DownTheDead

ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYbyeUawT08 ПЛЮСЫ: Неплохая графика и анимация. Отличный саундтрек и атмосфера. Простое, понятное управление. Поддержка геймпада. Есть достижения в Steam. Есть демо для ознакомления в Steam. Неплохая оптимизация. Хорошая цена на игру в Steam. МИНУСЫ: Мало экшена, мало пугающих элементов. Очень простые загадки. Нет русской локализации. "Простенький хоррор в сочетании с распространёнными механиками. Это больше бродилка с загадками, чем шутер с упырями, но играть всё-равно интересно." 8/10 Games-Reviews.ru Обзор подготовлен для сайта games-reviews.ru и youtube-канала. https://games-reviews.ru/2022/08/15/downthedead.html YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiaJ5Z3Taf-ywbw8FAMh7hQ/ Подписывайтесь на нашу группу : https://steamcommunity.com/groups/redteamrussteam И на нашего куратора: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28969041/

[h1]DownTheDead - A Rough Yet Promising Indie Horror[/h1] [i]“A gritty survival horror set in a dark, underground facility.”[/i] DownTheDead combines elements reminiscent of [b]Dead Space[/b] and [b]Half-Life[/b] but with its own indie twist. Set in a hidden research facility masquerading as a hospital, it challenges players to navigate the dark corridors filled with zombies and armed foes. While it leans heavily on stealth, players can opt for the guns-blazing approach if they’re skilled enough with movement—though ammo is scarce. [h2]Storyline and Atmosphere[/h2] The story is basic and lacks detailed narration. You play as a test subject escaping a zombie-infested research facility. The plot is spontaneous, with minimal exposition, leaving players to piece it together. While the story feels sparse, the eerie setting and dark atmosphere are well-executed, especially with the [b]zombies' red glowing eyes[/b]. [h2]Gameplay Mechanics[/h2] The mechanics are simple yet functional. Movement includes the usual running, jumping, and crouching, though crouching feels a bit off due to animation issues. Unfortunately, the game lacks control rebinding options, which can inconvenience players who rely on custom setups. [b]Combat[/b] feels heavily inspired by Half-Life, with a crowbar as the primary weapon and a couple of firearms (a pistol and shotgun) available later. While functional, the gunplay could use refinement; the muzzle flash position, for example, feels misaligned, which can be jarring. [h2]AI and Special Vision[/h2] The enemy AI is underwhelming. Both zombies and human enemies can be manipulated with certain movements, making the combat feel almost turn-based at times. The “Special Vision,” akin to heat vision, allows you to detect enemies and items without cooldown but slows down time, adding a strategic element to sneaking. [h2]Graphics and Sound Design[/h2] As an indie game, DownTheDead isn’t aiming for AAA visuals, but it does well with the assets it has. Environments recycle elements, and animations are a bit rough, yet the dark aesthetic creates an appropriately ominous vibe. The sound design is minimalistic; more ambient sounds or voice-overs could enhance immersion. [h2]Final Thoughts[/h2] DownTheDead has its rough edges, but with the developers’ responsiveness to feedback, it shows promise. While it doesn’t introduce new ideas to the horror genre, it’s worth a look for fans of gritty survival horror games. The game’s low price point makes it worth a shot, especially with ongoing updates.

UPDATE 08/17/2022: So this game has had some major overhauls. My complaints on latency and the animations have been sped up and the animations smoothed out. The overall mechanics have been improved and it looks like they have a lot more work planned. It's enough to ad 1 point to my review and make it into the barely thumbs up as is and knowing it's gonna probably only get better from here. Like Zombie B movies? Like Latency in offline game? THEN LOOK NO FURTHER! Pros: - Zombies have red eyes for easy viewing - zombie vision let's you know where stuff is - Flashlight can turn on AND off Cons: - It's kinda Janky - The controls are not optimized quite yet - I'm not kidding about the latency feeling while playing. Overall it's got the great frameworks of a zombo game but it ain't re-inventing the wheel. And it dosn't quite feel worth the cost to buy yet. But it is still early access so we will see what the future holds. That being said I can only give it 2/5 zombos at this time.
