My review of Project Zomboid: The Pre-Alpha Zombie Uprising |
|

|
Let me start by explaining why I'm writing this and what I'm |
|
writing about. |
|
I'm currently installing SR:TT, so I thought I might as well do |
|
something first. |
|
Project Zomboid is a Java-based game (like Minecraft) that uses |
|
the isometric viewpoint engine (e.g. Sims 1). It combines |
|
crafting, needs, wants, weapons with free-roam Zombies. |
|
Your character requires needs such as hunger, sleep and |
|
warmth/shelter. But it also has quite a realistic damage system. |
|
Like, you get raped by a horde of zombies in your bathroom, you |
|
manage to escape but you're bleeding from your right shin and |
|
left arm. You need to convert a shirt into bandages and you need |
|
painkillers. That's what it's like. |
|
Did I mention it was free roam? |
|
At the moment, it's in pre-alpha. So it's not Alpha, it's not |
|
Beta, but it's before them. This means that- although there are |
|
hardly any- it's not without bugs and it's not optimized for |
|
multi-core processors (yet) |
|
However, onto my opinion. |
|
I think it's a brilliant mini-game at the moment. It's an |
|
excellent game to play while you're waiting for a game to |
|
install, waiting for something to finish downloading, or you're |
|
just not in the mood for SR:TT or any other game. |
|
Future updates include interactive NPCs, multi-core |
|
optimization, map cells (e.g. you go to the edge of one map and |
|
it loads another, like Minecraft) and saving (yes, the game |
|
doesn't have saving at the moment) |

It looks like it could be fun, I'll have to give it a try soon |
|
or later! |
