[h2]An Old Flash Treasure[/h2]
Although it has already been a few years since the release date, it is about time that I give a comment on this.
First of all, I must pay respect to the developer who's faithfully returned to the original concept of the Zombotron trilogy. It is truly heartwarming to see some of these old Flash games remastered and resurrected, as many of us have likely had memorable hours playing them. I'm one of those people and this just struck me right in the sweet spot. The graphics, the physics, the striking visuals, and the recognizable Zombotron soundscape, everything's in place.
The idea of the game is a rather conventional zombie-shooter. You advance through levels by blasting off alien heads, unlocking hidden items and weapons, and finally defeating the evil bosses. Nothing new in particular, but a functional format that's been taken to a diligent standard.
Gameplay itself is solid and satisfying, rather casual, but occasionally challenging. It has also been criticized for being "repetitive". While I definitely see that, this was somewhat true of the original trilogy as well. You get the same concept and game mechanics - in a slightly refined form - and I believe that's much of the game's value in itself. For newcomers, that might not sit well, but if you loved Zombotron in the first place, you know what to expect. And let's be honest, it is an indie game, not an AAA game. For what it is, it's an excellent effort.
I must note, however, that the gameplay does fall quite short and you will most likely complete the game in less than 15 hours, with all of its achievements. I would've also desired a more visible, consistent narrative, something I miss from [i]Zombotron II: Time Machine[/i]. Perhaps the upcoming [i]Zombotron Re-Boot[/i] will take these into consideration.
In this day and age, Russian video games aren't that widely displayed, which is understandable. Nevertheless, indie developers deserve recognition for their work, and in many aspects, I think Zombotron has received far too little attention.
[h3]Conclusion[/h3]
Zombotron is a modern remake of the old classic and a pure-blooded platform-shooter offering plenty of enjoyment at a reasonable price point. If you're still tempted to buy it, I see no reason not to.
Definitely worth a try or two!

I thoroughly enjoyed this platformer/action game, though I wish it felt a bit less clunky at times. While it doesn’t introduce any groundbreaking ideas, it still delivers a fun experience and provides a few solid hours of entertainment.

I was excited to play this becouse I used to play the flash game, but this game is so anoying. Sometimes when i jump it glitches me and I am flying and stuck in the ceiling and it happened to me many times when i was almost at the end of the stage. I am still planing to finish the game tho its not gonna be fun. Dissapointment.

Zombotron was one of my favorite childhood games. The unique vibe that the game got is fantastic. First, I did not think that it can be as good as the original flash ones was, but it is, or even a bit better. The soundtrack is out of this world, so this is another really good feature. Overall I totally recommend it!

Sponge Boss.
The game is visually good. Repetitive but good.
The controls are correct. A bit heavy. Especially when it comes to jump.
Secrets may not be reached if you destroyed something or passed a certain place. You may still restart the level from its beginning to get their content.
Musics seems to come from an epic movie. Such as Conan the Barbarian. They are nice.
Then comes the boss. Totally unbalanced with the rest of the game. A grenade sponge that have the capacity to absorb your damages. So, you may damage it but totally randomly. And its armor blocks a lot. You send him 10 grenades in its face, it does not feel anything. So, goes your bullets. You see the message "blocked" popping all around it every times. It blocks most of the damages you inflict. Meanwhile, it populates the very closed space with minions... Uninteresting as possible. You try to jump above anything including itself. Remember the mention above, a barely responsive jump.
On the other hand, it touch you once and goodbye. Restart.
Or the other option, goodbye to the game.
Which I am doing right now. Exit, 5mn review, uninstall, play something else.

VERY GOOD GAME, but do not expect it to be like the Flash variants.
There are a lot of people misleading buyers. This game does have its similarities but it is pretty different as well.
Remember how many times you died in the other Zombotron Games? Yeah? Guess what, multiply it by 3, that's how many times you're gonna die in this game.
OHHHH, by the way, death is more punishing in this game. If you have no checkpoints, the level will simply restart and you will lose all of your progress.
Even with checkpoints this can happen, but you have a few more lives to complete the level.
I don't recommend the game to people with Anger issues.
This game is very hard and satisfying... but it can be a pain in the butt as well
Play the Flash Games if you believe this game is too hard; it's not worth getting angry over a bloody game.
