100% worth the price.
First impressions for some might feel a little mobile gamey but it's much more than that.
Pros:
- Very addictive. The loop of panic, calm, busy work, different activities, upgrading, all keep you wanting more.
- Base upgrading. This allows you to place different storage, grow beds, furniture, etc. You can swop them around as and when needed. I think this is done well. You slowly make your home self sufficient.
- Different ways to play. You can survive through traps, going out, trading, using the drone, etc. When one door closes you can think of another way to get what you need.
- Several floors. I played the demo so I was happy to see there are three floors to use. Makes the game feel less simple and flat.
- Time pressure. I don't like time pressure mechanics. But this isn't too bad. There is enough breathing room and the neighbour you can choose to help isn't that bad. It seems well balanced.
- More gameplay. There seems to be three characters you can play as? I haven't gotten that far yet though but I like that you can replay as someone else. There is also an endless mode which I'll probably play as well.
Cons:
- Subjectively some people might not like the art style. I think it's OK personally.
- The hordes can be a pain and I think there needs to be a little more clarity and access to ways to combat them. I didn't get the molotov until day nearly 30 I think. Traps seem hard to craft and I think there should be more ways to pick off zombies. Might be just me though.
Overall, this is a very reasonably price game with how many hours I will get from it. It's fun!
**Edit: fix the bug where zombies clip through your home and attack the back windows with no way to defend or repair, definitely an front collision/pathfinding bug... and Ill change review back to positive which I originally gave it - see above review.**
