Dead Pixels
IN A WORD: COMPELLING
Dead Pixels is a side-scrolling survival/shooter with some lite-RPG elements set in a zombie apocalypse. You take control of a human survivor making their way to safety through undead filled streets of a city. The basic aim of the game depends on the game mode.
There are three game modes; The main mode is your standard Escape the hordes. Survival is an arena mode where by you have to survive countless waves of hordes. Timed attack is a variant of Survival where by you must last as long as you can. You need to either; get from one side of the street to the other until you reach the end or kill as many zombies as you can. The number of streets to traverse depends on the difficulty setting.

its fun if you like the way it plays out. every zombie you come across was not meant to be killed. as the ammo count shows. the decisions you make with your ammo and your upgrades are a major game changer. With little ammo you have to find ways to let that ammo help you get to the next store. for the first few streets you could easily just walk through, though this is a good thing as it lets you stock up and sell the loot for more money and prepare for the real issues like the faster zombies which chip away at your health and the hordes that spawn when the rats run past. the extremely fast zombie is one that may seem impossible to beat but remember its not about beating the zombies its about surviving. so its best to just throw down a firework and run as fast as possible to the next road when he spawns, so save your fireworks.

Over My Dead Body (For You)
Great concept and full of charm. Love how new twists on the mechanics are constantly being introduced into the game. Looking forward to see it develops.

Bloody Zombies
I’ve always enjoyed Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Final Fight and all the classics beat’m up….
This game has all those mechanics that I loved …you could grab the enemies, you could run and hit them, you could pick guns…enemies have different attacks that when mixed will really push you to kill some first before others and other tactics….so …let me tell you guys: THE BEAT’M UP PART IS THERE and IS REALLY FUN TO PLAY!
now…add to that the VR part….wooooow
I’m REALLY ENJOYING IT IN VR but I could show you videos/screenshots and you will not still understand the sensation.

I personally don’t like a brawler type of games and Bloody Zombies is that kind of game. But if you have up to 3 friends under the same roof or over the internet. This game is good fun. There is also an option to play with other Steam users and it is a fun alternative way to play this game.
Too bad when you die and don’t have continues left. You need to start the whole level from the beginning and it is sometimes frustrating and you will beg for better checkpoint to levels (Even one in the middle way of the map)

Death Road to Canada
I discovered this game from a silly streamer playing it. It looked very goofy and also a lot of fun so I thought I give it a try also. Well I have to say I am rather shocked how many hours I ended up putting into it, it is honestly one of my all time favorite games. So here is a review from someone who has some “modest” amount of experience in the game.
Your goal is to reach this magical place of legend called Canada that for whatever reason is still safe in the zombie apocalypse. So it is up to your EXTREMELY COMPETENT AND TRUSTWORTHY characters to survive.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this game, and I’ve been having trouble putting it down. Death Road To Canada is basically Oregon Trail in a zombie apocalypse with a quirky sense of humor that you can easily sink hours into playing. While RNG plays a big role in the game, your skill can turn a bad run around and make a good run last all the way to Canada.
Pros:
+The gameplay is well executed, and there’s loads of variety. While the game is somewhat difficult, you’re given many tips and pointers when progressing to help you improve your strategy and create characters that will get you to Canada. If you’re looking for a challenge, there’s multiple hard modes that push you to the limit, such as having the trip take twice as long or even having double the zombies throughout the entire journey.
! I will beat KEPA mode someday. When fighting zombies, the outcome is reliant on your skill and what you can do with the materials at hand - sure, the game’s much easier if you have an automatic weapon and a lot of ammo, but you have to use it wisely as not only is it quick to use up your stock but also you’re limited on how much you can carry for each gun. Being able to create yourself, family, friends, and characters from different forms of media makes the game a lot more enjoyable and leads to lots of different outcomes and situations.

Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom
I wanted to at least complete the main story mode to give a proper review; I really had fun with this game, I’m super into the show and the books, but not exactly on the whole Action RPG formula (although this one reminded me a lot of Mercenary Kings, and that game rocks) so that says how well the characters can carry you along to keep you hooked xD
If you’re a fan of the show, you’re gonna love this game… Jack Sullivan as a protagonist can be annoying at times (and I like the guy LOL) so I don’t blame you if you find his narration obnoxious, that’s like… his thing, but then again it feels like something from season 1 of the show (considering the game was produced along it) and since then the characters had evolved a bit more ^^

This game is an incredible piece of crap. It NEVER boots into a usable interface and thus can’t be played. REFUND NOW!!

Zombie Vikings
Only 6.1% of players have completed this game, and there are reasons for that. While this review is ultimately negative, it definitely qualifies as one of those mid-line negatives. (Thanks, Steam. -_-) My wife and I enjoyed the game overall (she more than I), but there are so many problems with it that I couldn’t recommend it in good conscience. The following are some of the more prominent problems that we encountered throughout the game:
- A game-breaking bug in the Tomb of Bork. We were unable to exit giant mode because the sign wasn’t there–twice. We were only able to complete the stage on our second attempt because the game glitched again, causing us to fall in a pit and consequently exit giant mode.

Status: Completed (played in 2-player co-op)
A truly fantastic game, which deserves much more attention than it got.
Presentation
Top-notch, gorgeous to look at hand-drawn graphics. You can practically make some screenshots during cutscenes and choose any of them as your wallpaper, they’re THAT good. Never wanted to skip a single cutscene (skipped only if needed to replay the level again). It’s like watching a cartoon, a really good one.
The levels are extremely detailed and unique, never felt like going through the same thing all over again.

Nation Red
Nation Red is a top down Zombie Shooter. And a good one!
In several different Game Modes like Barricade (you need to hold a point, have some support from Sentry Guns or Soldiers) Survival (show them how long you can keep going) or the Classic endless mode. Every Game Mode offers you a different Challenge.
On top of that, there are tons of different power ups you can pick up, that will drop randomly from your enemies. While you’re playing you gain Experience and Level up, with every Level up, you get access to a wide Range of skills you can choose from, to optimize your Character in a way you want to play the level/game. Through that, the game offers a wide range of variations to try out and experiment with. The game also offers a variety of boss monsters you encounter randomly throughout your current play trough. Which all have their own strength and weaknesses. You can change the difficulty at any given time. As stronger as you make your enemies, the more experience you will get from them.

Definitely very good game, Top-Down it’s not maybe my prefered genre, but I really enjoyed this game. I have just done 100% achievements! It was fun :)
As achievement hunter I can recommend this game too, ‘cheevos were challenging and innovative (achievements in this game = ideas of people who play it - you can suggest in steam discussion), but nothing what you wouldn’t be able to do, especially when you have some hours behind you. I have finished all achievements in around ~50 hours, all without 3 cows, which means killing 500k, 750k & 1kk zombies and generally it was the most boring part of this game when I have finished everything else (killed ~330 000 when I was done with rest achievs.). Unfortunately Multiplayer will be dead till the end of this year, I had problems now with finding players, sometimes was lucky, mostly weekends evenings.

Zombie Estate 2
What is Zombie Estate 2?
If you don’t know, you are missing out!
Zombie Estate 2 is a Zombie Shoot-Em-Up that orginally came form the Xbox 360 (if you don’t know what that is, you are living under a rock or you came out of cryo-stasis) where you can choose over 70 weapons and upgrades for every one of them (Almost)! there is also a good amount of characters to choose from! Why is this game good though? Let me tell you (in pros and cons)!
Pros:
++ Unique weapons and many to choose from (also very fun to use)
– Real player with 44.5 hrs in game
The (currently) one (actual) negative review for this game is compelete BS. (The two word review “is $h!t” does not count) This game is not the “same old same old” nor is it a “clone in a sea of clones.” The orignal Zombie estate was realeased for Xbox 360 in May of 2010 and was a absolute blast and a fairly popular indie game. Zombie Estate 2 was realsed for the Xbox 360 in April of 2013… APRIL OF 2013!! So don’t sit on your @$$ and tell me that this game doesn’t bring anything to the table when you know nothing about the game itself. Not to mention, the artwork is not “a bit rough,” it is exactly how it is supposed to be. It is the same style as the orginal that was released in 2010. The map is definately not “a bit glitchy.” There may be some odd things like walking through the center post on a double door but that is intended. I would not want to get stuck trying to fit through a door when running from a hoard of tanks. “The guns are as standard as it gets”….. Really? You can get a Mini Robot after two waves (one if you are lucky) and thats just the lower tier, not even above the 10 cheapest weapons. You can even get a pet zombie with a freaking MINIGUN.

Zombiotik
Great game, very easy to play, very fun game, and playable up to 8, a game to add to his collection to spend good parties with friends and familly
– Real player with 0.7 hrs in game
A severely underrated local multiplayer gem!
The fact that it supports up to 8 is great, but we had loads of fun with just the 4 of us! The best part was when someone would develop a winning strategy, and everyone else ganged up to find a counter to it. The game felt like a constant leap frog of trying to utilise some new exploit, only for everyone to tear you back down!
