Gameplay
The gameplay of this first person shooter indie game is quite fun and kinda but not really reminds me of Black Ops 2 or Left 4 Dead 2. It has the same kind of features as the games but isnt as good as those. It is an action pack zombie shoot em up game. There is only one mode and its not labeled anything just "Start Game". All you do in the game is survive as long as you can till you die or get bored. You start as a random person in the middle of nowhere with a revolver and zombies come at you really quick. It has only about 5 - 6 weapons to actually get so you can kill the zombies. Once you start to kill the zombies and achieve bigger wave you will start to unlock things. Those things are like a health center, ammo re-filler, guns and thats about it. Each gun has its own power but one can be better than the other. I like using the shotgun and machine gun the most when it comes to killing, ill switch every now and then. It has somewhat of a big map but there is only one map which is the downside of this game. The map looks the same all around too so there really isnt much you can go either. The map is really small so you cant do a train. Oh yea, did I forget to mention that the zombies are made so they are to corner you and kill you. Well if your trying to do a train they will figure out some way to get around and kill you. Dont worry though you have a health meter and it takes quite a bit of hits to actually get you killed so you wont die as easy.

Graphics
The graphics of this zombie killing kind of game is pretty darn good for an indie game. The zombies will have there arms sticking out running or walking towards you trying to kill you. The zombies all have a different look to them like one will have blood all over him and look nasty and another will be all torn up every where. The zombies though, when they run at you it looks really laggy in a way and just doesnt seem right to me. The guns in this game look like any of the other guns you see in like Call of Duty, which isnt too bad. The guns all look really detailed, they look like they spent a lot of time on the guns and zombies. The map looks great with cacti all around the map but they all look the same. The map also has sand all around and it looks like a nice texture to the game. Now here is some bad parts of the game. When holding a gun you can see your thumb on your gun, the thumb looks terrible. It has like sharp edges and looks square like. Another bad thing is that the zombies when you actually shoot them instead of red coming out, green comes out, which makes no sense to me. One more thing is when you jump it delays for about 1 second then jumps and then you have to wait like 2 seconds if you want to jump again.

Controls
The controls of this game were like most first person shooter games. I only found three controls that there was in the game (sorry if I leave any out). Well you might have guessed all of them; "A" to jump, "LT" to aim in your weapons, and "RT" to shoot the zombies. Each control is just that simple but I have some things to say about these controls. As I have said before if you click the A button it seems that you have a little delay to jump over things or jump again. It also feels like you have to press it harder then other games would. When you press LT you aim in but when you aim in you have a little tiny iron sight to see out of and shoot. It will also cause your weapon not to spread on the zombies as much. I prefer the hip firing more than aiming in. RT well theres nothing really bad about this control. I forgot to mention that right joystick is to move and when you hold it down you sprint. I would say they should fix it so you have to press it and not hold it down to sprint, I find that very dumb. Overall the controls arent to bad they just have some bad things about the control thats not very good. Each could use some fixes but its not the hottest control game.
