A Mass of Dead

Seriously, watch a damn gameplay video of this thing before you consider buying it. The trailer, the screnshots, and especially the promotional artwork sell a very different experience. Might have been a decent game at a dollar or two, but this thing isn't nearly worth the asking price of five bucks. It's basically a crappy upgrade-fest skinner box with a "fancy" paint 3d paintjob that would have been more at home on 2005-era Newgrounds than a proper Steam release. Also, it's worth pointing out that the control mapping doesn't seem to actually match the "tutorial" screen- nothing I could do would make a melee attack, and the "melee" button instead did some crappy five-foot teleport dash that leaves your character stunned for a split second afterwords, making it almost worse than useless. As for the actual game, it appears that the dev put basically no effort into balancing it. I mean, what the hell is wrong with the shotgun? It's barely got enough range to safely take down a single regular zombie outside of its melee range- there's literally no use to it! You can basically insta-win every level by just keeping your flamethrower upgraded and strafing from one side of the arena to the other, and pop off your invulnerability any time you're getting low on ammunition in the tank since it automatically refills it to max. Anyway, 2/10 overall- it would be fun as a free game on Kongregate or something, or MAYBE a dollar or two at most, but for the asking price there's no way it's worth it.
