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!
