Even though this is to my knowledge a mobile port made into a PC release it actually ends up being decently fun. Sure the voice acting is not the best and story leaves something to be desired but there's an odd arcadey fun to getting headshots and taking on zombies, collecting credits to buy different weapons. There's not a mind blowing or super in depth experience here but if you want to enjoy a sci fi b movie plot and kill a bunch of different undeads using some different weapons and powers you can easily get 5-10 hours of fun here, would recommend on sale or even at the normal price.

this game actually is very playable and the animations of the heads and limbs exploding is really good to pull off, well worth a go if you're bored but don't expect anything amazing 8/10

Not a bad little game. Picked it up for .99 cents and I'll say that it is generously priced at 5 bucks. Either way, I'll credit the devs for pushing out something that has more features than the modern game today, I'll be sure to pick up Dead Effect 2 once I'm done with this one.
