Steam’s top-ranked review for and against the game in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made.

Massively good idea - introduction to the game needs a bit of work unless the intent is to throw you into the deep end a little with it being overwhelming at first. Maybe a tutorial level with an example defense would be good

Most helpful, against the game

I want to like this game. It's very reminiscent of those old Java Zombie games with a major gameplay upgrade. But as it stands, I think it still needs some work. The game's only real failing I think is in the behavior of the civilians. They're actually dumber than the Zombies, utterly uncapable of navigating. They get stuck on all the buildings and basically wait until the Zombies are right on top of them before they decide to run. It basically means that anyone who isn't in range of a Broadcast or close enough to run for a safe zone gate gets killed. They make no attempt to avoid obstacles and get trapped in situations where they could honestly have just gone around the building they're stuck on and there's really nothing you can do about any of it. This one issue kills the game for me. I'd sit this one out until the civilian AI is taught how to navigate. Edit: Something else I probably should have mentioned originally is guns can pass through buildings, which I think kind of cheapens the threat the Zombies pose, especially in tight urban areas vs open parks and the like. The game does have 3D buildings that block movement so I don't know why they don't stop ground units from shooting through them.
