Rather interesting in many ways. Game takes some new approaches and doesn't charge very much. Pixel-graphic cutscenes, defined weapon range, lot of graphical touches, and lot of in-game notes. You can tell this developer put his heart into it. I would recommend this game, only if you are wanting to try something a little experimental. It is still buggy, but that's almost not unexpected here. My main concern is the lack of save feature, except after the first chapter. That first chapter has a lot of gotcha moments, and it has a lot of unskippable cutscenes. It looks like the developer moved onto other projects, so it is what it is, folks. Experimental but also inexpensive. I played this game on ubuntu linux, with radeon mesa graphic drivers. I have not gotten past the first chapter, yet, but I enjoy adventure style games and twin-stick shooters. This game surprisingly does not have gamepad controller support, so try using the Steam Controller tool to map controls to your keypad. The game uses the Unity game engine (surprise) and it takes up 300 MBs of diskspace.
6/10 It makes me sad not to recommend Deadly Escape. I enjoyed my experience with this top-down, pixelated, Resident Evil-esque title. I was absolutely in the mood to play a game like this, with the impending release of the Resident Evil 2 remake. I found myself rationing ammo, searching for keycards, luring zombies into explosive barrels, etc. After playing for about 30 min, locating red and yellow keycards and finding replacement fuses for a generator, I stumbled into a boss fight. I pulled out a rifle and attempted to figure out it's maximum range, while the boss then immediately threw two explosive barrels at me and killed me. I then realized that there were no save points in the game at all. This is a problem, especially since success seems to require such slow and methodical gameplay for the majority of the level. I'm not interested in slowly and painstakingly playing the first 30 min of the game just for another attempt on that boss. Perhaps some players are willing to make that time investment, but I'm not one of them - not to mention that the game wouldn't be as tense on subsequent playthroughs, as I would then know where to find all items and where each zombie spawns. Other issues included: *The auto-targeting sometimes locks onto a zombie when you'd like it to lock onto a barrel, and vice versa *At one point after killing a zombie at the bottom of the level, I was able to continously pick up boxes of ammo off of his corpse - at least 10. *At one particular point, the game is supposed to trigger a door opening - a dead man in a lab coat is slumped in a chair inside. I actually wandered around for a while wondering how to progress prior to this door triggering, despite walking up to it multiple times.

Okay, the game starts off pretty interesting with only a few minor bugs such as not being able to move sometimes when coming out of your inventory screen accessed by hitting the I key on your keyboard. However, as I got close to powering the hatches, I began to sense the upcoming dangers and looked for an option to save my game progress with no success. When I found no way to save my game, I assumed that the game would be automatically saving my progress so that if I died, I wouldn't have to go back too far. I ended up dying to the beast the mad doctor sent after me. And I totally wanted to go right back and avenge my death to the beast after playing for about 40 minutes at this point! But NOPE! The game actually sent me all the way back to the start! ARGHHHHHHH! This is beyond frustrating and UNACCEPTABLE of a game of this type to not either auto save the players progress OR give the player the option to make their own saves. Because of the lack of a save feature, this game went from what might have been an 8 out of 10 to a FAIL and a not recommended score of 1/10. No excuse for this devs. * Key was acquired in a bundle from another website.
[h1]Описание:[/h1] Ненавижу криворуких разработчиков. Я проникся атмосферой и готов был оставить палец вверх и похвалить игру. Это даже несмотря на то, что из заявленного в меню контента тут доступно только 2 уровня и разработчики забросили развитие игры (это как минимум должен быть ранний доступ). Но баги!!! Тут нет чекпойнтов и нужно проходить за один присест, но иногда ты тупо застреваешь в текстурах и не можешь атаковать и двигаться и тебя тупо съедают... Как обидно когда это происходит на финише миссии два раза мать его подряд! А ведь время потрачено на прохождение и его уже не вернешь! Ненавижу!

I like this type of game, and I do actually like this game. BUT... It's clunky, VERY short, frustrating due to poor animations and glitches and I think it's been abandoned. Glitches and issues for me included a zombie attacking me and me not being able to move or attack (this happened a couple of times) and the gun glitching on the third shot - happened consistently for one play through. As this is a permadeath game, both of this were VERY frustrating! - I actually quite like permadeath games, especially if they're shorter, but you can't have glitches in them. This makes it broken rather than just a challenge. As it's a cheap game, I can forgive a lot of the points I've made, but at a glance it doesn't look like anything has been done on this game for about a year now so I think it's abandoned, which is a shame. I think if issues had been ironed out, more chapters had been released, more achievements included and a few additional game modes, this game would have been fantastic! If you can get it VERY cheap then I would recommend it. If the devs do all of the above, then I would DEFINITELY recommend it! 4/10
kurz aber gut für zwischendurch. kann es empfehlen.
[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein Top Down Survival Horror Spiel [h1] Story [/h1] In einer Forschungseinrichtung scheint etwas übelst schief gelaufen zu sein und Zombies wandern durch die Gänge und töten alles was noch lebt. Wir spielen einen Wachmann namens James und müssen versuchen zu entkommen [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Wir laufen durch die Einrichtung, in einer Top Down Ansicht. Dabei steuern wir unseren Charakter mit der Tastatur und mit der Maus benutzen wir unsere ausgerüstete Waffe. Mit der Rechten Maustaste zielen wir und mit der Linken können wir schießen. Gegner werden automatisch wenn sie in Sichtweite sind anvisiert, sodass man nie daneben schiessen kann. Ziel ist es 3 Sicherungen zu finden um damit den Generator wieder in Gang zu bringen um ins Obere Stockwerk zu gelangen. Das Spiel ist linear und man hat es schnell durchgespielt. Es gibt aber keine Speicher Möglichkeiten. Wenn man stirbt muss man von vorne anfangen. Man kann sich aber mit Medikits heilen via Inventar, das Spiel pausiert sich wenn wir das Inventar aufrufen, sodass man nicht unter druck sich heilen muss, was gut gemacht ist. Es gibt insgesamt 2 Kapitel. Am Ende von Kapitel 1 bekämpfen wir einen Boss und wenn wir diesen besiegt haben, kommt eine Cutscene wo wir in einen Schacht klettern und der Boss wieder aufsteht und hinter uns her will aber er bleibt stecken und die Cutscene endet somit nicht, da hilft nur noch raus tabben und Spiel schliessen um dann Kapitel 2 vom Hauptmenü auszuwählen. Sehr Merkwürdig war das. Musik & Atmosphäre fand ich ordentlich und die Pixel Optik sieht gut aus [h1] Achievement Schwierigkeit 3/10 [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 13 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man lediglich Kapitel 1 Abschließen und dabei 5 Medikits verwenden, 30 Zombies insgesamt töten, jeweils 10 Zombies mit der Pistole, der Schrotflinte & durch Explosive Fässer töten, das Gewehr finden und damit 20 Zombies töten, den Generator zum laufen bringen, den Boss töten & einmal sterben. Alles sehr flott gemacht [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Günstig (Im Sale oft für unter 1€ zu bekommen) + Story OK + Musik ist OK + Pixel Optik sieht nett aus + Das Gameplay hat mir gut gefallen + Achievements - Nach besiegen des Bosses am Ende von Kapitel 1 bleibt dieser in der Cutscene hängen und man muss das Spiel via Task Manager schliessen (oder raustabben und via Rechts klick beenden) [h1] Fazit [/h1] Wieder so ein Spiel was mich Positiv überrascht hat. Ich dachte es wäre ein kleines Schrott Spiel aber es hat sich dann doch als ganz ordentlich herausgestellt. Mir hat es auf jeden Fall Spaß gemacht. Wer Survival Horror Spiele mag und Pixel Optik nichts ausmacht, der sollte hier im Sale zuschlagen. Abgesehen von dem Bug am Ende von Kapitel 1 fand ich es sehr cool gemacht 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list] and discover more reviews from me
a few bugs and some terrible controls, i will try again if it gets updated
Short but fun game, with only two leves (in the menu you can see the option for extra leves and DLC but there are none to play). Simple to starting playing, the pixel art gives it a nice touch. Came with a bundle, so it was a nice surprise to find it.

Shooting system is just non-sense to me :D
