Death Slayer V Reviews

The amount of fun I've had in this game is more than I expected. The melee is fun with the dismembering of the arms that get in the way to the head. One gripe I have with is the lack of staggering or flinching for both zombies and for the player. Damage from zombies seems to be a slow drain rather than an actual chunk and with the lack of response from the character it makes it difficult to know if you are being damaged. I love the models for the zombies and the looks of the interior maps. however the streets for the initial area I find to be slightly bland in comparison, although one of the only houses that you can get into the back yard of does have a pool, so I'll let it slide. I enjoy the concept of using the corpses of zombies to heal and that you slowly take damage over time to keep you in the fight, however sometimes it's just cruel that I can only carry one dose at a time after killing numerous zombies in my wake. When I first started, I felt that the guns available were horrible and a waste of a slot, such as the revolver and the double barrel shotgun, but venturing away from the objective and searching side streets not only allowed me to find increasingly better weapons, but slowly piece together the story being told via radio transmissions of dead operatives. While it isn't master-class writing, it's a nice detail that wouldn't have had to be included until later. The main issues I had involved some of the instructions to progress further. The introduction involves you clearing your house of zombies, however even after killing all of them, the instructions to kill all zombies inside the home doesn't go away and the only way to progress is to go back to your bedroom for a sleep, which made me laugh but it's unprompted. Aiming with guns uses the same sensitivity as your hip-fire and some weapons have (in my opinion) a horrible iron sight, being the Hunting rifle. There are NCPs that come in later that ignore zombies and solely shoot at you, leading to a weird combo of death. This game is very demanding in comparison to content, but that's alright in my eyes. For the current product, I can easily understand people not wanting to buy it at full price, but I personally think the game has potential and I'm wanting to see what gets made next.

The game seems pretty good, graphics are ok but the fps on a 6800xt and Ryzen 9 5900x combo is 45 fps. The game also causes my gpu to run hotter than say Cyberpunk 2077. To make matters worse when you die you are stuck in an animation of dying nonstop and the center of the screen is black and stays black for awhile, seems only a restart of the game fixes it. I highly recommend skipping it
