlights from my experience with it are below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZiAt93Rts

I think a critic should state their likes and dislikes before they do a hatchet job on some style of game they didn't like to begin with or know much about..So I normally play pipe puffer empire building games, the more boring the better and I'm into my 68th summer so zombie shooters are not my staple by any means." Dark Days" seems certainly OK,fine, and any short comings could be my fault rather than the games. It looks ok not great but certainly functional,I used my Sidewinder 2 joystick and my Logitech Precision controller and both ,surprisingly, worked well.I found keyboard control fine ,pretty easy really .Not a lot of assistance getting up and running but enough for me so its heaps really.No crashes, bugs,bad boogie woogie, it ran well and was fun.I'm running it in Win7 64 bit and it runs this game superbly. Things I didn't like much are ( 1) inaccurate gunfire. I was raised in the 1 shot 1 kill era but it seems even at a few feet aiming is quite impossible in this game, so its blast away,Blam,blam, blam ,tripple tap,fortuneatly there is plenty of ammo everywhere ,the game must be set in the US of A (2) .I found zombie bashing with your chosen chunk of 4x2 frankly a bit feeble.Never mind, maybe Zombies are new age sensitive guys and don't need a good biffing to take a dive..(3) The aforementioned Zombies are very noisy and it gets a bit annoying rather than scary after a while. This is a good game ,cheap as , its works and is fun now -it can only get better.Yep, worth buying...

Wow, instant refund. I'm sorry this is just awful Horrible controls terrible voice acting (lol bad) moving around is tedious, you never no where your going or allowed to go using the map doesnt help zombies or infected move together and look the same, if a group of 4 come at you they're all moving the same start with a double barrel shot gun hardly any ammo long reloads, so you keep having to walk around trying to reload on a map that has invisible walls. So if your backing up to shoot you might be able to go to the left or right or up and down but you never know till you get to the side of the screen..this is nothing like I expected from watching videos...

开局一把散弹枪，一辆车，资源全靠捡，一路碾压丧尸。 然后你救了两个被丧尸包围的人，被他们打成重伤，还抢走了你所有东西，只给你留下了一根棒子，游戏正式开始。。。 算是把这个坑填掉吧，游戏主线并不长，主要是探索地图，武器和蓝图都需要探索地图来发现，武器近战有木棍和棒球棍，用于破箱很方便，有耐久值；远程有手枪、麦格农、冲锋枪、突击步枪、双管猎枪、散弹枪以及机弩（神器，一箭一个）；蓝图有七个，分别是烟雾弹、飞刀、地雷、燃烧瓶、急救包、炸药包、开锁器。游戏中有多个据点，清空丧尸、修复围栏、带三名幸存者入住即可形成补给点，中期拿回汽车后即可在补给点之间传送（注意：游戏存在队友误伤，所以你的子弹比丧尸更容易让幸存者致命）。游戏的视角是固定的，所以经常会有看不清出口和路只能摸索的情况，有些场景树木茂盛，看不清道路也看不到丧尸，所以备好急救包加快脚步吧。如果室内刷僵尸，建议到外面视野开阔处作战，奔跑丧尸在狭小空间内相当难缠。 游戏名为dark days，自然少不了黑暗的故事剧情，除了最上所述的被捅刀子，还有当主角找到昔日仇敌，看到他被尸潮淹没；当主角回到基地时，被告知要杀死一屋子的被感染幸存者（游戏中这些感染者看起来和正常人一般无二，当你杀死其中一人后所有人都开始惊慌失措，苦苦哀求，直到你将所有手无寸铁的人都杀死，捡走他们掉落的材料，也没有一人变异，这时我有些怀疑他们是不是真的被感染了，不禁有些内疚）。在游戏后期寻找逃跑船只路上，有位名为Bob的伙伴一路为我提供火力掩护以及人肉屏障，结果在接近船只的夺取据点任务中倒下了；在最后灌油桶任务中，我带着三名未安置的幸存者，在触发尸潮后我慌乱射击，竟有两人是死在我的弩下（这一关着实有些困难，在狭小的房间里有大量的普通丧尸、奔跑丧尸和大型丧尸）

if you plan on getting this game don't, just save your money. to begin with the voice acting is just terrible (it sounds like when someone is on tv but they dont want there real voice heard so they distort it) and the gameplay reflects it, i get lost easily in foliage there is no indication on where you should be heading until you literally run against the wall and wait for the prompt to proceed. The zombies are a real pain in the butt to kill in the beginning, the melee is bad as well. The cutscene animations are garbage (if i can call it animation), the mouse stays locked on your screen and that gets old fast. i wish those two men i helped sprayed my head everywhere so i would be spared of playing this game.

Cheap game, all around cheap piece of crap. Voice acting will have you wanting to mute game altogether. Could have been fun but can't get over this feeling that the game should have stayed in oven a little longer. It just feels incomplete. Stuck at a point on securing the first safehouse. Zombies killed - Check, Gates repaired - Check, 2/3 survivors and here lies the problem. You can only move to places you've been, can't move farther because I have searched every where and the 3rd survivor is non existant. Did I miss something? I guess I'll never now, spent as much time as I could before deciding that this was a complete waste of my time and money. The game only tells you that you can't move further. You have no idea of knowing if you've missed something or if that part of game doesn't open till way later in game. Several spots to use sticky bombs yet no idea of when that blueprint will drop. Stay away, you've been warned lol

I've never played an Early Access game that took 25 minutes to finish. 3 weapons, 3 enemies, and 7 levels that all look the same. Usually when a game comes out in Early Access it has some actual lasting content so players can get a taste of things to come as well as provide feedback to the developer. The only impression I got from this is that it'll either take forever to finish or the devs will abandon it. This game is so early in development that it feels like nothing more than a prototype. The only feedback that can be provided from this experience is to add some actual content. If future content is going to be identical to what we see here, then it'll be just as dull and boring. Oh yea, and you can play a slightly uglier version of this game completely for free on Newgrounds: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/655182 So they decided to upgrade the engine and textures slightly and re-sell it for $2. My full impression of this game is available here including a huge amount of criticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya31xz0dExA

OK so, let's start :P Pro's: -Good gameplay -Good ideas -I thinks this game could be a very good game -Cheap -nice crafting and market ideas Bad's -Falay AI (not very inteligent sorry Falay) -Invincible ai (yup you have good AI thats almost invincible) -Spam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of d1cks So my word ,is that if you have like it was a sale and it was like 50 cents so if you can buy it :3 And keep in mind it's in Early Acces :D so if you come with cool ideas you can talk with the creators and have your ideas in game :3 Sweeeeet game for that price :) 7/10 (compared with L4D) +15/10 (compared with How To Survive) 6.5/10 (compared with my global rating system)

+ Game finally leaves early access. - Game is complete garbage.
