Reviews for "Zombies in the Shadow"

Well...thanks.. a LOT!
Good, but derivative
Art, sound, music, execution ... all good.
But zombie games are becoming way too derivative, just like WWII games. The market is saturated with them, and there's only so much that can be done to make them seem fresh. I didn't see enough in this game to really make it stand out from the crowd. If you had released this during a time when nothing but Hello-Kitty dress up games were flooding the market, this would have seemed a lot more awesome. The market just needs a cool down period to let it recover from zombie survival. Sadly, I don't see that coming anytime soon. If it's anything like WWII games, we're still going to see zombie games doing the same old thing for quite some time, until game developers no longer see a viable ROI on it.
I hate writing this, because it makes me sound like some dick who's only looking at this through Wall Street Journal eyes. But, I wanted to be honest.

YOu're right in saying there are a lot of zombie games, but we tried to give a new more thrilling atmosphere with the dynamic light and shadows. Hope you liked ;)
Fun but....
It was fun to play, although the barricades seemed fairly useless other than as an annoyance. It was far easier and more enjoyable to just jump the barriers and run around. The writing should also have been checked beforehand. Other than that, the game was fun.
Xplored responds:
thanks. BTW the barricades are intended as makeshift properly to give you a temporary partial advantage on the first waves of the level. But consider also that until barricades are there...also the central bracer makes light and the zombies are weaker in the enlighted circle...
Ehhh
Im not big on the aiming system in this game. great graphics though. 9/10-Graphics 7/10- Gameplay
Xplored responds:
Curious to know the gameplay suggestion you have. Feel free to write a PM.
Excellent Game
My only gripe is it was far too easy to get maxed out weapons. I would grab any weapon from one of the hallways, and it would be maxed out before I left, though I can see why you would do that.
All in all, very fun, I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Thanks for the 9!
