The basic premise for the game sounded amusing. However, I ended up being disappointed with the design. The upgrades system was terrible! All of the upgrade are locked at the beginning of the game and are each unlocked at certain points along the way. Needless to day most of the game involved simply taking a health upgrade, only to fall into a pit repeatedly because the double jump will not be unlocked for another 20 levels...
I should had review this game sooner to be honest.. The developer has put too much effort into it and deserves recognition. The opening is interesting.. At first it seems very simplistic and empty but this is an illusion.. You'll soon come to realize the game has A LOT of stuff to do. It will keep you entertained for hours and chances are you might even restart the game just to power up again. No experience is the same as they are indeed random generated but NOT in "boxes"; that means that it's not like it has a preset of many areas and puzzles together 3-4-5 of those for a run. It's more detailed and complicated. The controlling is smooth and responsive. If you fail, it's on you :P Given time you'll become better and stronger. Maybe even the dev might come to say hi ;) The achievements aren't very easy or very difficult but, in my opinion, they help in giving you more reasons to try something new in the game. I like this approach and it isn't annoying. I already had many hours of fun with it and I will have a lot more as the game won't let you leave so easily.. You'll want to revisit. So yes, I recommend this game "with my eyes closed" - pun intended ;) For more reviews, follow my curator https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44864435-Mewesome-Reviews/
Return Of The Zombie King is a satisfying 2D runner with simple controls and gameplay mechanics that make you feel like you're making progress on every run. Your goal is to collect coins, die, upgrade and repeat to make your way back to your kingdom and retake your throne. I finished my first run in 7.1 hours to give you an estimate of the game's length. It may be slightly more or less for others, depending on their skill level. If you're an achievment hunter, you may be tempted to not buy ears or eyes to get all the achievements in one run. I'd advise you not to do this! The levels (particularly the pixel art backgrounds) are so beautiful that I somewhat wish there was a photo mode, so you really don't want to miss out of that! I'd recommend a second playthrough after finishing the game for the first time, so that you can really appreciate the beauty of it on your first run. This game is made by Return To Adventure Mountain, aka Chris Zukowski - the creator of other games, including 1 Screen Platformer. As I pointed out in my review of that game, the amount of effort and love that goes into these games is heartwarming and inspiring. There is a genuine and raw passion at the core of all his games and his community, if you don't believe me, visit Chris' website and read the 'about me' section. Something I love about all of Chris' games is that they're so straightforward with no clickbait, you get everything you're promised and there's no exaggeration to draw you in, just simple and enjoyable experiences! Based on my personal experience, there are a few improvements that could be made to tidy up the game: [list] [*]An option to skip the coin count at the end of each level. After over 100 times, I found it frustrating to have to wait for coins and kills to be counted before being able to access the shop / next level. [*]Add a coin counter whilst in the level, so that you can see how many coins you're getting in that particular run. Not necessarily useful as it tells you at the end but some players may like to see it. [*]Create a better way for the levels to end. I found it strange to complete a level only for my character to continue running into a wall or a pit of spikes on the other side of the sign. [/list] All the changes mentioned above are simply small features but I think they'd go a long way to ensure a more fluid game experience. With all of that said I would definitely recommend this game, especially if you enjoy simple controls, pixel art, the developer's other games, or any combination of those. I bought this game on sale but would happily support Return To Adventure Mountain and the wider team in any way so that they can continue to create these amazing games.
Return Of The Zombie King is a trash mobile game that is ported to PC for no reason. You only use spacebar to jump, that's all. This is a platformer game where you can't control your speed or stop your character. Buying back your body parts idea sounded cool so I wanted to try this. Only 5 or 6 upgrades are body parts and rest of them are useless garbage upgrades. Oh, by the way you need spend sh*t ton of money to get these useless upgrades. First 2 worlds was fun to play after that it became too repetitive and too grindy. Any sane person would stop playing after the 3rd world. Looking at the achievement unlock rate, most of the people stopped playing, good for them. Since I'm a mentally deranged person, I continued playing. Let me tell you, Borderlands and Diablo requires less grinding than this piece of dog t*rd. Also, levels are procedurally generated, it means they suck a**! There are floating enemies, floating spikes, level names appear behind the level geometry and you can't see it. Don't expect any of this stuff to be fixed because this game is abandonware. Because of it's random bullsh*t you can get stuck some parts in levels and game instantly kills you. Let me tell you how you get new upgrades in this game. You open a chest and get the upgrade, but you can't use it right away. You have to buy it from the store to use it. What kind of idiotic design choice is this! You know, there are games like Earn To Die & DLC Quest that requires some grinding. Those games are fun to play and with a little bit of grinding you can easily unlock everything. In this donkey sh*t however, you either play a level at least 100 times or you can't get new upgrades. Thanks for wasting my time Return Of The Zombie King!
The game is a bit short and on the easy side, but very entertaining; there is a bit of grinding to do to buy the upgrades, but I enjoyed returning to past levels and redoing them with the new abilities (and gaining more gold). Just don't expect Shovel Knight or Cuphead, since this is a game designed for mobile platform too. Worth the price, for me.
La primera vez que lo jugué me asuste porque no sonaba el juego y no sabia que se veia en blanco y negro, pero seguí jugandolo y descubri que poco a poco vas desbloqueando cosas en el personaje, ahora estoy enganchadisimo al juego y lo recomiendo al 100% es muy divertido y pasaras horas de juegos sin ninguna duda 9 / 10 YT: TavoHD y Tavo Juega Twitch: SoyTavoHD
Game forces you to grind levels over and over until you buy upgrades sufficient to finish the level, almost nothing requires your reaction skill everything is grind and rng on enemies locations. Also screen before the level starts you on upgrade shop and you need to press down to start the level. This is bad because I lost my coins several times buying upgrade I didn't need at the moment.
прикольный раннер с прокачкой, где мы буквально собираем себя по частям. начинаем скелетом, собираем монетки и покупаем себе глаза (изображение становится цветным), уши (в игре появляются звук и музыка) и т.д. в целом это отличный тайм-киллер с интересной идей и простой, но приятной пиксельной графикой.
