hey man i dont know if you remember me but i found you on tiktok and mentioned to you that the game looked like left for dead and you said to me that was your inspiration, and that alone made me want to check it out even more.
i wanted to buy this game for the longest time, i just kept putting it off for a little bit, and i am sorry about that. i was actually thinking today, "i should buy that game today," and when i checked the price i noticed it was free to play, which is really cool, but i would honestly be more than happy to pay for it too.
here is my honest review. i only played a few rounds on the first zombie map, so this is not a huge hour count review, but even with that small amount of time i thought the game was great. i am also going to mention that the last review i saw seemed to come from someone who did not have much patience for a game made by a solo dev, and i do not mean that in a rude way. i just think people should give a game time to breathe before judging it too hard.
i died a few times while getting used to the combat system, but that was on me. i usually play with a controller on pc, so this was a completely new experience for me. at first, i was confused because the game did not clearly show me the buy prompt for doors and guns, and i had to figure out the pc keys on my own. it took me a few tries before i understood that the buy button is **F**, and honestly, that is not a bad thing at all. i just had to die a few times and learn everything the hard way, which is part of the experience for a new game.
i also do not fully understand the perk system yet, but that is fine. i will be playing more so i can understand it better. that is what you do with a new game, you experiment, you play around, and you slowly figure things out until everything starts to make sense.
was the game fun? absolutely. it reminds me of call of duty mixed with left 4 dead at the same time, and that is a really good thing. did i love the guns? yes and no. i did not really like the smgs because they felt weak to me, but that could just be my own preference. on the other hand, i really loved that the starting pistol is a **desert eagle**. that was awesome, and i spammed the hell out of it because it felt so good to use.
some of the zombies also reminded me of left 4 dead, and others reminded me of plants vs zombies, especially the ones with buckets on their heads and paper bags on their heads. i thought that was unique, funny, and cool, because you only really see that kind of thing in plants vs zombies.
did i play this game while drunk? yes, i did. did i still have fun? yes, absolutely. will i play again? yes, i will. i did not put in a ton of hours because playing at 4am was already pretty late, but even with that short session, the game left a good impression on me. the sounds of the zombies even scared me a little bit, which is a good sign because it means the game has atmosphere.
did i see any errors or problems in the game? no, not really. the only thing i would say is that i could not customize the key bindings or see the controls, but i do not really see that as a negative, more like a learning experience for now. still, i would strongly recommend adding key bindings and a visible controls menu later on, because that would help new players a lot.
i would also recommend giving the game its own logo instead of using the unity logo for the icon. it is not a bad thing, it just would make the game feel more complete and more polished. i also think controller support later on would be a great addition, along with more features overall as the game grows.
overall, i think this game has a lot of opportunity to improve, and i can already see the potential. i really enjoyed it, i do not hate it at all, and i would absolutely buy another game you release in the future.
