<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > preface</h1>
The zombie film "Zombie World War" released in 2013 received a high score of 7.6 in Douban, and a huge amount of money was invested to create a whole process without urine points, and the scene of the corpse tide taking a ladder to attack Jerusalem in the movie has also become a classic in zombie films. It is a pity that "Zombie World War 2" as a sequel could not be released as scheduled due to financial and director reasons, but such a classic IP will never be silenced.
In 2019, zombie world wars, a game produced by Saber Interactive, was announced to be released exclusively on Epic forever, after which the generous EPIC gave away the game itself as a free-to-play game in March 2020. The Zombie World Wars: Aftermath, released on Steam, is a new work that the publisher has changed its name to circumvent the exclusive agreement, and compared to the version of E Treasure Send, the following content has been added:
- Includes all previously released DLC content
- Added three new chapters, four new classes and new weapons
-Added first view
- Deluxe Edition adds four new gun skins and two melee weapons compared to the Standard Edition (not recommended purchase)
Below I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this game in detail, and you can choose whether to buy it at your discretion.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > advantage</h1>
Excellent optimization experience
The rest of the disaster has done a very good job in optimization, personally using the Lenovo Savior 2020 R7000P computer and external 2K display for gaming, equipped with THE CPU is AMD's R7-4800H, and the graphics card is 115w RTX 2060. When playing in ultra-high quality, the average frame of the game is 69 frames, and the whole game process does not encounter any stuttering, even in the high load environment of a large number of corpses, it can maintain a smooth frame rate of 62 frames. In addition, the game also supports AMD's latest FSR technology, and the average frame number has increased to 73 frames after opening, which is still a big improvement.
Unique map localization
Zombie World Wars has a total of seven different maps, which reminds me of the killer series of games. In the new "Killer" series, each map selects a famous region of a different country, and the architectural style and NPC customs are very restored, so that people can also feel the local customs and customs to varying degrees in the process of playing. And "Zombie World Wars" also plays a good role in this regard, the architecture of different regions is not the same, with a unique local style. The four members of the protagonist group are also not static, and their behavior and behavior are in line with the characteristics of the locals, especially the map of Tokyo and the local iconic Torii Gate, which is worthy of praise.
Rich system of weapons, characters, and characters
In order to enrich the gameplay of the game, Zombie World Wars has built a rich cultivation system for players. The character system provides four characters with different backgrounds for each map, and the production team also intimately produces a beautiful and comic-style promotional video for each character, making the image of each character more three-dimensional, and enriching the plot and world view.
In addition to a variety of characters, the class system is also an important part of the game, this game has a total of eight different classes, each carrying a different Buff, the follow-up new skills can be unlocked through the tokens in the game, suitable for players who like different ways of playing. Those who love melee combat can choose slashers, and those who love shooting can choose gunners, and the diverse professions make the process of repeated brushing pictures more fresh.
As for weapons, this game not only has a variety of rich weapons, but also supports the customization of weapon accessories and skins. For example, you can choose whether to add a scope and silencer, choose different grips and clips, and choose different skin styles, the overall freedom is not bad, and the richness of the weapon is also superior. And as the player's time of use of the weapon increases, the value of the weapon will gradually increase, bringing a sense of mutual growth to the player.
Integrate into the position warfare of the tower defense
Compared to the monotonous knife and gun fight, Zombie World Wars also adds a certain tower defense mechanism, which increases the impact of the game when facing the tide of corpses. Before the battle, the player can use the found automatic machine guns, high-voltage power grids, fence nets, etc., to choose different locations to achieve different effects. This mechanic not only increases the gameplay of the game, but also forces players to explore different areas to search for supplies and consume the boredom of waiting for the tide of corpses.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > disadvantages</h1>
High repetition and routine
Although the selling point of this type of game is the pleasure of mowing the grass, if you want to keep the player for a long time, you must not rely on this alone, but need to be supplemented by a variety of gameplay and different plots. Zombie World Wars does not do a good job at this point, for example, the above 7 maps, the tasks of each chapter are exactly the same, to summarize:
- Four people move from the birth point to the pick-up point
- Escort convoy through a large tide of corpses
- Encounter a blockade, find the key from the corpse to open the door
- Upon arrival at the camp, set up positions to meet a massive mass of corpses
Of course, there are also the above rich systems to bring different gameplay, but players need liver if they want to upgrade, and liver needs to endure high repetition of gameplay first. Although different maps have different landscapes, due to the similar core of the mission, there is less randomness, giving me a sense of tedium that I already know the ending from the beginning, which is also a common problem of this type of game.
Terrible first person
The first person, of course, is the highlight of the FPS, which can increase the immersion of the game, but the first-person experience of Zombie World Wars is really a bit bad. The biggest drawback is the incoherence of the personal names, the perspective will change to the third person when climbing, searching, installing items, and even melee attacks, especially when holding the chainsaw, where I was expecting a crazy killing feast, and the result was a whole third person, which was really disappointing. In addition, the opening of the game is really just a simple enlargement, rather than changing into a sight, which is really a lot of suspicion of rushing. The gun's sense of impact is not strong enough, but the recoil, feedback, accuracy and other aspects are top-notch, but it is also a pity that the handle input is not supported.
Not very smart AI and poor online experience
When it comes to offline experience, the AI of this game can be said to be as incompetent. No guns, no medicine, no throwing, no tower defenses when fighting positions, always three heels, the only advantage is which to fight. But this game zombies came from all directions, causing every time I cleared one side, I found that the back was surrounded by zombies, which really left me speechless. All in 2021, this AI level is not as good as the road to survival, will not go by itself, will not throw props, just take the initial weapon to fight, it is not as good as me alone to pick the tide of corpses, the sense of achievement is still stronger.
The online experience is also not good. At the beginning, there were still three AI to follow, until the final position battle came in two real people, but the whole process was still played separately, there was not much communication, and the online experience was not very good. Although the multiplayer mode is rich, it is difficult to match people, or to accelerate, in short, it is really cumbersome, but the challenge mode and the corpse tide mode are slightly more fun. Although I can understand that this kind of game is suitable for playing with familiar people, it is not easy to find four people at the same time, and novices have to go in with liver professions and liver guns, which is not as good as playing the road to survival together.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > conclusion</h1>
"Zombie World War: Aftermath" as a derivative of the big IP, obviously did not treat it with care, on the basis of the previous work, it has only done a small number of simple upgrades, which is completely a circle of money, and it is not recommended to buy at the current price. If you want to experience online with friends, it is better to play Survival Road 2, and there is better mod support, but if you like corpse tide and like a variety of gameplay, this game is also an option.
