It’s nearly the same like the game „Primal Fears“. So everyone who loved the Game Primal Fears should buy Dead Horde too. You have other maps but the weapons and upgrates are the same.

For all those who don’t know „Dead Horde“ or „Primal Fears“:

Both games are Horror-Action-Shootergames. The view is third person like but with a little bit practise also first person shooter players will love it. You can play those games alone or with a coop-mate. If you have the possibility to use teamspeak, skype or steam-voicechat together it’s really fun (yeah sadly there is no voice communication in the game).

You can choose your weapon and with making money (from killing monsters or collecting) you can buy new weapons or you upgrate the once you have.

The enemies have different healthpoints and make different demage. You also never know how many enemies will spawn in the next moment. So you better take care of your own health and of course if you play coop also of your teammate!

Good luck and have fun!

A most marvelous mixture of BLAND, TERRIBLE, and POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The game is a sorry excuse for an isometric twin-stick shooter: the controls are sluggish, the guns offer no gratification, movement is awkward and it's SUPER EXCITING to trundle through levels such as TOWN, HARBOR, and FACTORY that are right out of a Blender tutorial.

The graphics are the absolute bare minimum: every single enemy is dark grey, the game takes place at night and there's barely any light. Also, trees cover about half of the screen whenever you run into one.

Among the sea of regular zombie gray, you'll occasionally run into big fast gray, barfing fat gray and leaping gray. That's it.

And it's so well optimized, you'll find yourself enjoying the 4-5 frame animations in glorious 10-30 frames-per-second.

tl;dr: You've been warned - this game is a heap of dried up dung.

Do I like this game? Yes. Would I pay $9.99 for it? No. But is it worth it on a Steam sale for $1 or $2? Hell yea! I grew up with shooters like this from Ikari Warriors, to Total Carnage and Smash TV, to console games like Reloaded so I know how games like this are supposed to be.

What I did I like about the game? I found the simplistic nature of the game very straightforward and basically a lot of fun. It doesn't really boast anything more than it promises other than casual Zombie shooting. I found it to actually be very similar in nature to games like Yet Another Zombie Defense. It's fun, with progressing difficulty and power ups. It's mindless fun entertainment that satisfies the need to kill zombies!!!

What I didn't like about the game? The horde music is repetitive and annoying at times so I just turned it down so it was barely audible so I could still hear when a large swam was attacking. There wasn't a lot of variety of zombie types and why must every game after L4D have a fat zombie that vomits?? The game while visually simplistic seems to give low to mid end video cards a hard time. I found that my ultrabook and XPS gaming laptop could barely play at medium/low settings while those same systems can play L4D2, CSGO and other graphically superior games without issue. I even found a bit of stutter on a 4GHz i7 with a EVGA 680SC that plays BF4, WatchDogs, and Crysis 3 on ULTRA high settings with no effort. The zombies are so fast that sometimes a large horde can overrun you even if you are running away and dive/rolling to get further distance.

It's a good game but to be a great game these glaring issues need to be resolved.

Here it goes. I spent enough time in the game (Roughly 30 minutes) to make a decent review. The game is not that bad, but it's repetitive. There's a clear lack of content in the game which developpers could've worked on more, by that i mean there is only two type of ennemies for example (Regular mutants and Mutant Dogs) even though some could say some mutants get tougher with time. I managed to complete te first level on the normal and easy difficulty, there is indeed an easily perciptible difference between the two difficulties, i would never picture myself playing the game on the ''Insane'' diffuclty as i'm already haveing loads of difficulties on both normal and easy difficulty. Core gameplay is far from innovative, top-down repetitive shooting with questionnable gun animations. I must admit i enjoy shooting mutant hordes with my M16, it is really enjoyable, but you must do this ALL the time. There goes the levels: Kill, Kill, Kill a horde, Kill mutants in vehicule, press a switch and wait for horde, kill horde, finish level. Indeed there is vehicules but the poor controls makes them less enjoyable than you'd think and the game also suffers of a low variety of vehicules. I took a look at the achievements to realise there isn't that much levels, and some managed to easily finish the game under 50 minutes which is a really poor time for a 9.99$ game. In all honesty it is the kind of game i would enjoy buying at 1.99$ and playing on my tablet or my cellphone. Other than the joy of shooting hordes with your M16, the game is, let's be honest, bad. It could've been more developped content-wise but also gameplay-wise. I had luck to get a two pack for me and my friend at 2.24$ Please don't waste a precious 10$ on this game.

This is a perfect casual experience. If you are looking for big gameplay and engaging story, you might pass on this one. If however looking to waste a little time periodically and not really have to think, this is perfect. I love trying to reach high scores and collect achievements in little games like this. I would buy again.
