L.S.S II Reviews

Even for the current discount of $0.89 it isn't worth that. You can buy a vastly better and more-polished zombie horde indie game for extremely cheap, such as CYBERHUNK, Ultimate Zombie Defense 1 & 2, Zedfest, Zombie Estate 2, Nation Red, or the upcoming Imperium. I'm not even sure where to start with this game's issues, so here's just a few short sentences of various problems the game has: There's only one slightly interesting map (Church) while the other 3 are extremely forgettable and made up of generic square corridors and rooms. None of the guns feel very good, they sound weak, and have pretty terrible animations (the G13 straight up doesn't even have a reload animation..). It's a very buggy game, not even rebinding keys works properly (also the game doesn't recognize side mouse buttons). Most things your teammate does aren't shown properly on your end, like a lot of weapons are missing world models so you'll see your friend using a pump shotgun when firing a Junkgun (and you can't see the bricks fired from that unless you're the one using it), or a pistol when holding the "Smite" bible, or when meleeing they'll just glitch out and have no animation. I also loved how every time a bullet hits a metal surface it's excruciatingly loud. Everyone has the same generic bald man model (Why make such a boring character if you're gonna have every player use it? Just do faceless grunts or something). Lastly, the balancing is really not good. There's no reason to even use any of the guns because the zombies move very fast at high waves and hit you without even finishing their attack animation (they also just phase right through barricades once broken), so you're better off just buying the axe and spamming it. It's a one-hit kill to wave 30. Meanwhile the two Tier 5 guns that the game has (AA-12 and Junkgun) aren't remotely as good. This feels like a game that should still be in Early Access, yet it's not and the last update was February 20th, 2023, so I don't think you're going to see any of these issues ever fixed.
