Lab 7: Cold Nights

Well I'm a terrible gamer. I purchased this game many, many, many Cold Nights ago and I'm just now writing a review. This game is amazing. It's so smooth with zombie killing action, the kick is a slow 300 'This IS SPARTA!' moment with such dramatized motion. The character running is a fluid weird 'Holy SHTICK!' motion. The gameplay is a monotonous wait for the next night of zombie gold while making sure you have enough ammo, lights, security and elevator power to survive the next night. The zombie gold is the only way to upgrade the power supply. The moment you're bored of waiting night after night for said zombie gold, you realize there's an entire other part of the game you haven't explored! I know it sounds like I was picking on this game but I wish this had more of a following, that way I could get a more in depth sequel. Please Dev, Consider Making A Lab 8 (or something lol)!

3 dollar flash game. 6 guns, 8 reload upgrades, one ammo capacity upgrade, 2 baracades 3 turrents. All upgradable. Game was mainly designed to be played on easy, this can be felt in higher difficulties as your ammo will end up running out from the overwhelming hoards and the reload speed will become too slow to properly push back said hoards. Roughly a 3-4 hour game. 6/10, could have been more. Needed more content.

Very much still an early access game, but still an amazing oldschool zombie survival with a super developer. this thing is going places.

Lab 7 is a fun 2D zombie survival action rogue-lite which relies on player exploration and resource management in order to succeed. The goal is to escape a zombie infested underground research lab by repairing electrical conduits on each floor in order to to access each new floor above, via the elevator, until you reach the top. While doing so you explore the mysterious facility, unlock weapons, unlock defensive turrets, discover new items, and discover the lore surrounding the facility. The game can make you a bit nervous at first because everything is thrown at you all at once right from the start. The (sole) developer of the game was kind enough to make a short youtube video describing the basics, which he links in the main menu; as well as provides a in-game poster right near the start that you can read which explains the basic mechanics. I only read the in-game poster and it took me about an hour to get the hang of everything and about 4 hours to beat the game on Easy difficulty. Normal took me about 4 hours as well. There are quite a few "secrets", optional areas to explore, and special activities to complete which will keep you busy for at least a few complete runs through the game. Main game mechanics: -Day/Night cycle. The zombie horde appears every midnight and grows in strength with each passing day. -Resource Management in the form of electrical power used to operate parts of the facility (doors, lights, elevator) -Ability to upgrade weapons -Ability to upgrade character -Ability to upgrade defenses (turrets and barricades) -Currency (coins) that are mostly earned by killing zombies, which is used to purchase all upgrades and unlock special items -Ability to level up weapons for extra damage (weapon levels carry over between deaths) -Exploration to find keycards, items that improve your stats, items to use for puzzles, etc All in all it's a very simple, but very fun game. The gameplay is quite addicting and even though there is not a ton of variety with the music, it's all very enjoyable. This game deserves a lot more recognition for what it is. Hopefully if it gets more popular the developer can keep improving and adding onto it. It's a good game right now, but it could definitely be a great game if expanded and paced out a bit more.

This game looks kinda unimpressive on the outside (I watched splattercats video and thought it looked dope.) It seems fairly new but if you can get it (escpecially on this sale easy $7 for a good game.) it's confusing on a couple things in the beginning but once you've played a couple rounds you'll start learning the meta and where things are. it's quite fun and very enjoyable. I've been coming back to this game every so often when i'm waiting for friends. The dev is super involved with playerbase. When i post a question it's answered within a day or so. If anyone posts a bug he goes right in on fixing it. (I found a bug and the next day it was already patched.) He has high hopes and ideas for the game, and so do I. I can't wait to see what he brings. I promise you once you get a feel for the game it is very fun. TIPS: bottom floor is basement, get some starting power up in security and elevetor, the max out lights as soon as possible for easier headshots and to see things laying around. left click to bring up inventory menu for turrets, walls, and pills the ammo box is 1 floor above basement, the armory is there too. Not to sure but I feel like the basement is the largest room so thats where I base my defences. (there is a vending machine barricade in the second floor.. havent really used that floor for anything.) if you use to much power and go negative the alarm will sound. to turn it off the switch is far back in the basement. theres some other cool stuff around good luck and have fun. :D

wasn't expecting much but then got sucked in with the gameplay loop and progression. The fact that you can level up your weapons by using them and also upgrading them when you find blueprints so you can go to the next floor to fight harder enemies. You can also upgrade your turrets and walls several times. I really like the horde aspect of it, trying to hold the line and not get pushed back. Also if you die, its game over and you have to start a new game from the beginning. Its a rough hidden gem. Took me about 2hrs to finally figure out how things work in the game and where to go. Died 3 times, but each time I was able to last a bit longer. The guns are fun to shoot. I think as long as there are more things we can invest our coins into to get stronger or maybe get new perks, it'll keep the game lively and give players a reason to keep playing. Also I've noticed the Dev is really active in responding to player questions or bugs. Definitely give this one a shot!

Lab 7 Cold Nights is a challenging, yet very addicting, indie zombie themed defense/survival game. Intro Lab 7 Cold Nights is an entertaining 2D zombie themed defense game that puts you in the role of a test subject who wakes up in a medical facility that's been overrun by zombies. Do read on as the game has a pretty surprising amount of features to it. Gameplay Much of Lab 7 revolves around attempting to survive waves of zombies that attack you each day. Whenever you kill a zombie you acquire coins which are the game's major currency and are used in everything. When you have enough coins, it's recommended that you initially put coins into restoring the lights in the basement. Without light, you won't be able to pick up items due to the darkness. There are also generators for security doors, and the elevator which are also required to progress. Any time you use the elevator, or open security doors, it drains their respective power by a specific amount so you'll need to keep an eye on your power reserves while exploring the facility. Defensive Items The game features 3 types of items to defend yourself with. The first you acquire is the 9mm Beretta pistol, which is a fast firing weapon that carries a lot of bullets but it isn't very powerful. There are other weapons that you can acquire as well including an MP5 and a BAR rifle to name a few. If you own the plan for a weapon, you'll be able to upgrade them in the armory using improved tools. You'll need to purchase improved tools using coins, this also applies to your weapons as well. The second defensive item is your turrets. There are three types of turrets that you can unlock. The first two are a rifle type turret, and the second is a laser turret. Much like your weapons, once you acquire the plans to turrets (They're usually located within security lockers), you'll be able to upgrade them, so they shoot faster and deal more damage. Finally, you have your barricades. These can be setup in the path of zombies to prevent their advance for a short time. It's a good idea to set them up in front of your turrets, so they'll damage the zombies in the process. Your barricades can be upgraded to withstand more damage which will prevent their advance that much more. It's also worth mentioning that as you explore the facility, you'll come across weapon themed manuals which increase your overall reload speed. This is incredibly handy, especially in the later stages of the game where you face numerous zombies at once. Verdict I got to try this game's demo during the early stages of the game's development and it's come a long way since then. It's a much improved game, and it's a lot of fun as well. All the new improvements are great and really add to the overall enjoyment of the game. I'm still working on completing the game myself (Darn giant zombie dude killed me near the end) but I can definitely give the game a recommendation. It's quite the addictive game once you get going.

挺好玩的，就是难度曲线有点大
