Organ Trail: Director's Cut

A nice little homage to the 1985 version of The Oregon Trail that doesn't take itself too seriously, with lots of references to other zombie media. (The Left 4 Dead references especially are a nice touch.) The [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/408300/Organ_Trail__Final_Cut_Expansion/]Final Cut DLC[/url] is pretty much required, since it adds a lot more stuff and makes the game more engaging; without it the game is literally a 1:1 remake of the '85 Oregon Trail game. Instead of selecting a profession, there's four difficulty levels plus an endless mode, so you can play casually or challenge yourself if you wish. I'm pretty sure there's more minigames than in Oregon Trail, too. Almost all the game's graphics are something you could see on an Apple II, and even the button pressing sounds are reminiscent of key presses on an old keyboard. If I had to make criticisms, I have a couple relatively minor ones: the bandit/zombie deer road events are more tedious than anything, and the final boss literally comes out of nowhere. Also, some achievements are broken and require following [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2193603130]this guide[/url] to restore functionality. Still, Organ Trail is pretty good and I'd recommend it as a nice throwback and fun twist of the Oregon Trail formula.

Looks as crusty as I'd expect something on nes or older to be. Games like these would have made the nes have more replayability than mario, dig dug, and et! unless it did, then I am genuinely disappointed in the older generations because no one ever mentioned it! What this game lacks in graphics, it makes up for in gameplay. But even the pixel art has its own charm! Shooting is a bit awkward and I didn't see an option to disable inverted aiming so I immediately inverted it using steam input overlay. It has some annoyances, but honestly I kinda prefer it that way. If everything was easy and simple, I wouldn't pay as much attention and end up watching tv while I play. I didn't buy this game to be a glorified fidget spinner. That's what destiny 2 and diablo iv are for. If you have a thing for death road to canada but want something back a generation of gaming, you should seriously give this a shot!

Broken game with achievements that dont track. Not worth it at all

The best zombie parody of The Oregon Trail I played for ages

one of my favourite zombie games, a great podcast game.

Turns out the zombie apocalypse is easier to survive than dysentery. 7.2🐎/10🧟

Do you like Left 4 Dead? Do you like Oregon Trail? Do you like old dos games that make you read through the story and everything look like it's a retro screen? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then you're likely going to enjoy this one.

OH OH OHHHH ITS A GOOOOOOD GAME!!!!

Surprisingly I got immersed in the story even though its just a bunch of pixels. Great presentation.

Honestly, nothing special. Gameplay is pretty basic, storyline doesn't have much. Car driving is automated (You can change speed of the car, but that's all there is), all you do in the game is just manage supplies, shoot or run over zombies/bandits during ambushes, jobs, scavenges. You're also responsible for keeping the party healthy, as well as fixing the car. Perhaps I had too much expectations for this game. Controls are bad and lame. The way to shoot specifically. You need to click on a target and pull on yourself for a while to bring up a a very short trajectory that is very inconvenient. I expected this to be The Final Station but driving through USA, not a hybrid between idle clicker and isometric shooter. Also, it doesn't make sense why would the player have a "party". What benefit is there to them outside of final boss battle? There isn't any lore reason to just not shoot them all in the beginning to save up on resources. The base game is a huge disappointment, I don't know how much better DLC makes it, but this doesn't matter because this review is about base game. The overall playtime of campaign + extras is about 3.5 hours. If you're going to buy the base game alone, expect a low quality zombie retro game.
