Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's some pretty interesting parts in the story so far, and from the weapon upgrades I'm getting, I'm pretty sure I'm barely into the game yet, but we'll see I suppose.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Zombie apocalypse with a cool film noir style and fun top-down gunplay, fighting zeds, monsters, and bugs.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Shooting mechanics are great as well and with the wide variety of guns, it's pretty fun to be able to switch guns on the fly to gun down a LARGE zombie with a grenade launcher, dodging their shockwaves of them hitting the ground and switching to the pistol for the small fry.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like 2d games, I like the top down types and 3d isometrics, this game has dynamic lighting effects and it is not resource intensive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound: Sound in the game is fantastic, as is the voice acting in my opinion.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I am extremely thankful the pistol has infinite ammo and is upgradeable as well (At least on the easiest difficulty, I don't know about the other ones).
