Super Death Arena is a game that just appeared in my library for no apparent reason. I had no idea where it came from, until I actually played it. I realized that it's from the same devs as Lifeless, so I assume all owners of Lifeless got this game for free, which is a nice gesture on the dev's part, and I applaud them for that. With that said, how is the game itself? Well, unfortunately, it suffers from a lot of the problems I had with Lifeless. I also noticed the devs are a big fan of Overwatch. But, the devs of Overwatch were also a big fan of Team Fortress 2, so I'll give these devs a free pass too.
[h1]Positives[/h1]
- Good graphics and optimization, just like Lifeless. Keep this up, devs!
- Lootboxes that drop every level that give you free cosmetics for your character.
- Customizable character model.
- There's more variety in zombies than before, with different zombie skins for different maps.
[h1]Negatives[/h1]
- Servers are based in Europe, leaving people in the Americas to deal with a constant 130+ ping, which is very frustrating when playing. Shots won't register sometimes and you'll be yanked back and forth a lot so until they get some servers in the Americas, get used to it.
- Tying in with the last point, the game is always online.
- 10 waves for every round is pretty short. Either add more zombies in between waves, or (what I recommend) add more waves.
- During games, your gun gets upgraded every round. Sad thing is, some guns are worse than others, so you have to deal with that terrible gun for a round. Consider adding a gamemode where you can buy guns like in CoD zombies.
- There's only 3 small and simple arena type maps, which get boring pretty fast. In the future, consider expanding these maps and add bigger, more complex maps. I guess you can say "Well, it is called Super Death [b]Arena[/b]" but I still think the maps are bland and boring.
- There's only two types of zombies: runners and suicide bombers. Suicide bombers run just like the zombies so they can be very annoying.
- Zombies come out of doors that are locked in place, and there's usually 2 or 4 of them. So you can just watch those doors and mow them down as they come out. It's lousy. Try adding more places for them to come out of, or add more doors.
- General lack of content.
[h1]Summary[/h1]
Super Death Arena feels like a beta or an Early Access game. It's definitely not complete. I hope the devs update this game with new maps, and add some more gamemodes like Solo mode. This game does have potential to be an underrated game, but right now, it's just not worth your money.
Should you buy it? [b]If you're European and like simplistic zombie arena shooters, then maybe for 5 dollars and less. Above 5 dollars is asking too much for this game right now.
