Dead Age

Very repetitive, just glad I bought it on sale or I'd be pretty bummed.

mixed feelings... - boring repetitive battles which takes most of the time (80%) - Game has so convoluting stats, but my curiosity pushed me on. To learn how this mess works. (rest 20% of playtime). - even on the easiest difficulty the game has a tight time limit on most quests. - finished 6 areas all the way to round 20 and the bosses are kind of lame (bullet sponges). In other tactical turn-based games you get a feeling of accomplishment when outsmarting the enemies. stoping an ultimate with a well timed counter-attack? preparing to block or buff for later? But not here. you get hit every single time.... Enemies with 2% block-chance, are dodging 4 consective attacks. Or staying alive with 1% health, while doing full 100% damage like with full health. Crafting is bad! getting too many materials of the same kind. Need some level reuirements for cetrain crafting recipes, takes ages.... the shop is ridiculously expensive. And if you try to put all points in one attribute, then game punishes you by giving a quest to waste 1 of the 2 companion slots with this useless non-combatant until you finish a quest with him, by clearing some areas... Leaving a maxed-out battle-hardened warrior behind to take a crafter instead... painful. I had some fun (I guess I am a curious masochist), at least it works and did not crash. Can give this game a try on sale, but there are a lot of much better games out there.

A solid indie mix of turn-based RPG combat and zombie apocalypse survival management. Scavenging for resources, making tough moral choices, and positioning your party for tactical combat loops keep things engaging, even if repetitive grind and minor balancing issues hold it back from greatness.

Not that good :/

Score: 3/5 A tedious, overly difficult and RNG-based management + turn-based combat + RPG game that doesn't have enough going for it. I'd much rather play Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead or Darkest Dungeon. Writing is okay, but not engaging enough to carry the other parts of the game. Combat is the majority of the game, and it's boring and repetitive. To be successful you need to use firearms. You will not get enough crafting components from using them to justify using the bullets. Enemies do very little damage, but you have to face 5-20 groups each taking 5-10 minutes to get past, each draining resources and slowly draining health while most zombies have absurd defensive stats. Each of these random combat encounters rewards one or a small handful of 1 type of item/crafting component. I never earned more resources in the field than I spent sending my team out. I only got ahead from the scripted quests and some lucky random events when I returned to camp. Moderately high difficulty with what appears to be a min-max meta strategy. Very limited options for preventing moderate losses from random events in the field and less so at base because you can have people on guard duty. Crafting requires way too many resources for even basic clothing and weapons like a primitive wooden club.

Slow and tedious gameplay, almost completely devoid of any tactical gameplay elements. Game structure is strange and not engaging. Story and setting isn't original in any way. Graphics are mediocre at best, the sound and music is annoying. This game currently has a 81% poitive rating ... I'm tired of low standards, so tired. It's a 3/10, not anywhere near worth the asking price.

Концепция зомби-RPG с элементами управления и пошаговой игры, на мой взгляд, действительно интересна... Не ждите от игры слишком многого Бои довольно медленные и сосредоточены на нанесении небольшого урона со временем, и в игре много сражений. Почти все зомби-женщины одеты в разные костюмы. Эта игра не для всех. Игровой процесс может стать однообразным.
