Barricade

I'm definitely going to buy this again when co-op is added.

i've only played this game for 23 minutes at the time of this review and i can tell you it is very well worth the price, think of a half life styled game mixed with a bit of cod zombies and add the ability to build your own barricades and that is what this game is i think this game would go so well with a co op mode and steam workshop

I would recommend trying the game, its a lot of fun. the gun upgrades feel really nice and the props and level design fit the feel and theme really nicely, more time between rounds would be nice, even if its only 5-10 more seconds. More game modes would be cool as well. but for how it is, i would say its definitely worth at least trying the demo, you might be surprised how fun it can be to play and also math out as you play what you will spend your cash on and where you will put up barricades to hold or defend entry ways, or just nail everything into the starter room.

[h1] CoD: Zombies, but with a Retro Aesthetic [/h1] [i] I quickly take advantage of the lull in zombies to assess my defenses. I repair what I can, and grab various items nearby to fix the holes in my barricades. Seeing my ammo is low, I quickly restock at the nearby vending machine. The timer hits 0, and I realize I've now gotta hope my defenses hold and my aim is true... [/i] Barricade is an FPS that puts a bit of a spin on the Call of Duty Zombies formula. While the staples of CoD: Zombies are here (waves of zombies, vending machine with random guns), Barricade involves making, well, barricades to slow the zombies from reaching your vending machine. While you have your own health to worry about, the zombies are primarily interested in destroying your vending machine. Running out of health, or having your vending machine get destroyed, are lose conditions. While, as of this review, I've only attempted one run and the tutorial, I can honestly say Barricade is a blast to play. The shooting is very much in the style of boomer shooters, with less focus on precision aiming and more on just shooting enemies with bigger and badder weapons over time. The barricade mechanic provides an interesting wrench in the machine as you need to make sure there's always something between the zombie horde and your vending machine at any given time. While early waves could likely be tanked with enough ammo, you're likely to fail quickly if you don't tend to making a solid barricade to hold the horde back. My thoughts: Pros: Smooth gameplay: The game runs smooth, as a boomer shooter should. The movement is fluid, the guns are great, and everything works together well. You also don't have to worry about the various physics objects getting in your way as the game provides you with a "phasing" button that lets you walk through any various barricade objects. Lots of challenge: While I rarely felt at danger of dying, as the zombies weren't terribly interested in me, the real challenge comes from managing the various types of zombies in greater numbers as time goes on. The sheer numbers and types can quickly overwhelm you if you aren't keeping on top of your defenses. Cons: Replayability may be limited: This is really dependent on you as a player. If you're the kind of person who had fun with just trying out different ways of holding off zombies in CoD: Zombies, you'll likely have plenty of fun with this and get plenty of playtime. But otherwise there isn't anything like meta progression or the like that might be able to hold your attention. I honestly think I could get a decent amount of playtime out of this, but your mileage may vary. This leads into... Cost: The game is $10 USD normally, $9 for the intro sale. Again, this may depend on your views, but this may be a bit costly for this type of game. I think the cost is more than fair given the amount of content, but your thoughts may vary. Overall I'd say this is a solid title and deserves a try. It's a ton of fun and I think most zombie shooter fans would enjoy it!

This game captures everything I loved about classic COD Zombies, but adds a fun new twist to things, by letting you build your own barricades. It feels super smooth and polished, and has a solid gameplay loop. Highly recommend, especially if you are a fan of zombies or just shooters in general!

I am a master of nailing props now! Remember to repair props in the early phases to gain bank to upgrade weapons. Never surrender and you will eventually survive wave 20!
