Death Scourges

Overall, I think this is a very interesting project with a lot of potential. You can really see the effort and care put into it, and that’s exactly why I’d like to share some feedback that could help improve the experience even further. For context, I completed the game on normal difficulty and it can be finished in around 2 hours. Reloading triggers an automatic zoom. It might be nice to have an option to disable this, as it can feel a bit intrusive during combat. Melee combat feels somewhat limited: the range is short and the character moves quite slowly, which makes it less appealing to use compared to other options. The shotgun has a very slow reload. Since it’s designed for close-range combat, it might be worth balancing this so it feels more rewarding to use. Pistols currently don’t feel very useful compared to other weapons. Ammo consumption is quite high. Even though enemies frequently drop ammo, it’s easy to run out in the middle of a fight, which can be a bit frustrating. On normal (and likely easy) difficulty, enemies feel quite tanky. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but combined with limited ammo and slow reloads, it can make the gunplay feel a bit too punishing. Actions like kicking or tactical sprinting with a knife consume stamina very quickly, which limits their usefulness. The flashlight drains very fast. Especially when playing solo, this often leaves you in the dark, relying heavily on the drone. There’s a lack of feedback when hitting zombies. It would be great to have clearer animations, sounds, or reactions to confirm damage or create more opportunities to stagger them. Possible bug: throwing a grenade near loot crates seems to destroy their contents when the crate breaks. The save system is a bit unclear. There doesn’t seem to be an option to overwrite an existing save, only to load or delete. A dedicated dodge button could greatly improve gameplay, especially in solo mode where slow reloads leave you more exposed. Zombies are very quiet until they are right next to you. Adding clearer audio cues or signals would help a lot with anticipating threats, especially when playing without teammates or with music turned off. Overall, I believe that with some adjustments in these areas, the experience could improve significantly, because the core of the game is already very promising. Keep up the great work!
