Awesome game! The premise is quite simple but the longer you play the more you see how complex the game is. It´s a lot fun to minmax everything just for something to go wrong and forcing you to adapt.

Really awesome game!

The two game type are essentially based on the same principle, but through the introduction of time pressure and different levels of AI difficulty, create two very different gaming experiences. Conquest has quite the speed-run feeling to it, while endless mode forces you to take a much more cautious and thought out approach to the game. I started out playing only conquest since the AI is much more forgiving and the different zones teach you the layout of the large map. After several rounds I tried my hands on the endless mode and found out that here lies the real meat of the game. The different zombie classes with their unique skills offer many different approaches to the game; some using brute force to gain a critical zombie mass, others using stealth to gain that mass before gaining too much attention from the citizens. This gives the game a high level of replayability. The AI in this mode is much more punishing, forcing you to carefully manage your skill cooldowns, plan your route through the city and make you think which encounter with the police/military to take and which ones to avoid, since one bad encounter could potentially ruin your entire run (especially with the leaderboard in mind).

With all that said, I´d still hope a bit more content could be introduced to the game, especially concerning the late game. In the early game, stopping citizens from calling the police is a really fun mechanic, but as the game goes on loses importance. Similar events throughout the game would be really fun. For example the military setting up a gattling gun that would decimate your horde if not destroyed before being ready. Or maybe once the military intervenes (or your horde reaches a certain size), the citizens will start to work on a cure; and you have a certain time limit to find a certain building in the city and destroy it before the time runs out. Just a thought.
