Dead TrailZ

Do you give a game a thumbs down for being thoroughly competent but utterly unremarkable in every single way? I don't know. I'd rather not. [b]Dead TrailZ[/b] and games like it are really the reason that Steam needs a 'Meh' button or at least that sideways thumb that Roman emperors used to make while they were deciding whether a gladiator deserved to suffer their opponent's gruesome fatality move or not. It's a sniper game. With zombies. And not a lot else. You can either choose to partake in Runner Mode (protect a luminously dressed imbecile from afar as he scuttles around the town for supplies) or the slightly more engaging Strategy Mode (aid groups of survivors in escaping the map via missions with various special conditions). Although still in Early Access, the first issue you'll come across is that the tangle of alleys in the centre of the game's first map are practically impossible to see into from any vantage point. If your runner or your survivors wind up in there, you'd better hope the dead haven't gotten there first or you'll be treated to an elaborate camera pan of your ward being messily devoured. And I do mean messily. I don't want to lower the tone here but many of the undead in this game seem to be drawn to eating the, uh... the inner buttocks of their victims. Whether that's because it's the centre of the character model or not, I don't know. It started to make me feel sick after a while. On the plus side, Dead TrailZ tries its hardest to escape its budget trappings and oversaturated genre with at least a basic stab at replayability; there's random bonus jobs to fulfill and the strategy missions do a fair job at keeping you engaged with inventive objectives and the challenge of pulling off a perfect run. It's fine. It works. But it does belong in Early Access while it discovers some sort of individuality. You can check out my fun with it below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G30JTpXBrdU

Dead TrailZ is a tower defense shooter game where you are a sniper man and should kill the zombies to help escape the people. This game is now in Early Access so now you can play only two modes: runner or strategy. In a runner mode your target is to protect a men who run at the map from one point to other from the zombies. This man has a gun, but he has a certain amount of ammunition. You should protect as long as possible to get higher soccer. Also you have some quest what if you done get extra coins. In a strategy mode you should protect a survivors and reach all goals to get 3 stars. In this you have 30 levels (each map 15) The sounds is okey. Graphic looks good, carton stylized. Also this game has leaderbords and twich feature. So my verdict +leaderboards +steam achievements +interesting concept +nice graphic +multiplayer in future -at the moment few content -some bugs -animations a bit week - no steam trading cards So i think this game is not bad, have enough good potential, this game now in Early Access so the developers in a future add to this game even more content. Game have enough interesting concept, so i think you should try this one if you like a games with zombie and want try something new. 7.5/10

[b]It's okay.[/b] [h1]Cons[/h1] The scope aiming is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ atrocious with a sort of horrible dead zone in the middle and movement made to feel like your trying to aim in an 8bit shooter. ''No scoping'' is made not much better by very heavy mouse smoothing with no option to turn it off. On top of that, the game breaks down into a horrible ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥™ every time I try to change the video quality presets. The animations are unfortunately sub-par although not gamebreakingly so, and the zombie Ai seems to have a certain preference for well... let's just say ''back door fun''... [h1]Pros[/h1] On the bright side, it's a unique idea where you are put into the shoes of the person providing the backup or ''killingstreak'' instead of the person directly in danger of getting there ass eaten out and getting turned into a festering piece of rotting flesh, where you have an almost sometimes isometric/top-down view of the battlefield, and have to make stratigic decisions based upon clearing a path for your little green shirted friend. The music while rather generic zombie shooterish, is pretty good and can at times provide a nice brooding sense of tension. Overall I apreciate the developers mixing it up a little although as a highly score based game it's not really for me. [h1]TL;DR[/h1] [b]7.5/10 Would get my ass eaten out by constipated zombies again.[/b]

[h1]Plan, Execute, Zip...zip...zip[/h1] [url="http://gonewiththewin.com/dead-trailz-review-2/"]FULL REVIEW[/url] Dead TrailZ is part arcade snipey fun, part tower defense strategy. Use your wits as well as reflexes to protect survivors or supply runners as they run through zombie infested streets. This is a first person shooter with a twist. You are only able to stand on one rooftop at a time, ziplining between points on the map if there is zipline access between them. Utlizing the various perspectives, and items, you will have to quickly clear a path. While it is the kind of game that is easy to grasp, as you progress, or attempt higher scores, how you approach the mission will affect the length and success of your efforts. There's more entertainment than I expected in this one. The developer has also promised more maps and content in the future so this is an easy recommend to any FPS/TD fan out there in the present. [h1]Pro's[/h1] - Tower Defense-esque positioning system is a very creative take on the zombie shooting genre. - Arcade style fun, pick and play, and before you know it you'll be trying this every day for a better run. - Blowing up zombies, does it get old? [h1]Con's[/h1] - Kind of cheesy animations - lack of explanations for the most part (although some trial and error and you'll get the hang of it) - Mr. Green (the runner) is kind of a tart. - Needs more content.

Amazing Zombie shooter, you play on a zip-line a run across the map and shoot zombies while protecting a survivor, who is going to run across one point of the map to get ammo the next point, and return to the beginning point (a train) and it acts as 1 wave. Graphics are smooth and well made, cell shaded unity. I really love this game its so fun to play and easy to pick this and then. Here's my lets play on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYb0EjZzg30&feature=youtu.be

A very nice comicbook style on rails zombie shooter. Fun gameplay, could do with more content, but with a very proactive developer and in early access so we have great potential here. Check out my video for a more detailed look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc55e3jtnCE

Dead TrailZ: ~~~~~~~~~ Armed with a machine gun, EMP shotgun, mines and smoke grenades, you are a spotter / sniper. You have to protect your runner - make sure his runs are successful by picking up all supply boxes and return to the train without being torn apart by your friendly Zombies! Dead Trailz is a First Person Shooter/Tower Defence game which offers 2 types of modes in this current version (early access). You will be able to play either runner or strategy modes. In the runner mode, you will have to protect your faithful friend as long as you can, so he can pick up as many supply boxes as possible without being eaten by despicable zombies. In this mode, you will have tasks to achieve so you can earn extra coins which you can dispatch at the shop to add ammunition to your weaponry, especially the mine and EMP bullets. Essentially, you will be able to move yourself to several vantage points on the map so you can effectively protect your runner by shooting at the upcoming wave of zombies. Your runner will have a limited amount of ammunition and he will be able to take care of himself until he runs out of bullets. If he is caught by Zombies, well, it will be game over. Also, within the action, choppers will come regularly and will drop crates and barrels. Shoot all crates before they hit the ground and you will receive extra mines or coins. Barrels are like bombs - shoot them when zombies approach them and you will probably hit a strike! If you reach a certain score, you will unlock an additional difficulty level. In strategy mode, you have to make sure all survivors reach the train station and jump up onto the wagon to score 3 stars. The further you go, the harder it will become to save them all. Dead TrailZ has cartoon–style graphics which add to the fun component of the game. The controls are fine and the game runs very well. Positives: ~~~~~~~ - Fun and addictive gameplay - In game tasks to achieve - Cartoon style of graphics - Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - No trading cards - I’ll like to see more maps Dead Trailz is seriously fun to play and I can’t wait to see additional maps. I want to help gather as many supplies as possible. 8/10 Key provided by developer/publisher for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!

Dead TrailZ is a Tower Defence game where you’re the towers, you zip-line between multiple advantage points and rain fire on your foes. Missions revolve around killing zombies while protecting survivors as they either evacuate areas or collect resources. Your weapons include an Assault Rifle, Mines, EMP Bazooka and Smoke Grenades to guide your allies. The game contains a’ Skirmish’ mode were you protect a single survivor as they collect resources, it’s a bit like your classic ‘Horde’ mode. ‘Strategy’ mode pits you in multiple predefined situations by limiting the enemy spawns, setting certain spawn locations, limited shooting locations and limited access to equipment, think of it as a ‘Trial’ mode. These two game modes take place over two separate maps, one centred around a set of buildings, while the over in an open country/rural town. It has a cool feature where you can link your Twitch profile to your account, allowing people in your chat to appear above the heads of the Zombies, but being a nobody and this game not being fully released yet I was unable to test this feature, seems really cool though. Currently the game is in Early Access so we have to view it for what it is currently + future promise. As it stands the game is quite basic, I did a majority of the Strategy missions within an hour (they’re all very similar atm), and got to a point in the Skirmish mode where I felt I had enough. The Zombies have limited movement and maybe even missing animations, while the gun play feels a little floaty, I can’t quite put my finger on it but if you watch the gameplay you’ll see the camera continue to move even though I’ve stopped moving my mouse. In saying that I think it’s an interesting pick-up if you’re into Early Access, there seems to be some promise with the amounts of Zombies and Survivors on screen at once and wacky elements such as the Mines and EMP Bazooka, which is where I hope they take the game. Currently it’s only single player, but I think it’d do wonders if you could add a friend to join in on the fun, you would be able to get further + it gets very chaotic which are always great moments with friends. Atm I’m going to have it as a recommendation due to it being Early Access & future potential. It’s over the top with its look and weapons, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. The promise of more levels and possibly more objective types also is something the game needs to stop it from being stale. If you’re looking for gameplay of both Skirmish and Strategy I have that in the video above and several over on the community hub & my YouTube channel. If you’re not a fan of unfinished games I’d skip it for now, just keep it on your follow list and follow the game through its Early Access cycle. Gameplay explains this game best – https://youtu.be/TnY-QJrDvXE

damn,,, i was thinking that it was just a killing zombie spree,,, buuut it turns out that's a funny shooter =/. You have to protect a guy (runner) whos looking for supplies, and u are using zip lines to move arround and shot any zombie who tries to kill him. So tecnically you are not getting hunted by zombies =D. Worth a try!
