Gameplay is very similar to Heroes of might and magic, but I find myself preferring it. There are a decent number of random buildings to find and stuff to pick up. There are a lot of artifacts to equip and a good number of heroes available to stick them onto. Variety of stats they give is a bit lacking, but that is the same as Heroes of might and Magic as well.

While the graphics are a bit weak, it plays fine. Combat is usually less frustrating than heroes of might and magic. You lose units a lot in both games but since everybody moves at the same time they are engaging together instead of your archers targeting their archers so their archers don't take out your archers first.

Magic is more available and more functional. Some of the magic is overpowered, some is completely pointless. One set completely breaks things wide open for abuse. I won't say which one. I gained over 6000 army strength in one battle using it, however. One battle and I more than doubled the size of my army. Awesome and ridiculously overpowered. That's the kind of overpower I like.

I do wish it had online coop, but remote play together works with just a bit of inconvenience.

A zombie game with controls you can configure? A very rare thing indeed. So many games don't have this most basic and most important of features. I could recommend the game for that alone considering it makes it more competent than many other games.

It can run in a window. Another major innovation over many other games. Another big plus to me.

Gameplay is simplistic at times, but I enoyed it enough to play through it once without cheating other than save/reload scumming. The graphics aren't the greatest, but they work fine for me.

The combat is right click until your gun target turns red and click. It's easy with one enemy, but gets chaotic once you get more than two enemies at a time, especially the fast buggers.

The auto aim works fairly well for the most part, but does sometimes make you whip around wildly when you are trying to move the target up or down and changing targets can really be a pain in battles with more than two enemies. You do NOT want to have a gun fight anywhere near a roadsign as 90% of the time you will immediately auto aim at that sign. I guess that's why signs all over the world in real life have so many bullet holes or dings.

Hunger and Thirst system works fine. There is a real lack of variety in food you can find and most of the game will be feeding yourself corn. Much like many food products in the real world are made of variety of corn, only with literally just being corn on the cob instead of corn starch.

Getting new members for your community can be a pain unless you find some "volunteers" after you ask nicely with your guns.

Online co-op worked smoothly for me and a friend. Online co-op is another rare animal these days. Great to see it here.

Overall, good game. Hopefully Survivalist 2 has more to it, but this is a good start.

The less you know of it before you play it the more you'll enjoy it.

Despite the simple graphics and simple combat system, the game has a great emotional aspect to it as you get further in. The ending especially, well, endings. There are various endings depending on what you do. Do something or don't do something, it'll be emotional either way.

The bullet hell stuff isn't too bad for the most part, but some of them can get difficult.

Play it how you want, don't worry about how other people have said you had to play it.

Also, good soundtrack.

Wouldn't even run on my system. Nothing but black screen no matter what I tried.

Pros-it was a pretty black screen, not like some of those ugly failure game black screens.

Cons-it was a black screen after a 14gb dl.

I enjoyed this game. Graphics are quite pleasant, the voice acting is good, and it plays like it should. I didn't find any game breaking bugs or any bugs that I recall. I did get stuck in a couple areas for a while, though I was sure I tried the one thing that did work already before I looked it up.

All the good things said, it's short. It doesn't take long to go through it, even with taking a while to figure something out. The blacksmith shop should definitely have been used for something given the amount of detail that was put into it.

It is also fairly easy, but that is as good as it is bad.

If they made a Jolly Rover 2, I would buy it.

I enjoyed Aztaka. The graphics, music, and setting were all quite good.

Overall, the game play was good, too, so long as you don't use your spear to attack anything. Attacking with your spear is slow, clunky, and nearly pointless once you get the air attack. Because of how worthless the spear attack is, two skills were also useless and I never once used them in the game after trying them out the moment I got them. They are just too slow and too difficult to even activate, let alone use effectively if they did decent damage or didn't leave you completely vulnerable.

Jumping was surprisingly responsive and is the most effective means of attack in the game later on in most situations, even trumping magic for most enemies.

The magic system was unique and I rather enjoyed the difficulty it added. However, you will not want to use two of the spells too often later in the game, as they have a tendency to crash the game at random.

Stability is a severe issue in Aztaka. It crashed regularly for me, sometimes when doing nothing but walking along, but usually when trying to use the two attack spells you don't start with. It will just freeze for a few seconds, then go to Not Responding(in windows 7) and finally just give up and die. Save often.

It is somewhat short, but I enjoyed it and am not sorry to have bought and played it.
