“Very similar to the board game Zombicide, which is a good thing. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a straight forward, turn-based, zombie fighting game. Also...Dead Season 2, where are you?”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“Fun small turn based tactical that should rank higher. Varied missions, nice story that doesn't overstay its welcome, Innovative mechanics such as noise limit instead of ammo limit etc. Only cons not much difference between the 4 characters, and lackluster perks that force you…”
— a player, Steam review · 49 hrs played“Once you get your head around mechanics, it simply becomes too easy and repetitive. Moreover, the percentages of hit chance are somehow rigged to players advantage. I've played enough Xcom to know.”
