Here's The Thing:
You first assume the position of David and are about to go to town on somebody, but then poof- it was just a dream… or was it now? You then step into the shoes of David, trying to get by in post-apocalyptic a.k.a. “the gates of hell having been opened” times. The apartment you reside in has begun to slowly crumble, and there’s word of survivors somewhere out there. Things won’t be easy…!



If you thought it’d be anything at all like its forebearer Bloodwash, you’d be right, for like a hot minute; then positively livid yet receptive for it takes the very limited gun action and ramps it up to “survival horror” level. The developers themselves best described it as Resident Evil only it's in first person…! You probably have certain preconceptions in mind already, but let me make it absolutely clear. There are 2 aspects that make it stand out in a sea of zombies, with the first and foremost being that only headshots can put down a zombie.

So, if your aim is positively atrocious- you’re better off fleeing (and it *IS* possible for almost every enemy). And the second thing? The mind-numbing notion of you only being in either “shoot to kill” or “hands all grabby to interact” mode at the press of a button, BUT never both took me ages to be trained. Equating to moments of pure walking nightmares inching closer as my brain disconnects with my body thinking “why is my gun not firing” and I left-click the hell out of my mouse only to realize I have no weapon in hand. If not for the defensive knives, the difference between a narrow escape and instant death (which I’d forgotten I stowed away every time), activating just before I was ready to sell my soul to the devil; I would’ve long turned into one of those shambling corpses.

The first descent into hell should, on average, last 3 hours but could well be extended to 4 or 5 without even breaking a sweat! There are also two unlockable extras that bring to the table even more hours; one of which is a funnier side-story involving a cheeky killer, and the other a COD Zombies mode “find your way out” as waves come and get ya. You won’t be let down, if anything, you’ll just be pissy on top of being trigger-happy with curses… among other things~


Its visuals have you feeling like a kid in a candy store, only it doubles as the horror section of a video store, AND comes off also as a tilt-a-whirl all while you’re subjected to a world in ruins! And it is most breathtaking- like, I've never wanted desolation and biblical disaster to happen THIS badly…! The bleeding of maddening red, the vomit of neon every chance it gets, and end-of-the-world fog wispily swirling the surroundings. The locations were a buffet of inspiration, one where you can get your geek on!

From what could feasibly have been a sister building to Silent Hill 2’s Wood Side apartment whereby each occupant harbored dark recesses, to the labyrinthine streets of Spain’s colorful quarters, or even crossing over to Resident Evil 4’s stranded, rural, and watchful realm. Like, I wish I were exaggerating, but there must have been well over 66+ iteration of zombies including ones that crab walk, head hanging backwards, freakishly tall, brain for a head and the list goes on. Isn’t that an “unnecessarily” impressive and realistic detail!?

The sound design could be construed as irritating and poorly designed, when it just might as well be classified as “haunted” due to its intentionally disembodied and drawn-out hisses, groans, whispers, and what have you! That and the bloody doors creaking as if you were standing next to them, prompting you to obsessively question whether it was because you just walked past or an enemy is creeping after you! Without a doubt turned me around for more than a dozen instances… Musically, not only was it equally loud and crippling, it also cheered you on for good measure, and your guns are accompanying instruments of chaos~

Story-wise it’s your stereotypical zombie sitch but it’s so fast-paced and two-parter movie length that I just went along for the ride. Nevertheless, I’m convinced of 3 things; one, it foretold the plot to Evil Dead Rise and that’s just scurry af! Two, its humor & mood were loosely based off of a nefarious conjoining of Cemetery Man (1994), Evil Dead (1981), Resident Evil Apocalypse-Extinction (you heard me, the live-action ones), Shaun of The Dead, and Dawn of The Dead (2004).

With the latter two especially feeding into the dynamic of the archetypal survivors that were for the most part decently acted and “in-character”. Captain was the star of the show for me, but they each had their staying one-liners and moments. I know what you’re thinking- “what a rip-off” right? Well, not at all, it borrowed maybe 5% from each movie at the very least. It manages to not just do those influences justice, serving them throwbacks good and all; came out on top of them too! It is its own form of strange and sick, it’s one-of-a-kind~


Was it scary? Like, if it wasn’t apparent by now, A-DUH! You know the Scout motto of “be prepared”? Live it, nurture it, and for God’s sake… don’t leave it behind! This game will either get the jump on you in a myriad of ways, or have something creep up on you when you least suspect it. Sometimes I wasn’t sure if I should be scared or laughing, because of its true-enough brand of humor. Furthermore, I was genuinely surprised and had my jaw dropped a good three times so that should be an apt indicator of what this shi* does to ya~



At the risk of sounding like a child, I will say the aiming weirded me out in that hip-firing was more accurate than aiming down sights? Moreover, upon firing, the guns (which are illogically differentiated) have too much recoil that I entered a different dimension for a split second. Similarly, I was put off by there not being a “toggle to aim”. The push-to-open doors was a hazard in itself where you have to take a step back sometimes and let them breathe! The worst part? You could skimp and save resources all you want only to have them be seized from under your noses~


x Controls/button guide display wrongly when on keyboard? Defaulting to “… to aim” OR “interaction” being listed for every function.
x Possible for z-words to block doors and softlock your progress. Since there are no saves… replay level!
x (actually you just have to go far away to have the Zs revert back to their starting position; learned that the tough love way.
x Enemies trapped in walls.


~ Still no manual saves or checkpoints!
~ Unskippable cutscenes!
~ Typos.

Last Words?
Breathes semi-new life in zombie survival horrors while its rare combat hiccups simply get buried! Dark black humor, disabling intensity, ragtag group can’t help but love, and better as time passes~
