Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is as barebones as zombie apocalypse gets but there's decent replayability thanks to the gameplay, at least until such time as you've mastered the mechanics on the standard modes and played out custom scenarios to your satisfaction.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a lot of reading to do, but in small chunks that bring you deeply into the story without overwhelming you with walls of text (like my reviews? Hmm... lol~ )
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are a bit stark and simplistic, but that works with this game, in so many respects.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really like the music and the sound effects, as really help to set the tone, and sometimes let you know that you're in trouble, too!
