Zakk Hazard The Deadly Spawn

Eeeh...this reviewing malarkey is a tricky business. Zakk Hazard is a side scrolling shooter that commits (for me at least) a grievous sin right off the bat. It's 2019 and I thought (perhaps mistakenly?) that it was accepted in this day and age that some PC players are former console plebs who like to (steel yourselves members of the PC master race) play with.....*gasp* controllers. This isn't an RTS where such a thought would be misguided, and yet....no controller support. Now: Steam has mouse and keyboard emulation, so no biggie - or so you'd think....But! It doesn't play like a conventional game where you aim in 360 degrees around yourself, and instead uses a wonky aiming reticule. You only aim in it's direction (rather than 100% at it's point) so there was no need for excluding controller support gameplay wise. Steam means you can still play with a controller, but it's almost unplayable nonetheless. It's fiddly and a little bit sluggish, so that's not a good start. Want to aim to your right? why go with just the simple act of pushing right on the right stick, when you could instead have to wait for the reticule to move allllllllll the wayyyyyyy past your character from the left to the right in a tedious fashion. It might work well for a mouse, but it totally sucks for a controller. That would be enough for me to give this game a negative review and leave it at that. Done and dusted in 30 seconds, with no hope of ever getting in my good graces. But it was sent to me for review, and I guess I should give it a fair shot. So here goes: graphically it's underwhelming but passable. Ditto for the sound effects. The music is nice. It runs well and seems pretty competently done. While I personally can't stand the control scheme, it is responsive and handles well for the platforming challenges. On the down side it's quite boring to play. The shooting and action is a bit pedestrian to begin with, and the platforming is pretty basic. Compared to something like Blazing Chrome, which is a fabulous run and gun shooter, this is trading so much on being cheap. Blazing Chrome is, however, admittedly about ten times the cost to purchase. Games like Viktor and Butcher blow this away without question, and aren't that much more expensive. It's only really the price that makes this stand out, and not the gameplay or presentation. For the cheap price this is okay - nothing more, nothing less. I wouldn't buy it due to the lack of controller support, and it being mediocre overall. But if you absolutely only have less than a couple of quid to spend, you should get your moneys worth. It's only with that caveat though that I can give this any positivity. There's better games out there that don't cost much more, and I think praising it for not running / playing like total crap is not anywhere near the same as saying it's an exciting game. It isn't an exciting game, and I only played it for twenty minutes or so before getting bored with it. It looks like it gets more fun later on, but the controls mean I'll never have the inclination to get that far.

This game is definitely worth the $1, it takes a little bit to figure out the goals but besides that the game runs really smoothly.

Good game that runs smoothly and has so far provided a good amount of entertainment. Installation was quick and flawless and gameplay was excellent.

this is a really good fun platform shooter runs really smooth. plug in mouse if your using a laptop works better than a track pad for aiming

I really enjoy the game, I love the play style and how it progressively gets more challenging. I am a big fan of the graphics and the overall design of the game and think it works really well. I can also appreciate that i am able to play it on laptop as well as opposed to most games you find!

i really enjoyed this game it took me back to the 90s reminds me of monster bash, commander keen , duke nukem 2 and much more. if you looking for the next revolutionary platformer you wont find it here but if you are looking for a game that you can play and enjoy it for what it is you cant go wrong here.

A fun side scrolling shooter with minimal bugs. I found the first few levels didn't take too long, and the overall game play was fun. I had few issues with the overall pacing of the game. It feels a lot like Risk of Rain 1 met an early puzzle game. As someone who has lots of love for the now retro games I appreciate the art style, and the physics. I had a few concerns with the playability when I ran into a few invisible walls mid-jump but overall a great game for the price. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys that retro feel, and has a couple bucks they don't desperately need.

糟糕的跳跃手感 默认平台运动的常见Bug 几乎没有反馈的UI 以及某些界面不能退出会卡死的Bug 距离作为一款能够发售的游戏而言还有很长的距离

1.без сохранений 2 капец как раздражает иногда застреваешь в блоках и т.д точнее в текстурах персонаж останавливается и летит в жижу и она тебя убивает 1 прикосновение к тебе, игру не советую + она не обновляется поэтому врятли это исправят за бесплатно бы выставили лучше было бы. Короче удалил игру, на новый комп скачал заново и что я вижу? правильно я начинаю с первого уровня это ♥♥♥♥♥♥, короче игру проходить врятли буду потому что говно, не советую! ( если только прям вообще не чем заняться )
