FAN ART

PROS

World is pretty and felt alive and joy to explore full of secrets and supplies, weapons, perks to find.

Enemies all unique in terms of movement of normal zombies and even has some that have armor so have melee them instead shooting them and even has special zombies that are unique and have own attacks and strategy to defeat them.

Weapon variety is very impressive, unique all weapons have durability meaning new repair or keep eye on them so don’t break during fights.

Alot of skills to learn that help you improve on runs and can be upgraded alot which is great as makes more runs less punishing.

Procedurally generated levels keeps game fresh as every run and every stop is new with random items, enemies and more to find.

Mutation system is great as can give you good bonuses or bad ones other times but always different each time.

New heroes when you die can be spawned with better items making newer runs better.

Alot of content very fun like the permanent virus timer that removes health as keeps the pressure on.

CONS

Camera can be annoying when trying see in buildings or round corners.

Game is challenging as virus timer does make you feel rushed sometimes when you want to explore at your own pace.

OVERALL SUMMARY
