Reviews for "Epsilon Strain"

poor.

the game is just way too repetitive. you fighting in the same locations again and again and the only difference is just the size of the arena and the amount of zombies put in. everything looks identical, so there really isn't much of variety in level designs. all you do is just round around in a circle and shoot zombies that seem to have really poor A.I. they never really notice you even if you are shinning your flashlight right on them, unless you are really close or shoot at them. and they always hustle up while they engage you rather than spread out to increase the challenge. there is also a shop where you are able to purchace, and you can also decide what you want to equip as well. I won't go too much in depth with those cause I haven't really focused enough on those. besides, there is a character limitation.

graphic wise, this has got to be one of the worst flashgames I've ever seen. not ever played, there are games that have way worse gameplay than this. but the graphics are just really awful, the flashlight is just terrible and seems rather useless cause the game can actually do with it. if you wanted to see what was behind you, you don't have to bother turning the flashlight in that direction, cause you can already see. the visuals are really poor, and you just seeing the same things again and again. and the blood just looks terrible, really is the worst blood I've seen in a flash game. the blood just looks like bloody cheese puffs, to me. the animation is really bad as well. you character is just stiff even when moving, and the only real animation you see is the zombies walking. when the zombies die their bodies are instantly laying on the ground, so there is no animation for that either.

there really isn't much for sound. the music sounds good, but the sound effects is just isn't enough. mostly you just hear shooting, but at least the shooting sound effect sound good.

Not bad.

Not a bad zombie shooter. It's not quite The Last Stand, but still pretty good. Mission based objectives would be nice, just walking around killing zombies does get a bit tiresome. The all-identical square rooms with no cover do get a bit boring, and the enemies movements quickly become easy to predict and counter. The upgrades are a nice touch, though. Fun to play around with. It's a good start, but there's definately room for improvement.

Very amusing

I gotta say this is one of the most entertaining zombie games I've played on a PC. No joke. Keep up the good work!

Very Bare Bones

It looks like nothing special. It plays like it too. There are much better top down zombie shooter games out there. The rooms are tiny here, and it all feels like the just the minimum of effort was put into it.

hold your attention for no more than...

but fighting the same zombies with very little upgrades and too little money gets boring after 5 mins.

if your here for a good time waster though, this is the game for you.
