The verdict
A cheap, janky one-dev zombie community-builder with deep base building, NPC management and choice-driven story. Skip it if you need polish, a usable UI or fair combat.
Great for
Players who forgive ugly graphics for deep base building, NPC management and story choices
Main risk
Clunky UI, fixed camera and sprinting zombies make the first hours frustrating
