Gameplay
In this game, players need to kill the living dead when they are coming towards you. Players can use weapons such as guns to kill them. You have a bar at the top of the game that tells you the time, morale, day, and barricades. Time is you resource. Spend it on search parties and upgrades. Win more time by killing zombies. Morale affects the performance of the survivors in your groups. You can increase morale by finding supplies, survivors, and weapons. Day shows the number of days since the accident. Were expected to hold it for at least 40 days. Barricades show the state of improvised defense against the undead. The more zombies that reach the house, the more repairs will be needed. You can search the town for weapons, resources and survivors. To do that you assign a search party. It will be sent out when you start the round and are expected to return at the end of the day. It takes time to search a location. Some locations will be unavailable until you win more time. When you search all locations in the area, the next area will open up.

Graphics
Graphics in this game arent very impressive. They dont amaze me. The bar is nice and clear and you can see it. There is also a rage meter that is on the screen it is very important. Killing zombies with headshots will fill your rage meter. Once full, you can activate rage mode. Rage mode grants you the ability to instakill zombies for a limited amount of time. You can see the blood of the zombies when you kill them. They just fall to the ground instantly. The time of the day changes each new level. Some days it will be during the day or sometimes at night. One time it was so dark I couldnt see a thing. What frustrates me is when a zombie gets close to your house he disappears in it so you cant see it anymore. The zombies always come from the distance in the trees. And theres a junk car on the left side of the screen sitting there. Every level shows a bunch of dead zombies in the frot yard with blood splattered everywhere. The in game messages are great in this game and can be seen. In fact, they cant be missed. After every level, a message pops us telling you which and how many survivors were found. It also tells you what weapon and how many were found. Lastly, it also tells you the casualties of your group and who got hurt.

Controls
Controls are somewhat difficult. The only easy actions you have to do are aim and right click the mouse button. For guns you just have to continuously click; however, for longbows you need to hold the button down and let go when you are ready. The Q key is to swap weapons. R is for reloading. F is to switch firing mode. 1, 2, 3 numbers are to dentate remote bombs. M is to mute the game, O is to switch quality of the game, and P is to pause the game. The player may need to click the mouse multiple times to kill the zombie and the zombies can be different sizes or people each time. Each zombie can take one or two shots to kill and bring down. Controls are great and it is just one simple button to do, it is great and is not confusing. You can click an available location to set it as the next target for the search party. These controls are very basic and simple. And you also can start rage mode when the meter is full by pressing the space bar. I feel that anyone can play this game with these easy controls and they would be able to navigate without any trouble. I think they should give us more weapons to kill the zombies or maybe even explosives to blow them up. Improvements can be made to improve it and make it more exciting.
