  • story

    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 75% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The game's story is generally considered weak and often nonsensical, with a main narrative that is easy to follow but filled with confusing and irrelevant side elements. While the atmosphere and presentation are praised, including effective voice acting and music, many players feel that the story lacks depth and coherence, detracting from the overall experience. Despite its flaws, some players appreciate the wacky tone and memorable characters, suggesting that the game may benefit from a more focused narrative approach.

    • “The campaign consists of 5 chapters, each with a handful of missions and more to come.”
    • “There are little cutscenes, the voice of the evil protagonist is terrifying, the music is oppressive (in a good way) and within missions, humans will scream for help, etc. all of this adds to the great atmosphere.”
    • “The new version has more storyline than the previous version and is more immersive than the original game.”
    • “As for the story, well, let's just say it's nonexistent, so I'm not going to talk about that.”
    • “The story is weak, but the gameplay is promising.”
    • “There's no funny little gimmick or any sort of angle; it's just shoehorned into the story for absolutely no reason.”

  • gameplay

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    47% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring fun mechanics that blend elements of tower defense and real-time strategy, allowing players to amass and control hordes of zombies. While some users find the core gameplay loop entertaining and appreciate the variety of mechanics, others feel that it requires further refinement, particularly in controls and overall execution. The inclusion of different difficulty levels adds replayability, though the story aspect is noted as a weak point.

    • “The mechanics are fun - amassing a horde of zombies and destroying everything never gets old.”
    • “It's essentially an RTS with nice visuals and a fun core gameplay loop: kill, resurrect, kill more.”
    • “After completing this stage, it starts to show you more and more interesting mechanics, like the randomized bonus system which makes no stages play the same.”
    • “If the gameplay doesn't feel right, then there's no point.”
    • “If this prologue is what the gameplay will be like, then I would say no thank you.”
    • “(Gameplay itself is alright, but still needs a lot of work and better controls.)”

  • humor

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the "doesn't take itself seriously" vibe and finding the voice acting hilariously bad, while others criticize the humor as wonky and poorly integrated into the story. Despite these inconsistencies, many reviewers enjoy the funny dialogue and the comedic elements of the gameplay, particularly in the anti-tower-defense mechanics. Overall, the humor adds a layer of fun, even if it sometimes feels rushed or out of place.

    • “I think they're onto something; the overlord-style game combined with the 'They Are Billions' ambiance and a rather funny setting works like a charm.”
    • “Great game, lots of fun, and the voice acting is hilarious.”
    • “Really funny anti-tower-defense-like gameplay.”

  • graphics

    44% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback, with some players appreciating the unique art style and well-drawn environments, while others find it tacky and cheap. Overall, the visuals are described as fitting the game's theme, with enjoyable effects and clear enemy distinctions, contributing to a fun gameplay experience despite not being the most visually stunning title.

    • “Visuals: looks like a well drawn map and the environment has a very unique art style that I enjoy.”
    • “Visuals are nice, enemies are easy to distinguish and everything looks crisp and clean.”
    • “Visuals, spells, and generals' abilities are all really well done and fun to see.”
    • “This game seems to have potential, but the art style comes off as really tacky and cheap, and the sound effects and voice acting are unbearable.”
    • “More will be in full release obviously, but I can't wait to bring that Stubbs the Zombie RTS to life. Honestly, from the videos, I was skeptical about the graphics, but this was the previous version. This did not disappoint.”
    • “Visuals: looks like a well-drawn map, and the environment has a very unique art style that I enjoy.”

  • atmosphere

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its impressive presentation, including terrifying voice acting, oppressive music, and immersive sound effects that enhance the experience. While the story may be minor, the combination of these elements creates a compelling and atmospheric environment that captivates players.

    • “While the story is just minor, the presentation is very nice and the overall atmosphere is just great.”
    • “There are little cutscenes, the voice of the evil protagonist is terrifying, the music is oppressive (in a good way), and within missions, humans will scream for help. All of this adds to the great atmosphere.”
    • “It's fun, very atmospheric, tactically demanding, and already offers enough content and possibilities to upgrade your zombies, but it also has its flaws.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The music in the game is described as oppressive yet effective, enhancing the overall atmosphere alongside chilling voice acting and sound effects, such as humans screaming for help during missions. This combination contributes significantly to the immersive experience.

    • “There are little cutscenes, the voice of the evil protagonist is terrifying, the music is oppressive (in a good way) and within missions, humans will scream for help, etc. All of this adds to the great atmosphere.”
    • “The music is repetitive and lacks variety.”
    • “The soundtrack feels out of place and doesn't match the game's atmosphere.”
    • “The background music is often too loud, drowning out important sound effects.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the replayability of the game, citing the fun upgrade options and diverse strategies available in each level. The inclusion of various generals and a randomized bonus system further enhances the experience, encouraging multiple playthroughs.

    • “The upgrade options you get in each level are pretty fun too - they add some replayability and allow for different strategies.”

    Players found the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in the free demo version, where lag issues compounded the experience. Many felt that reaching higher levels, such as level 15, was not worth the effort, especially after completing available content quickly.

    • “It was okay for a free demo, but had a lot of lag and I could not be bothered grinding to level 15 as I beat what was available before level 7.”
    • “I finished the demo and even completed some missions multiple times for grinding purposes.”
