Interesting, but critical bug
Interesting game, however:
On day 2, some zombies got to the lower part of my barricade. I could not hit them no matter where I aimed. So, three unshootable zombies took my barrier out from well over 50% and I lost to targets I couldn't hit.
Good, overrated
I always feel kinda harsh reviewing the highly rated games. If this had scored a 3.something and not got a lot of attention, I'd be giving a rave 10/10 review here. But as it's the #1 game currently, I'll be more critical.
I'll start on a positive note by saying that it looks fantastic. Graphics as good as these are rarely seen in movies, let alone games.
The game itself, mildly entertaining, but nothing special. The concept was very unoriginal, can't keep count of how many base defense games I've seen on Newgrounds. The upgrade system of using a given amount of hours to search for weapons and survivors was a nice touch and something I've not seen before, but didn't do much to change the gameplay itself.
The game mostly just involved basic pointing and clicking to shoot. Although the character could be moved, this didn't serve as much purpose as it could have. I'd have liked this much more if the character wasn't refined to one area and movement was more essential.
It also got far too repetitive. The enemies changed slightly over time, getting a bit faster and wielding weapons, but I was always waiting for something really exciting to come running towards me. The background was one of my main problems with this, looked great, but didn't change nearly enough. Would've been better if the team had found better vantage points as the game progressed.
Nice array of weapons, but the system could be better. Why couldn't teammates be equipped with weapons not in use? Also, I'd have loved to see grenades here, but didn't unlock them in the time I was playing (can't say for sure that they weren't one of the late weapons though).
The game lacked story too. The occasional cut scene between rounds would have really brought this to life.
I think this game is proof that a game that impresses players in the first 5 minutes will score well even if it doesn't amount to much more after playing for a while. Definitely has the potential for a sequel, try and veer away from overused ideas and add some more original ones. This shows that you're one of the most talented users on Newgrounds, I hope you manage to realize that talent to its full extent.
Fun but too easy.
Its fun and its good to kill some time. but its too easy.
rapid-fire-gun + shotgun for the runners = no contest
i rarely got below 90% that way
oh and also: i had a bug or something. on night 20 there werethe two last army dudes walking towards me. some of my friends shot on of them and he.. well vanished. the other one went down by me.
so now the night wasnt ending. there were no zombies coming anymore and i couldnt do anything besides shoot into the emptiness.
and: does there come more when you get all weapons? or is its the same over and over after the ak?
Great, But...
I thought this was an awesome game and very fun. There is only one thing that bothers me. The aiming system is kind of off and is very annoying at times. For instance I would aim at a zombie that is very close (with the Ump) and it would completely miss for an entire clip and hit the zombie that is at the far left of the screen and up. It does the same thing when there are multiple zombie at the barricade. It's just a little annoying to try to shoot a zombie doing damage to the barricade and hitting a zombie behind him with every shot.
great game
this is a really good game its a little short i hope you make a second one with more wepons and upgrades
