Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I am offering a 'high score' contest, and whoever can post video gameplay of the highest score by next Sunday, March 8, at 7pm Eastern US time, will win a Steam copy of 'Zombie Army Trilogy'.. not yet released (launches on Steam on 3/6/15) with a value of $44.99 USD!!

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
A campaign mode offers dozens of missions that increase the difficulty level gradually but I find this and the related "story" in the form of a text unnecessary - this game is all about surviving as long as possible and its challenge mode gives us the opportunity.
