gameplay2 positive mentions
graphics3 negative mentions
  • Unique theme blending 80s horror, heavy metal music, and a female rock band fighting zombies.
  • Varied enemy types and levels with arcade-style brawling and some strategic elements like landmines and shock waves.
  • Includes vehicle sections and a driving sequence to add variety to gameplay.
  • Controls are stiff, unresponsive, and not well-optimized for keyboard or controllers, causing frustration.
  • Combat is repetitive, slow, and unbalanced with poor hitboxes; many enemies and bosses are easy or boring.
  • Visuals and sound are mediocre, music can be generic or annoying, story is shallow, and the game lacks co-op multiplayer.

  • music

    The game's music features original hard rock and heavy metal tracks with an '80s horror vibe, created by the developers rather than licensed artists, which some players find generic or "faux rock," while others enjoy its energetic arcade style and thematic fit. However, opinions vary widely, with some wishing for licensed tracks from well-known bands to enhance the experience. Overall, the music adds to the game's atmosphere but may not satisfy all rock music fans.

    • “It features a female band that are like a cross between The Runaways and a band from an anime cartoon. The game has a lot of cool hard rock/heavy metal references and music (all made by the developers; there isn't any licensed music), and it has a very cool 80's horror vibe.”
    • “I love the background music; I find myself nodding my head as I play!”
    • “I liked the music, the arcade-style graphics, and beat 'em up gameplay with guitar and magic.”
    • “The music is generic butt rock.”
    • “Said special place is open for the person who figured that this horrible, wannabe faux rock music blaring constantly was an excellent idea.”
    • “Ugliness - for a game that signs itself rock, it has mediocre background music, not to mention other sounds that are tragic.”

    The story receives mixed feedback, with some finding it unique and entertainingly cheesy, particularly from the perspective of a lady heavy metal rock band, while others criticize it as shallow, poorly presented with compressed visuals, and uninspired. Despite its flaws, some players still find enjoyment in its guilty pleasure appeal.

    • “I like the unique story from the lady heavy metal rock band point of view.”
    • “If you are not standing in the exact spot you should be, the zombies and/or bosses will damage your health bar to a ridiculous degree... the storyline is amazingly cheesy but even with all that said, I enjoyed the hell out of this guilty pleasure feast!”
    • “The story telling is typical shallow, but I got a good chuckle out of it.”
    • “Terrible, terrible story.”
    • “The story is ok and includes static comic book-like images with text bubbles for cutscenes, but many of them are horribly compressed or zoomed in.”
    • “The storytelling is typically shallow, but I got a good chuckle out of it.”

  • graphics

    The graphics feature a blend of arcade-style and colorful 3D visuals, with notable effects like smoke and rain adding appeal, though overall quality is described as average rather than exceptional. While some appreciate the retro-inspired art and style, others find the visuals uninspired or lacking.

    • “I liked the music, the arcade style graphics and beat 'em up with a guitar and magic gameplay.”
    • “The answer to that question can be found in this videogame which combines both, classic gameplay from the arcade golden age with colorful 3D graphics.”
    • “The graphics and sound are fine, however the controls are a little wonky, although I wouldn't say they're so bad it makes it unplayable.”
    • “Graphics aren't bad but aren't really great either, but the smoke and rain effects really do look cool in a 3D backdrop.”
    • “[Targeting is off, no co-op at all, horrible visuals, boring gameplay, uninspired story]”

    The humor in the game is subtle and unintentionally funny, with amusing moments like non-playable characters comically standing behind the player after levels. This lighthearted, natural humor enhances the overall enjoyment.

    • “It's also hilarious how the two you don't play as just run up behind you when you finish a level and stand there as if they did something.”
    • “It's funny without trying to be, which made it enjoyable for me.”

  • stability
