Tablet Reviews : Feelingtouch's Zombie Frontier

Ah, zombie games, haven't seen enough of those yet... except in a good way, of course. Free Walking Dead game? Not quite, less game and more interactive comic. A good top down monster shooter akin to old school game Zombies Ate My Neighbors? Haven't seen anything like that yet. This game? No exception. With rather uninspired though admittedly pretty graphics, your presented with a challenge to fight zombies... with menu screens that, oddly, made me think of a mafia like game but no particular mafia game on Facebook, with small bites of levels akin to zombie duck hunt with touch screen controls.

In first person shooter mode zombies wander at you, and all you have to do us shoot them, tapping to one side to reload... all this by the way earns you money that you spend on weapons and ammo... that you use to earn more money... to buy gear... to kill more zombies... that's it. Take on missions to kill zombies, buy gear, kill zombies, rinse off the blood and repeat... well, try as the game makes the dual mistake of throwing hardy sturdy zombies requiring multiple shots at you, then throwing way too many at you meaning your always overwhelmed. With a game like this you should be able to quick clear zombies with a good headshot or through the heart, except these zombies are too fortified so even headshots take several bullets which is absurd.

And did I mention the game seems to be a shoddy ripoff of Resident Evil 5 with not Chris Redfield fighting through Generic Town? Yup. All that combined and this is an recommendable pass. There's got to be better zombie games out there, and I will find it... this isn't it. A 2 out of 5.
