  • story
    92 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally viewed as intriguing but ultimately linear and predictable, often drawing comparisons to other zombie narratives like "The Walking Dead." While some players appreciate the setting and initial plot twists, many express disappointment with the lackluster ending and desire for a more dynamic, branching storyline. Overall, the narrative is seen as solid but could benefit from deeper exploration and character development in potential sequels.

    • “The main story is the best, I love it, and highly recommend for lovers of this type of game.”
    • “Fantastic, chill game with an excellent storyline.”
    • “Raging Bytes is really amazing, the fact that it's a turn-based RPG with an open world to explore works very well; the story and characters are good enough to keep you interested in progressing more and more.”
    • “The story is boring and really easy to guess, not much going to separate it from other zombie apocalypse games.”
    • “The art style is consistent and good, the story is mediocre and not memorable, the gameplay is challenging at first but then you realize you could simply use throwing weapons against the zombies all the way until the boss; the ending is underwhelming.”
    • “The storyline at the beginning is basically a rip-off of The Walking Dead season 1.”
