Yet Another Zombie Survivors

At the time of writing this review I don't have a lot of hours put into the game, but rest assured that is simply due to my availability, not due to my willingness to play. There will be many more hours put into it soon enough. I have identified quite a bit in this short amount of time, so here it is: [b]Ever see those mobile games in ads in which you ward off enemies, giant worms, or blocks?[/b] You get equipment and stronger mid-run and/or between runs? You customize long-term by dying and winning again and again - each session is life and death, but failure still results in some level of progress? Those games are riddled with ads, are designed to grind you down to dust without sinking money into them, and, outside of promotional events, are the same slog the whole way through with it never quite being enough unless you supply a large and consistent flow of cash into it. Now, picture those games slightly squad-based, isometric 3D defense, and with great graphics. Then, remove all the flaws previously mentioned in those mobile games. Then, slap on a modest price of $15 (I got it on sale at $10), the price of a regular moderate purchase on many mobile games. Then, make it a permanent addition to your library you can happily sink hundreds of hours into without any additional purchases needing to be made. Then, have many customization options not just for your squad(s), but also for game types, power-ups, items, abilities, overall team, and fine-tuning the short term and long term stats for every team member. [h3]That is what Yet Another Zombie Survivors is.[/h3] It doesn't take itself too seriously, which brings a lighter tone to the zombie apocalypse storyline. Storyline? Yes, it kind of does actually have one, which is usually unheard of for Survivor games. It isn't much, but as you complete runs, you unlock missions that are team-member specific and others that are somewhat randomized. These missions reveal a little bit of lore about the world and your team members bit by bit. For example, the Huntress discovering and seeking clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. You can also choose to just freeball it with no pressure to accomplish anything. If you wanted, you could start then immediately suicide yourself into the first zombie you see for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles then walk away with no consequences, just the satisfaction of witnessing Pyro's smug face get eaten. I strongly encourage you to look into this rather than any of the free to play games. You won't be disappointed.
