Ok one more zombie survival type game, this one is top down arcade zombie survival and to be honest starts fun but at some point is more the same.

The graphics are good for the top-down style, even in low end pc seems good. Good lighting and water effects. Day and night cycle where night is a really challenge if you don't own a flashlight and gun. The craft for me is the best part, you have ton of things to craft. You have skill tree but in my humble opinion is crap.

Since this is a survival game is obvious has to be survival aspects and has many, like if you run for while you get tired, you will start getting hungry, you need to sleep. You have a little "monitor" that tell you when you need to perform any of those actions. When you are thirty you will found small fonts will water that you can drink and if you have empty bottle you can fill it and save it for later, also the bottle has many other functions like you can create a cocktail molotov with her. When you are hungry you need to hunt animals or find fruits during your journal, is not hard personally in each corner you always find something.

To get safe during night you need to clear bunkers, when you open the gate a giant horde of zombies come at you and you need to kill them all. Ah and when you need health you have two options find a medic kit - which is bit rare - you craft some medical herbs.

The combat system is easy to figure both with guns and melee what i din't like is the mouse delay that you have when you try to aim and the fact that sometimes the camera rotate to weird place and you can't see nothing. Also you have sort of signature kill, when you use a melee weapon if sometimes you can press F to finish the zombie in different way. You have bunch of weapons, machete/katana - this is good the cut through plants - bow for long distance and the arrows are recoverable, pistol and assault rifle.

Ok the storyline ins't the best and kinda cliche, at one point with becomes more of a chore than fun unfortunately. You have to do bunch of things like go the other point of the island, grab this fruit or grab my 20 packages that fall from my plane, not going to lie i was kinda bored. Or bad thing, saves and checkpoints, you can only save inside bunker so if you die midway you will lose progress like gear and stuff you found.

Overall, is not bad game but is not masterpiece either, buy it low price and play with friend since it has COOP.

~ 5/10
