This was a rather good mobile title that seems to have made its way over to PC. I think I'm going to get it.
You basically control some supercarrier that you use to travel around the globe fighting a zombie outbreak. To do this, you buy vehicles, recruit soldiers, scientists, medics, etc., buy gear and equipment, research better technologies, etc. However, not all nations will cooperate with your efforts, so you often times have to fight government forces, as well.
You basically deploy your troops into relatively quick battles where the mission is to clear the area of zombies, rescue VIPs, recover important gear/equipment, etc. its a pretty neat idea and I look forward to being able to control things with a keyboard and mouse over the touch controls that could sometimes be cumbersome on an ipad.

ftfy :P
Reading more detail on it, I have to change my initial impression...it looks REALLY awesome. Reminds me of combination of Aliens and XCOM. They really had me at the the inclusion of armored vehicles.
Buy it! Buy it now!!!
Looks kinda cool! I like the catamaran design of that super carrier.
I saw it first!! Stop oggling!
:D
The zombie? Just the one? Doesn't seem too hard.
They modeled the one zombie after Gus.
The dreaded ankle-biting Zombie
Ok, now I'm scared.

So having resolutely promised to myself to buy no more games for a month in an attempt to at least look at some 9f the others I have now resolutely promised myself that I will be adding this to my library tonight.
Well done. And it's only 12.99. No big whup.
So you bought it?
Probably will this weekend.

Are you interested in it?
Somewhat. I'm not really into zombie stuff, but the game looks cool and it's reasonably priced.
:D
This is great fun on my iPad and was always hoping for a PC port. Instant buy. O0
That carrier is sick, dude...
Looks like fun. I agree with folks on the touchscreen vs. mouse though. I really noticed a difference with Atlantic Fleet. A touchscreen is not the best interface for some games.
Until further notice, I'm calling this game X-ZOM. Seems like a very cool concept.
Has anybody bought it? I'd love to see an AAR or just some game play impressions.

I got it. Will dick around over the weekend.
JH,
Thanks for the tip (as usual!). I just picked this up. I haven't played it yet, but the premise reminds me of an interesting older game called Atom Zombie Smashers.
I may slide out of the office a bit early today so that I can give this a spin.
I called it X-Zom upthread! MINE

I had Atom Zombie Smashers too. If I recall correctly, this is actually far more in-depth. However, if you liked AZS, you will probably really like this one too!
available on Steam?
Yes.
Thanks Barf,
the comparison to XCOM makes me interested
Gus, I hadn't seen that from you, but I'll give you dibs. Brilliant minds think alike!
Reading the page on Steam, it says that combat versus the Zombies is RTS. This will totally work for some, but it's a concern to me. I just find that genre of game is typically too frantic to satisfy me. If I want a frantically changing dynamic environment, I'll just go back to raising two small children in the real world!
^You can always do both.
I am just about to pull the trigger...
Quote from: Gusington on April 06, 2018, 05:17:54 PM
I am just about to pull the trigger...
And then buy the game after a quick nap.
I could use a nap.
About 20 days into the (open ended/non linear) campaign my carrier, renamed SDF1, is off the coast of India. Multiple cities are reporting infections and zombie outbreaks ranging from the teens to 5k. I can see quite a few nations are unfriendly or worse as governments become more unstable as the zombie plague spreads, when suddenly 3 different countries launch air strikes against my carrier. I only have 1 F-35 and 1
F-18 available, this is gonna hurt. As the attacks are completed, I pay for repairing the ship and prep for the challenge ahead.
With the current Marines and flight crews available I can launch two ground assault missions (played on tactical map) this turn. I also have to think about retaliation against the countries that launched the air strikes against me. My fighters can't conduct attacks (played on strategic map) this turn as they moved (I scrambled them for air defense during the enemy raid) but I do have some tomahawk equivalent missiles that I can use to safely bombard and degrade a nation's Air Force and even eliminate it with enough ordnance. (This also occurs on the strategic layer, seen as a moving missile launch on global mapscape).
Meanwhile I notice that my two FOBs in Germany and in DC can launch their own tactical missions within the AO they cover. (Ranges are a limitation here). Oh and let's see what my r&d labs are up to and whether I can buy new ones that open new research trees.
End report.
These are the type of decisions faced every turn in this wonderful little game. Incredible tension and even the real time tactical missions are full of little nuance without being a click fest or even close to it. Can't recomment it enough! Fight the infected, find a cure, save the world! (The Last Ship, crossed with Xcom and the Walking Dead)
GEN Hawk you should work for the publisher's marketing department. If I was on this fence at all about this title I'm not now.
Totes sounds like my sort of jam - gracias, GeneralHawk!
