User reviews & Ratings

Upside: gameplay is awesome ! I really enjoy this one. Geuinely love the mix of turn based tactics and base mangement. Always wanted a zombie game like this Downside: Characters are very one-dimensional and boring, with generally a single personality trait. A bit disapointing for a sub-genre that generally focuses on character development and phsycological horror Very fun, though! One of those games that you should buy if it looks interesting to you, because what you see is pretty much adverstised.

Yes, but... Take it for what it is. A low budget game made by a small team. It's fun for a couple of hours, despite of plenty of quirks. I felt plenty of times that "I wish I have known this before I took this decision" and by "this" I mean a pretty important mechanic that you build your character around. One such example is that you can't go on quests without your main character, hence he can't stay behind and heal. Also ludonarrative dissonance (you know, when the gameplay is contradicting the narrative, just as no way of resurrecting a character that dies during a cutscene in FFVII in spite of pheonix down) is very frequent. Among other things, in this game I had to waste a very valuable medkit on a fully healed character because of narrative reasons.

An RPG that is fun enough to be worth your money if you get it on a sale. It has some UI that's unclear and the missions are not also sometimes unclear but fun enough that I enjoyed it nonetheless. I believe in enjoying a game so here's some quick tips of how to get around better if you decide to get this game (small spoilers on game-play and missions): First, the missions are all done via inviting the person to join your party and then going to the mission area normally. For example: - Jamal's mission to take him hunting in the woods is done by inviting him to your party and then going into the woods where you will hunt deer via small event popups. NOT putting him and the player on the job for hunting. Second, for Lydia's mission, note that you must take her to a SPECIFIC diner (which I believe resides at 10/20 on the Highway (Day) map. NOT the small diner events you see in between. (Hence why I said there is some missions which are unclear) Third, this is just a tip for enjoying the early game, Melee is very important to level to 3 ASAP as breakthrough is one of the few skills that reduce enemy armor, and Melee also don't cost ammo. Fourth, healing is doable in combat when you get to Medic level 3, and YOU CANNOT HEAL YOURSELF, so plan to have at least two people with medic 3 if you need to heal. Fifth, healing requires "medical supplies", engineering traps require "engineering supplies", and guns require "ammo", melee is the only thing that is always free. Plan your supplies accordingly. Overall a hearty recommend, I enjoyed the game, thank you for letting us date certain characters as well, really liked that. I wish there was a way to avoid a specific event as it seems less reasonable that the event pops up even when certain criteria are not fulfilled. Would love to have this event be more dynamic, like it triggers if you fail to have enough resources or make a specific choice instead of this person will always betray you, just let them die. Dead State (A game I also really like) also had this issue. There were certain characters you were better off not finding as they are guaranteed to lead to difficult events, and since this was unavoidable, the best thing to do is to never deal with those characters, which I felt decreases the immersion in the story in that game as well. If you liked this game you may like Dead State as well.

Not bad, not great. I'd give it a C. If you're bored and having nothing to do its a good time killer. Is a bit different each round when you die and start over and there's upgradeable stats and what not. Outside that its bare-bones and can get repetitive and is more about luck than anything else. Seems like a cell-phone game more than a PC game.

An okay rogue-lite turn-based combat game with strategy elements set in a zombie apocalypse. This game offers: Rogue-lite gameplay: if your main character dies, medals earned in the playthrough can improve the main character (although I find these upgrades not that helpful) for the next playthrough. Character skill management: You can recruit many survivors throughout the game and manage what roles you would like to assign to them Resource management: A few resources to manage to ensure the survival of the group. Some resources are linked to major missions. The Good: Turn-based combat: Melee weapons, guns, traps. There are many offensive and defensive skills to use in combat. Combined with the roles you assign to your survivors, each mission's outcome can vary. Forgetting to bring a character who provides first aid? You might need to cut your mission short and bring fewer resources back to camp. Bringing characters use the same ammo type? You might have to fist fight tough boss when your ammo runs out Different enemy types: Each area has its zombie types with unique attack moves. The in-between: The weapon model does not match the actual weapon during combat. You can craft and scavenge a few weapons for each ammo type. The weapon shown during combat is, however, fixed. So you can equip a Uzi, but the weapon shown in combat would be an AK. A bit grindy. Although you are not forced to reach the final stage of each mission (area) , you do have to survive 35+ days. This means you need to go through missions (areas) multiple times. Yes, you can skip days without scavenging, but good luck equipping your survivors or finding some important resources (i.e. tool, that is used for hunting) to allow you to continue hiding in the camp. The bad: Horrible UI. Finding items can be painful after you have gathered a lot of ammo, equipment, and craft material. Generic storyline and some stupid missions. The storyline summary is that you get knocked out in a zombie apocalypse and are rescued by someone. He brings you to a camp, and now you are in charge of that camp to rescue more ppl. You hear the government will rescue you, but something happens (not explained who caused it), and now you have to go for plan B to survive and maybe save the world. You can romance some female characters (two zombie-killing missions with each character) as if this is some fantasy daydream. Does this sound unique or interesting? They have to introduce "romance," don't they? Overall, Dead Age is an interesting game in turn-based combat but failed horribly in terms of storyline. If you are a turn-based combat fan, give this game a try. If you want to be immersed in a zombie apocalypse world, you should look elsewhere (maybe The Last Stand: Aftermath) because Dead Age's setting is too boring.
