Demo review -

Survivor type games can be very tricky to balance. A little too easy and they're too boring. A little too hard and they're frustrating. Unfortunately the demo for Apocalypse survivors falls on the latter end of that range. I've played a lot of these types of games so I feel confident judging them. The attack range on the zombies is off. First of all they run at you, and they run FAST. This makes them not feel like Zombies. Zombies should be slow, plodding, and legion. That's what makes zombies scary. The mobs in this game don't look or feel like zombies, so this game misses on the 'tone'.

Further not only do they 'run' at you, making dodging basically impossible, but their attack range is WELL outside of their perceived unit box. While it's fine for the hero of a survivors game to have an attack reach that is unrealistic, it isn't ok for the horder to also do so. There were many times that I took hits even though I was half a unit's distance away from the swiping 'claws' of the 'zombie'.

Give this one a pass, it's not worth the download time.
