This game is a blast to play. I really love arcade rail shooters. At first, I thought it was just typing, but found out later it also has the original game mode in it. So I immediately bought it. However, the only down sides as for now, is the support for newer computers. I am on windows 11 and this took a little of figuring out but the fix was easy once I found it. thanks to this guide. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2278525611 The only problems are sometimes sound not playing in certain events, like when you are taking down the rage mutants, getting slow mode but by the normal time the dialogue stops. The dialogue just ends while in slow mode. Waiting times for the game to load. (not sure if this is normal for this version of the game. or my higher end computer) Despite all that, the rest of the game works pretty fine and is a great experience. Only one down sides as I can see are... No typing mode for the directors cut version of the levels and no local co-op. Now for the more positives. This was by far the funniest installment in the House Of The Dead series, great funny lines to quote, good soundtrack, weapons to mess around with and buy, some bonus content to unlock and even a comic to read, if you can find all the pages that is. (or look it up online, idk.) If you want to play a House Of The Dead game on Steam. Get this one, fuck the remake.

This game is great, I don't care what criticisms you have of it, my opinion is better than yours and I say this game is great and also I can probably bench more than you (I only do bodyweight workouts).

This is seriously some stupid fun. You quite literally type words to kill zombies, err, mutants as they run at you from every angle in an on rails experience. Each level takes about 15-20 minutes so you can time things out accordingly if you only have a short time to play something. The best part of the game though is the cheesy B horror movie story that is more comedy than horror. So many stupid scenes throughout the cutscenes that had me laughing so hard. It's short, it's sweet, it's worth your time.

The Typing of The Dead: Overkill is a collection of two eccentric games with the same motive, to kill zombies. With 9 levels and an amusing story to follow, I was instantly hooked to this game. In Typing of The Dead, you type words and sentences to kill zombies. Some words are ridiculous though. There are custom dictionaries as well. Although the DLCs add variety to what you are typing, they aren't really needed as I felt some of the words are TOO MUCH! In House of The Dead, you shoot with a variety of weapons. I also liked that they added challenges to the Director Cut levels even though some felt ridiculous but rewarding. All in all I have played all the levels several times over and do not regret it. Its hard to find an arcade style game like this. It can feel clunky and voice lines do stop working at times, though I got pretty used to it and enjoyed the positive aspects of the game. Recommended if you like typing games or arcade style games!

Mario Teaches Typing but if it was Time Crisis and it was directed by Tarantino. 10/10 (Also, game wouldn't launch for me on Windows 11 until I renamed HOTD_NG --> HOTD_NGx86)
