Genuinely awful game, I received it as part of a cheap zombie themed bundle years ago and finally decided to play it.... Gameplay loop is boring and repetitive, shoot zombies, run away, shoot again, run away.... Buy/upgrade weapons and then repeat. I only played 4.4 hours as I was determined to actually finish it once... but some of the levels were so frustrating! If I ever play it again it might be in local co-op...

When I first reviewed this game a year ago with a negative rating, I had not beaten it. Now that I have beaten it, I would like to still give it a negative rating but thoroughly explain why. First off, the price tag is wrong. This game should be in the $5 bin. I don't say that because the lack of story (you don't play a game like this for story), or for the graphics (I don't mind the old look, I rather like it.)....

A most marvelous mixture of BLAND, TERRIBLE, and POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. The game is a sorry excuse for an isometric twin-stick shooter: the controls are sluggish, the guns offer no gratification, movement is awkward and it's SUPER EXCITING to trundle through levels such as TOWN, HARBOR, and FACTORY that are right out of a Blender tutorial. The graphics are the absolute bare minimum: every single enemy is dark grey,...

VERDICT: Dead Horde is a barely average apocalypse themed twin-stick shooter with limited gameplay and dated graphics. Most gamers will find gameplay too repetitve and frustrating. Graphics are dull and the sounds basic. It is remaniscent of 80s style video games. The game relies on fast moving zombies/ mutants, ambushes and a sprinkling of bosses with unique abilities to create the overall challenge. Bad...

Right now. 5/10 Fun, cool, and has a challenge. But some stuff makes no sense. All zombies go faster than your character and take tons of bullets to kill. The fat zombies can some reason move 3x the speed of anything in the game and takes like a quarter of your health out if it touchs you. Plus I noticed pushing dive or shoot, it takes some time to respond.

This game is one of those rare instances where you can tell the developer didn't quite understand(or care) about the engine. You don't have to play for more than five minutes to see that the physics of this game were probably moddled from a racing game of some kind. All characters "drift" instead of making proper turns, enabling you to get some cheeky circle moves in, completely defeating the AI, which seems to be...

As a zombie fan craving for zombie games I would say Dead Horde is a huge disappointment. Not quite the Dead Nation that I was expecting! Maybe I was expecting too much... maybe not since Dead Nation is also an indie game... Aside from the poor graphics and art style, my main concern with the game is the gameplay itself. The shooting kinda feels tedious as the weapons sound bland and have a low rate of fire. Also,...

This is actually the worst game i have ever played. I am not being harsh or anything but seriously everything about is just terrible. The gameplay, physics, lighting , enviroment and the menu all of them are just really bad. All I can guess is that this was the first game of the developer so it must be some kind of an experiment.

The game is OK but is repetitive. Go forward, if zombies appear keep shooting going backwards so they get in line and kill them all in the same spot, then continue move forward. You'll get bored quickly.

35% I'm going to be honest with you. I sat down to write this review for Dead Horde the top down, run and gun shooter from DNS development, but I had a tough timeplaying this game for the 18 hours I put in to get 100% completion. Iit's not that the game has complex themes of survival that are hard to sum up or anything like that, it's just that it's such a boring paint by the numbers experience that I often had...
