Great Classic RPG

I found this to be a great game. Reminds me of the old school Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy games, but with shotguns and and a chainsaw instead of swords and magic.

Gameplay: Found the game to be quite good. I liked the board game feel that came with the over-world movement and searching. Loot was awesome, especially with the randomness to every weapon. A golden AK-47 carried me through the latter part of the game. Combat was good, lots of depth with the different character skills, different zombies and the different weapons. I didn't mind the whole zombie clipping thing even though it looks kinda weird, because it made avoiding the zombies quite a bit harder, which added some strategy to the over-world. I haven't tried the other characters yet, but the replay value alone with the vet using some different skill combinations is really good. I'm sure it's that way with the other two as well. The game is a bit repetitive, but I've yet to play a flash game that wasn't. And compared to some others, this has a lot to offer.

Graphics: At first, I thought the graphics weren't very good, but as I played further, I really like what they did. The game has a great hand-drawn look, and it works very well for this game. The over-world animations are lacking a bit, but the in-battle animations are great with many little details that really fit the character. The story cut scenes were very good.

Sound: The sound was good, nothing too special but it really got me into a creepy zombie killing mood.

The few gripes I have are minor. The menu on the over-world is a bit clunky, but I ended up just minimizing it once it figured out the hot keys, so no biggy there. I would have like some more zombie types or maybe a mixture of the different zombies in battle one battle. I guess it leaves room for improvement for the next one.

Overall: This is a fantastic game for many reason, however mostly because it's concept is so fresh and unique for a flash game. It is sad to see so many poor reviews because people can't read directions, but you can never please everyone. This is a great flash game, well done!

bad

the graphics are very bad, animations and sounds to, the only thing that i liked is the search weapons that could be best than another ones, so the only thing you need is search until you reach "perfect" weapons, the game is long, is annoying, and the last day i saved with the vet, and it look like a enginer novice, because hes very bad with the weapons, even with perfect weapons, no walk animation, the idea of give X steps, end turn, and when you killed all zombies you will be able to walk wherever you want is stupid, more that you need walk, end turn, and search wathever you want before kill all zombies, i was starting to go in the basement of the Dr. mansion, if you tell me i wasnt close of end the game, i am angry, because i saved and now i dont see my game saved, i lost all, and if you tell me i was close, i will be angry because i need to go to sleep, the game is to long, i started at like 12:00 and when i closed it before finish was the 2:23 am, this game is very bothering, and the idea of RPG is very stupid, i hate it, this game looks like a normal zombie kill alpha game, i really waith this game got deleted from this page.

Mediocre at best

The graphics are bad. White grains of pixels can be found on the edges of some of the graphic elements, which gives the game a 'sloppy' feel, and makes submersion into the game's universe harder.
I am not a fan of tilebased flash games. Especially not when its a top-down view. It makes the game feel like a gameboy game from the late 90's. I think an isometric view might have been better for the game.
Alot of effort was put into the game, and I can't completely ignore that. So I will give it a modest 5.

Liked it

The zombie wall thing just seems like lazyness of programmers :S but I really enjoyed the games. (more special items like the flamethrower pls ^^) Ammo was no prob once I realized that it wasn't thougth for popping shells in to random zombie brains XD. And the last tunnel thing was the only tricky part. (btw medic rulz)
Good job but pls I know you're acting as if zombies should be able to go through walls but why can they pass through dirt in underground levels too? I really think you guys were to lazy ;D.

TL;DR Zombiewallrun(even if intentional) is lame, rest is awesome, longer sequel pls
9/10 5/5
