Zombies and Orcs

[h3]Ты зомби или орк?[/h3] А вообще, какая разница, если тебе нужно продержаться тут 10 уровней! Довольно сложная товер дефенс игра, где нужно грамотно разместить юнитов и защитные объекты. Придётся очень сильно попотеть, чтобы осилить её полностью. [h3][b][url=store.steampowered.com/curator/31925504] Игровая аналитика от mkabatsky [/url][/b][/h3]

Жоский товер дефенсе, я ток первый левел осилил, тут всё по канонам жанра

More zombies! More towers! No more orcs...

Сложно! Сложно! Сложно! Охраняем портал, у которого десяток жизней. Для этого расставляем вояк за ресурсы, которые потом будут падать с побеждённых противников. Можем поставить не только вояк, но и разовые ловушки или использовать способности, которые вскоре восстанавливаются и ничего не стоят. Набравшись опыта можем сделать грамотный выбор в пользу улучшения вояк, ловушек или способностей. Не забываем по карте перемещаться, ибо не всю видно. Это всё здорово, но… как и сказал в начале: Сложно! Сложно! Сложно! Надеюсь, что совладаю с этой защитой, ибо интересно играется.

I really like tower defense, but this game is too hard! I couldn't finish the second level. The creatures from the third wave split into several new creatures from shots and run to the portal too fast, and I don't have enough resources to stop them. Maybe you can do it. Try it!

Again, I have no achievements, it is too difficult for me(

I cannot recommend this game as it is. Pros: It has a fun loop and some satisfying kills with simple graphics that don't really get too annoying. Cons: Most of your towers are not fit to battle the massive hordes of monsters you have to face. And the ones that are good against hordes are often so short of range you have to cross your fingers and hope they work for that wave. There is no over arching upgrade system, so more rogue LIKE than LITE, but that's a pet pev not a big one. But, later in, the monsters just straight up start ignoring the paths. Not just flying ones but ALL the monsters do, but you still can't place your spikes, towers, and the like anywhere you want. So, you are just boned, and cannot win, at all.

"Zombies and Orcs" is yet another construction kit template copy+paste from serial shovelware pushers, Gamesforgames/Atomic Fabrik. These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs. Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates, assets... at best, this is shovelware, at worst, it's a scam/cash grab. This time it's a very basic set of stolen 2D retro pixel sprites dumped on a basic GameMaker Studio tower defense game template... absolutely zero value as a real game, but it was never intended to be. Again, the paid reviews from the Russian review farm uncovered by Sentinels of the Store, and a cash grab/scam price on it. Atomic Fabrik/Gamesforgames have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2805630]Botmobile[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/car-stunts-48972]Car Stunts [/url] developed by Ace [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1906320]Arena Drift Master[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellanycode.com/item/206/zombie-drive-trending-game]Zombie Drive Trending Game[/url] developed by Virgil Source [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2474180]Save The Settlers[/url]" = [url=https://1up-indie2.itch.io/free-tower-defence-project-gamemaker]Free Tower Defence Project[/url] developed by 1UP Indie2 [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2387820]Beach Gas Gas[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/highway-racer-traffic-car-race/]Highway Racer Traffic Car Race[/url] developed by Unity Boy [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2805660]Fight Till The End[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/squid-7-challenge-top-trending-game/]Squid 7 Challenge[/url] developed by Flexy Gam [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284510]In a search of a new home[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/pixel-adventure-1-155360]Pixel Adventure 1[/url] developed by Pixel Frog [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2999780]Skeletos Sword[/url]" = [url=https://unityunreal.com/unreal-engine-assets-free-download/ue-props/1947-gothic-island.html]Gothic Island[/url] developed by UnityUnreal [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2805640]Desert Special Forces[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/frontline-army-commando-war-battle-games/]Frontline Army Commando War[/url] developed by Deeko Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2862030]Lunatic Taxi Driver[/url]" = [url=https://www.sellmyapp.com/downloads/offroad-taxi-driving-city-taxi-sim/]Offroad Taxi Driving Sim[/url] developed by Sim Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2833820]Fox Golf[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/golf-royale-104938]Golf Royale[/url] developed by Code Master Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2862050]Spaceship Driver License[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/x-racer-35344]X-Racer[/url] developed by Deer Cat [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just point and click stuff like a browser/Flash game. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. "Zombies and Orcs" didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "LEVEL 4", finishing the fourth basic level in the stolen GameMaker Studio tower defense blueprint, trivial to get, but less than 16 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, even the people who own this game weren't interested in it. The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.

They're all written in either Russian, broken English or ChatGPT AI slop, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling (16 CFR Part 465), these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law.[/quote] So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? "Zombies and Orcs" has the almost unethical price of $10 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. For comparison, the $10 asking price for this game could get you games like "Cities: Skylines", "Ghostrunner" or "Far Cry 5". No pixelcrap is worth $10. If developers want to get paid the same kind of money as real game developers who know how to do graphics properly, they need to learn how to do graphics properly. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

I don't think this is a very professional effort. When I first purchased it, it had no .exe file, so you couldn't even start it. After about ten days they fixed that, but now it feels like zero effort was spent on balance. Earning currency is really slow, so the enemy pretty much walks right over me. There are only three towers, and they can only be upgraded with cards you get periodically, I assume based on a certain number of kills, not sure, but there is sign that those cards actually make anything better. There are three tactical opens, mines (which cost money and are not worth it, they are gone really fast) a blade attack which is free and very effective with with a long cool down, and a slow zone that doesn't really last very long, but it is free (with a timer) so I drop it now and again anyway. The game allows for a continue option, nut as there is no way to tell if the upgrades do anything, you can't tell if they carry over, either. As is, not worth it at any price, I don't think I would recommend this for free. Three thumbs down, but fingers crossed the developers are still working on it. ADDENDUM: The third wave of the second map seems to be impossible.
