It seems like many of the reviewers need to accept the reality that you are not going to be able to save everyone. As much as you want to.Think of it like this::: does Rick get to save everyone in The Walking Dead?No matter how hard he tries, or how well prepared he is, it’s just a fact that some of his closest friends and confidants are going to die, and it’s a fact that he needed to accept.It’s a fact that you’re going to have to accept going into this game. If you can, there’s a very good chance that you’ll wind up enjoying this game.HUGE thank you to the devs for making a fantastic turn based strategy/zombie title. Once I started I didn’t want to play anything else until I completed it. And after that, I wound up reinstalling some older zombie based games that I previously just could not get into and played the bejesus out of them.Easy-peezy 5 stars from me.

I find myself in love with anything related to an apocalyptic setting. Whether the world ends mysteriously to disease, or technology has overtaken humanity... however zombies have always been a soft spot. I’ll admit I was very excited to see this recommended as I needed a good offline game to kill time on during my slow days. However, this game frustrates me to no end. A lot of times I apply so much strategy to the game, thinking that if it was made and finished it has to have an ending with the best possible outcome. Here’s the issue: it feels like the game is designed to take advantage of the death mechanic in which that your crew will die so quickly due to the sheer numbers. Even the best possible planning I still lose one member of the party, something that is going to cripple me in the long run if I do, because each level adds even more zombies. I even switched the difficulty to the easier setting and felt like it was still unplayable at times. I’ll have to sit for an hour rewinding and rewinding because I didn’t move exactly the right way and now a vital character is gone. Just corpsed. Definitely a fun game and tests my patience and strategy, but the levels are just too much sometimes... and it’s only the first few- as if the late game will be genuinely impossible or the game is just short and prepares you for that feeling.

This game is very fun: a simple turn based strategy with an interesting setting and a few good mechanics. The problem is the difficulty of the levels and the food mechanic. You won’t find enough food to feed your whole party on any level unless you let party members die during a level. Otherwise you will have to choose between party members to kill off via not feeding them. There’s almost no point in having the hunger/food system because the further you progress in the game almost every player in your party will start the level with one star of health so you need to try and be perfect and not get hit once. After about the seventh or eighth level the amount of zombies becomes just about impossible to surmount. As others have said, the mechanic of choosing to kill off members of your party is abused and not a great tactical idea anyway because you need as many attackers as you can get as you progress in the game. The lesser difficulty makes almost no difference either. Turn based strategies are fun when you can actually play them and not immediately head into losing party members. The later levels feel like one is always on the back foot and constantly trying to replay turns or the whole stage. That doesn’t make for much fun in my opinion.I paid for this game as it looked really fun and I appreciate the creator’s work; however, it’s a waste if it’s an impossible task to win and progress parts of the storyline without killing off half the party or more.

FYI: YES you are able to keep everyone alive. I’ve played this game multiple run throughs keeping everyone alive. It’s possible but requires a lot of strategic moves. I’ve had a lot of characters die as well. Enjoyed this game very much. Ppl complaining about a heavy advantage towards the death ratio. Just GET GOOD.
