Definitely not a AAA zombie game but for it's price, it's worth trying this video game once. I got this video game for cheaper (for 49 cents to be exact) which is really nice and convenient. This video game is obviously inspired by the Left 4 Dead video game series for sure.

So this is Invention III/3 then? I have actually played both of the previous games in this series and for the most part they were rough. The first one had some ambition I think but the later games did away with that.

Story: This game starts in the same way as the last one. That is on the roof of a building inside a city. You have some guns and you can move. That is it really. From here you must shoot everything and make your way out of the city. There are many zombies but quite a few of them look the same.

Also for some reason many of the female ones celebrated "No panties" day when the end of the world struck it seems.

Pros
1. This game is very cheap. So cheap in fact that it can get away with a lot.
2. It is short but has a few different settings for the action.
3. The gunplay is far from perfect but also not bad.

Cons
1. The game is rough when it comes to pretty much everything.
2. The game has almost zero reason to even open a door. No items to interact with outside of health and ammo.
3. Very short. Under 2 hours and could probably be done even quicker.
4. Very few skins for the zombies. Get ready to kill the same ones many times.
5. Zombie audio was bad.
6. Zombies can fly through the air and glitch through walls.
7. Jumping can insta kill you if unlucky.
8. No bosses.
9. No story.

Those are some of the things I reacted on in the game. Overall this is probably the worst one in the series. The first is better at almost everything aside from the graphics.

It was cheap and my expectations were not high going in. I would give this a generous 2/5.

Expected more.

It turned out to be another tunnel shooting range for mobs.
Pros:
+ variety of weapons
Minuses:
- stupid AI
- low AI damage
- no characteristic difference in assault rifles (with the exception of the number of cartridges in the clip)
Based on the screenshots, I thought the graphics would be like in LFD2, or at least payday the heist, but everything is much worse here.
overall rating in my opinion 3/10

It's decent for 0.28 cents. Too bad it has no online features. The AI is crappy at best. I play far worst zombies game then this. If you can get it for 0.28 cents sure go for it. Not a long term game in any stretch of the imagination. I will still give it a thumb up mostly, However this zombies just run at you faster then you can run. If you get circle by zombies it over you can't run properly while getting hit.

1h game for 0.22$ I cant really like complain about everything or to mutch.
Yes, its a cheap *WISH* L4D2 clone, i see DEV/DEVS are huge fans of that game, so they wanted to make something of their own.
Yes its a cheap asset flip game, with random city and zombies in it, you go from point A to B DONE, with no story, no reading, to notes, nothing, just point and shoot, but the game works like what it wanted, I had little fun, blowing brains out of zombies and limbs was fun.
Not many types of weapons, but whatever for this price, for me best part was shooting zombies in the head :) And i had that.
The game ran really well, i have old pc, mostly running everything on low and off and still having some problems or barely having 30fps, but this game surprised me, i was running it on max ultra 60 fps, so really good on that part.
I got what i wanted in the end, just a point a shooting games with zombies, that is it, simple as that.

Simple zombie shooter. not bad for the price. It would be nice to be able to kick, push, or melee the zombies.
It has room for improvement, but still fun for an hour or two for the price it is at.

Very cheap for 1 to 3 hours of playtime in my opinion. I think if this game was more free world and had more weapons, ammos, meds, etc. it could potentially be one of my favourite games. A lot of potential, was decently fun too.

This game is so bad. Really, really bad. I guess it's worth a buck maybe. It's just another low-budget indie developed first person zombie shooter with outdated graphics. There is no resolution setting and the only graphic settings are low to fantastic. You also cannot remap the controls or save the game, not that you would really want to save this awful game and return to it. The zombie sounds are some of the worst I have ever heard and sound like dying baby Yodas or some sort of wounded muppet. The animations for these zombies are terrible too and they can seemingly teleport across buildings to reach you in lightning speed. The zombies also spawn in large groups and rush you extremely fast. I also couldn't see any way to heal or collect ammo. So once you run out of ammo, I guess you switch to another gun or just run around or quit playing. I was happy to uninstall this crap from my pc. I wouldn't bother and waste my time with this one.

This game is actually pretty fun. sad there is no achievements. finished it in 45 minutes.
This game could have potential especially for a dollar. Dev could make it left for dead with multiplayer and go through levels with friends even add special zombies too. The only gripes I have is in the begining after you walk out of the apartment outside and jump down to the next building is that you actually jump off you die. What your supposed to do is walk off instead which doesnt make you die. So tip dont actually jump off just walk off. Another gripe all the iron sights are bad looking but astleast you pretty much hipfire majority of the game since it is very accurate. Also the zombies pop in like while your walking outside they spawn in at a certain distance i assume to make the game run better. Also not alot of setting in the options. Another thing a tip for this game is strafeing make you move faster than normal so abuse that and the shotgun is the best gun I love it very much. I hope the dev does something with this just for a dollar alot of fun. good game to listen to music and kill zombies to

Great game for the price. I finished it in about an hour and 10 minutes. If you want to head shot zombies and go through well-designed levels, definitely what I would recommend.

Considering its low price point, I didn't have overly big hopes. Just hoped for a decent indie shooter. At first, I was quite impressed with the gameplay itself. However, I quickly noticed this is a Left 4 Dead 1 campaign (no mercy). It's essentially a low budget unity clone of no mercy. If this game had an originally designed level, I may have given it a positive rating considering the gameplay is okay for the price, but it being a direct clone of the no mercy level but just worse, I cannot give it a positive rating.

Edit: From looking at the development studio further, its quite clear that they pump out porrly rate & low quality games at high pace, likely just to try cash in on the minimal effort. I don't usually refund indie games even if I do not like them but in this case, I will refund this out of principle as I won't reward such practices even if it was only 0.79p

It plays, no lagg and headshots count

Several levels to mow your way through, if it's souly that you wanna kill zombies, this would be it!

The amount of health and ammo are spread in a balanced way throughout the game. There is not really a goal other then seeking that safe place. You travel through houses, rooftops, subways, farmland, sewege, etc... For environmental surroundings, the game gives you that much of variation.

Okay, sometimes entities clip through objects and sometimes through scenery, but it doesn't happen that often (only 2 times), so it's not something to give a bad reviewpoint for it.

PS: I love the shotgun, how the heads split open with all that flushing blood squirting out of it in many directions! :D

The game runs smooth, easy controls, responsive, no lagg, just great!

Good for some hours of good old zombie killing!

name a better satisfying zombie shooter at the same price, i'll wait.

high quality, good sound design, satisfying gunplay, versatile weapon choices and scenery, about an hour long of gameplay for $1, def worth the money.
picture L4D Ui and guns with korean style bolter zombies. one large level with many checkpoints to mark your progress

Cons:

- Lack Of Gun Variety
- Aiming Down Your Sight Is Less Accurate then Hip Firing
- Lack Of Zombie Variety
-Zombies Walk and Run Through Building and other objects
- No Story or Tutorial

Only Get If Your REALLY BORED!!!

I was actually quite surprised by this game, saw it on sale for like 50 cents so I picked it up and honestly it's not horrible. Is it a great game, not by any means. The zombies animations aren't what I would call modern and the sounds for the zombies are interesting to say the least. The guns in the game feel good and do the damage I would expect for each, though the variety is lacking, at least on my run of the game I only found the SMG you start with (which has a suppressor but not the right sound for it), an assault rifle, a shotgun, the starting pistol, and a desert eagle, speaking of the sounds, the guns also seem to just use sounds ripped from counter strike or maybe just a free asset that sounds quite alike to those in CS. The game takes about an hour to beat, depending on how fast you go and if you load a game or not (game only saves at the start of one of the five "levels" so if you do stop mid game you may end up running through half a level a second time). All in all the game isn't horrible, but not amazing, if this is a new dev or learning dev, I'd say there is potential for more in the future and I could see some quality improvements if they continue to work on more games.

To start: Devs, if you are reading this, please put underwear on your nightgown zombies. Please. Pretty please.

But anyway, decent enough basic zombie shooter for the 49¢ I paid for it. Some janky behavior such as zombies clipping or teleporting up a hole to get at me. Lighting and atmosphere were generally pretty good (a good part lifted directly from L4D No Mercy). Only one type of zombie in a handful of designs but no spittin', jumpin' or fartin' zombies. Just dead dudes running at you. Weapons felt overall decent though once I had the Desert Eagle I almost never used anything else. Pistol sniping with the crosshairs was basically all you need for most of the game. Ending drags a bit since it's so wide open that you just go through, headshotting zombies with the pistol from far away then clear the small resulting rush mobs.

It's not great. It's a cheap Unity zombie shooter. But I fired it up and had enough fun to play to the end so got my half-buck's worth.
