One of the best games I played in years of my life, Great Gameplay, Creative Defenses, Multiple Strategies to choose from, Updates once in awhile, Responsive Dev(s), unlike others that push the community aside, and a great community even though it is small, it's just perfect. Hopefully it gets more praise/notice than this. Totally worth my 1 dollar. 10/10

PRO: Lot's of zombie killing CON: Lots of lag, specially bigger map. (TIP: use bridge map) Limited weapon benefits (lots of choices but they all suck) No way to check all the weapons description (AFAIK)/ also no "testing mode" to try out the guns to see their Damage. Tips: F to lock a gun so you dont pick up garbage guns T to chat Set your main menu to automatic perk and choose which ones Grab that damn flamethrower and lock it ASAP! Grab that AK47, it will eat every boss like pancakes. AUTOGUNS ARE TRASH. buy the manual sentry instead, it will reload ammo and it kills bosses like AK47 Build metal blockade that slows down enemies not trash wires and fences.

This game is a top down, twin stick, zombie horde game. Has different game modes like base defense and survival (stay alive for as long as possible type of survival - just to be clear), XP from kills to buy perks with during the game, bosses, item drops, character classes, a character loadout screen with accessory options so you can get a more unique look when playing with someone using the same class, online, local co-op, splitscreen/sharedscreen, and the number of maps justify the base price. If you like top down twin sticks and zombies then this game will make you feel right at home. I only have 1.5 hours as of writing this review but those hours will rise to around 30 for me. I have played enough of these types of games to know. I don't think everyone will get 30 hours out of this game but I really like these types of games so I will. This game only has one person behind it, SnowBrigade (DiezelPower), but don't let that scare you. The amount of work he puts in is outstanding. I don't think he even gets a chance to play his own game much because he is too busy responding to feedback and improving the game for the current customers. In 13 months he has released 25 updates (26th on the way now). That is a rate of 2 per month, by himself. He is the reason you should pick up this game, even if you don't like top down twin sticks, because his level of support is what we want from all developers. Especially the ones with 100 person teams and billions of dollars. I could sit here and link numerous threads where this developer has added new content and features simply because someone asked. That's it. He don't take long to add these things either as you can see by how frequently he updates. I just bought this game during the Halloween sale for $2. I had a issue with the controller scheme and it was making it hard for me to play. Other people didn't care or it didn't effect them because it seems I am the only person who brought this up. The developer didn't care that I bought it during the Halloween sale for $2 and he didn't care the game has been released, without anyone having my issue, for over a year. He already started working on a second control scheme to add in an update because it makes the game more enjoyable for me (and possibly future customers like me who also may have had a hard time). This is just my own example. Someone else also suggested a repair tool be added into the game recently to give more repair options. He says: "I'm open to add such a feature if we can come up with a good working idea. Does anyone have any thoughts?" And zoom, off he goes to start the update after a working idea is found. He does this type of stuff all the time for many players and he asks for nothing in return. He don't take all this feedback and put it in the vault to later release as a DLC to sell you and he didn't for his previous title, Nation Red, either. It makes me want him to give him more money. I will buy a second copy, at full price, and gift it to a friend to show my appreciation for both the developer and my friend :D. EDIT: Update released, literally, minutes after I posted this review. See what I mean by fast updates? Update Nov 22, 2017: Nominated Versus Squad for the “Labor of Love” Award.

Wow. Okay, I totally didn't expect this after transitioning from Nation Red! This game is rather a sequel, however ;) It's a whole lot of fun to me. I think it's worth the money while on sale. Very much worth the upgrade.

I'm digging this game. The game play is very simple. You're tasked with defending your camp from waves of zombies. You can play either alone or with up to 4 people. I've only played single player. You last as long as you can before you either die or a zombie breaches the gate to your camp. At the start of the game you have a set amount of coins that you can spend on your initial defense. You get walls, sentries, damaging barriers like razor wire, a few exploding items like a landmine or a exploding gas canister. Once you get it set up the way you think will work best you start the round and the zombies start coming. When you kill zombies you get XP that can be spent on perks that give you boosts. The zombies also drop power ups and weapons and coins. Once you clear a wave you get another build phase and you can spend whatever coins you had left or gathered during the wave to add to your defense. The replayability comes from global high score leaderboards and persistent player progression in the form of ranks. Each rank up gives you a permanent perk point that you can spend on a perk that will always be active when you start a game. There are 8 ranks. At 5 hours of gameplay I'm currently rank 4. Beyond ranks there are also multiple classes to choose from and RPG style character attributes. For example you can take a few points from speed and put them health or damage. And the reason I recommend the game is that when I first started getting to wave 5 was a big deal, then it was wave 10 and now I can get to wave 15 fairly regularly. But the guys on top of the leaderboard are doing like wave 50 or something so I know I've got lots of room to improve and new defensive ideas to try out. And when you're on a roll and starting to approach your current high score and you're nearly being overrun by zombies, things get intense. When that perfectly timed med kit hits you can help but think "Oh thank god!". Or when a fire bomb powerup drops and you can use it to blast away the zombies that are beating your last remaining sentry. if you like top down wave shooters you'll get your money's worth.
