idk how to write this in a more polite manner as i think what matters more is the opinion



I do not not believe that when a game is on app stores on phones, and has good ratings, it does not mean it belongs to higher leagues like steam.

Just like any other "Steam Emulated" game, its incredibly boring, repetitive, and forces microtransactions down my throat, I don't even have to mention that incredibly forced "Required Currency to Even Play The Game" (aka the gas cans)

The animations are somewhat decent for a phone game, some of them were painful to watch as they were extremely linear, the zombies, move extremely slowly, and the way they also move makes it hard to headshot them, while I know I played this game for only an hour, for games like these you need almost 0 playtime to determine what it actually is about.

Its essentially a walking simulator with small hints shooting a gun at a zombie, but mainly when you're FORCED to, when I played this, i felt like a toddler, always seeing the navigation ui every 20 meters on a 150 meter map.

However, for a mobile game, I think it is pretty good, I already played the WW2 based game from the same developers, and it was the same like this one, incredibly repetitive, and only something you'd play to dose off and kill 30 minutes before getting bored.

6/10

lots of fun

It's rare that a game can get you to care about whats happening in it. As if something truly important is happening inside it. It's a game. Sure it can be fun, but get me to care? Become emotionally invested? That is rare.

The opening scene a woman is giving birth outdoors surrounded by armed gunmen, in the middle of the night, and she's filthy. Already i'm concerned. Then, she gives birth to the baby and you get to name him. Then, the lady turns into a zombie and kills everyone but you. And the baby is lying on the ground crying, and a hoard of zombies is quickly approaching. With a newborn baby lying on the ground. And you are standing there with a gun.

I went ballistic.

I audibly said to myself, noone is touching this f***ing baby.

I took out the one hoard, but the second one got to the baby before i could kill them.

They didnt eat the baby. They ignored it. And for some reason, that didnt sit right with me.
On one hand im glad they didnt eat the baby, but on the other, i failed. By job was to save that baby, and the zombies got to him first. But they just walked over him and straight to me. I'm sorry but these are zombies. That's a dead baby. Mission failed, restart the mission. Nope. I wrapped them up, picked up the baby, put him in the van, grabbed the minigun, mowed the next few waves down and dipped out. No longer emotionally invested, but still, that was rare.

The game itself is great. Micro transaction spam ruins the atmosphere. instance based world map with an in menu fast travel system that uses fuel poses a threat to my sanity, however i have yet to run out of fuel.

there is a purchase option to pay 10$ and no longer have fuel be an issue. The issue is the stupid gold coins system doesnt go away. instead the 10$ option means you get 10 gold coins per level. meh.

the game is great. i'd love to see a walking zombie 3.

you can keep the FTP model with a simple fix.
make the 10$ purchase remove fuel, and make gold coins purchaseable with silver coins from a villager.

other things id like to see improved:
make it open world. (i can dream)
add crouching. not even a sneak mechanic. just crouching. reduce weapon spread when crouching done.
add jumping. seriously weird this isnt in it. probably cause it was a mobile game? idk
make equipped gear show on character model.
add a melee. like a kick. so you can push back zombies while reloading or something.

other than that. this game is great.

love the art style.
love the story.
love the mechanics.
heck even the instance based world is growing on me.

i cant get immersed so probably wont play anymore. but thats cause of the ftp model crap and i only really play open world style.

you have the skill. keep going :)
