Night of the Dead Reviews

Ok.. only 5 hrs in but I am a survival game enthusiast and have played them all. If you like 7 Days to Die, you will love this game 100%. Instead of a horde every 7 days its every night. There is a sh** ton of crafting recipes from building, crafting benches, weapons, tools, decoraions, ext.. THE ONLY THING is that I heard the devs are done updating this game which is heartbreaking and really made me not want to even buy the game. DEVS PLEASE ALLOW MODDING! This is will save this game! *UPDATE @ 80+hours* EVERYONE GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND EMAIL THEM A SUGGESTION TO ALLOW MODDING!!!!! MAKE THIS GAME GREATER!!!!

This game is mixed on review, but overall plays well. A bit heavy on the crafting, but a lot of variety of things to craft. LOTS of errands, and if you do buy it, I'd recommend getting the WeMod cheat and simply use the F5 cheat of superspeed, otherwise you may be walking far more than you would like. There are other cheats on it, but that would take a lot of the fun out. If the game gave faster ways of travel, without the vehicles that run out of gas and break down too often, I'd stay away from cheats altogether. Anyway, the game does have some good fights, and if you prepare well for the nightly waves (use traps a lot), it's pretty good.

I bought this game when it first arrived. played it for a few hours an decided to wait til it progressed. And, progressed it did! I like the the fact that you have to strategize your traps and build accordingly. Great job in it's progression.

Fun game, what more can I say. Interesting story. Wish for better fast travel, maybe a mod?

Night of the Dead is a beautiful game that falls short on additional content and in need of a polish. However, with the admin panel, mods and base building there is plenty to do in this game. There is a rogue lite skill tree point system with a leveling mechanic. The plot of the campaign is kind of dry and not very immersive. It's fun to see what kind of kill boxes and crazy lavish base ideas you can come up with as the game play map is massive with different ecosystems and terrain so you can essentially setup shop wherever. Keep in mind that each region has different levels of difficulty but the game leaves you to your own devices. If you like building bases, want a change of pace from 7 Days to Die, being stuck on an island full of zombies similar to Dead Island this is the game for you! Zombies will continuously assault your masterpiece of a base for 2 hours into the new day night after night and you get the opportunity to explore and do missions during the day time. I think this personally is a hidden gem that needs some improvements, but is still a very fulfilling game for any zombie genre enthusiasts.

game wouldnt suck if the devs werent lazy. every other game in existence seems to work fine on a gamepad why doesnt this one?

Is this some kind of April Fools' joke?? This is version 1.0... This isn’t even version 0.0.0.0.2... Everything is so messed up, the controls, the movement—everything is bad... This isn't even worth 3 euros... Avoid it in a wide circle. Watching out the window is more fun.

Remember this, from day 1 forward zombies from the night horde gets stronger almost forever unless you have months of in game time kinda.. And btw, there is no escape scene/reward. They removed escape the island part. So unless you played that earlier w you can't get it anymore. Okay so You like endless amount of different bugs on a game devs claim is completed? you like this game especially the useless bad shitty crappy coded followers... + amount of grind... check this pic it explains a lot.. https://scontent.fbma5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/480560247_1362571751404435_4634655305980444807_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=aa7b47&_nc_ohc=yyB0Nk6IlxAQ7kNvgH6q8-Y&_nc_oc=AdgTDZLO5jBBzvvGiXi2Q2NSk9MFtqD5CTjDf_QFMVl6dRrFJY0jlf7HP4028mvRRYI&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fbma5-1.fna&_nc_gid=Am_vigj5bigu8LJGBc7qDsg&oh=00_AYDgNrB1qXdA4gx_20Y1Gx_85nFpAOqAudDDaTUkltpKBQ&oe=67BF8620 comment=But it does run!... My comment... Well yes but the follower code is a joke i mean dungeon to the 1 boss the follower is going to stand and run INTO EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TRAP in there THERE IS.... WHAT IS THE FOLLOWER A IQ FREE MEME ADDED TO THE GAME?.. NO WAIT A MEME IS FUN THAT SHIT IS JUST MAKING MY EYES CRY OUT FOR MERCY... THE BOT LITTERALY IS SUICIDING ON STANDING ON SPIKES COMING UP FROM GROUND ETC YOU HELP IT UP AND IT STANDS STILL AND TAKE THE SHIT AGAIN AND AGAIN. I AM TRYING TO LIKE THE GAME I HONESTLY AM... BUT THE DEVS ARE MAKING IT PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE IN TERMS OF A GAME... I LIKE THE STORY YES, I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF THE GAME YES. BUT THE GAME AS IT IS? NO. I mean sure i haven't seen the bugs so far since last update with cars and motorcycle's dissapearing into air after a save etc... But considering the path the zombie horde of mobs during the night take... I do feel like they are as retarded as zombies are supposed to be... like if you build over water past a bridge, some of the mobs are going to run down and stand looking up instead of going through the maze... but at the same time there is no consistent way of gameplay against the zombies. You blow up or start a car or something left or right quite a bit of a distance from you and sometimes the mobs run toward the sound, while other times they ignore the sound and run up to you... Its like the zombies behaviour is jumping between the TV shows like Z Nation running over edge following sound.. and sometimes its like acting as the walking dead and sometimes a mix of z nation and walking dead... no consistency really, and this is just the skeleton of problems i have with the game. For an example, the grind is really 90'S/80'S game level of grind, even with maxed out shit on getting resources if you have wave on nighttime on. even on easiest gameplay, if you aren't lucky with drops it will still take you in game several hours to reach and kill the 1 boss. And you still need to grind out enough copper etc to build traps etc to survive the night. unless you remove wave, but then you are missing out on a lot of research paper. and it means it will take you most likely longer to learn stuff you need to advance the story, and get strong enough to kill bosses etc. Ofcourse on easiest mode possible, if you are a bit lucky on the drops. You can easily kill the 2 boss on 2 or 3rd in game day. 3rd boss you can probably take out on 5th in game day as latest if you got tiny bit of luck and patience. Its only because you need a mode of transportation and getting down to a mine that it takes you that long. because you need to travel down mine and need a special headwear to, be able to breath without loosing health down there. from 1-2 city if you farm enough research papers, and like kill 2-3 students untill you face 2 boss, you can easily take him on like in game day 2 then if you got a good enough gun weapon. boss 3 is a tiny bit more tricky but essentially if you play smart, have a bit of luck in drops and find a few students to kill that drops a special book resource... you could get about 1 boss dead per 1-2 days in game days. meaning game can be finished in solo mode easiest within 10 days of in game days. or 3-4 days of playing. And while i know most people want the Legend title, play on hardcore mode etc... the amount of grind for resources, to build a base if you are alone is insane. And this is if you play solo, if you got a friend play normal is basically playing on easiest mode. if you are 3 or 4 its even easier. if you are like 6 people, its basically a stomp on normal play. because the solo grind would be nearly entirely removed here. you can swap weapons and gears if needed and everyone opens up the bosses and then swap back. if you are 6 people then finishing the story on normal mode before day 10 in game id say very easily done. Look up game Life is feudal. or the old final fantasy vii game. If you are wanting to collect all materias, all hidden shits, etc.. Congrats, we are talking about that kind of level of grind in terms of resources etc if you are alone. Oh and even more on research paper etc if you die on legend mode or hardcore or anything remotely close. Sure it might not take as long as a near year to play compared to ff7 collect everything etc but on legend mode if you die, all your skills is pretty much reset.. So if building new traps is what you want, you need to re-unlock traps again. but the game is completed devs says? so that means no more Balacing, bug patches, and also they won't open up workshop. So no fanon content, the ending is the ending. its only canon and its finished its perfect, its complete... bullshit

If you like to play with your friend... you won't like this game. Every quest and craft must be done by each player and it's REALLY ANNOYING. Won't play again unless they change that.

I really love the game, I can recommend it easily but I've noticed there hasn't been any updates from the devs in a while. Jackto, if you guys stop work on it, will you please add modding support of some kind first? I'm sure people could add some cool stuff to help keep it fun for a long time.
