    I feel it is necessary to give this game an 8/10. Initially the game was flawed but the latest update added a fair amount of new things. This game has immense potential and there is not a single issue that could not be fixed by an update. The lower quality graphics allow for a larger world with a steady frame rate.

The lower quality graphics allow for a larger world with a steady frame rate. There are not any games available on the system that are similar to this game either. Being that this is true, there isn't anything it can be compared to. This game should be happily welcomed to the system. It is also one of the cheapest games available on the eshop that also includes online multiplayer.… Expand

    Ice Station Z is one of the best games I have ever played. I got it as a joke as it was basically free ($4), but then when I first played it the experience was absolutely unreal!

    There are one or two flaws that really wouldn't change much, like, you can go through trees, the zombies can outrun you. But really, that's pretty much it!

    I then recommended this game to friends, then this reminded me so much of minecraft. You can use voice chat unlike many other games. The only other game I can think of that you can use voice chat on is Pokemon. I like how you can only see others nametags when you wave to them.

    Really recommend this game.    … Expand

    ISZ means a lot to me, I've spent way too many hours in this game then I would like to admit, and have met many friends through this game. The game is unlike anything else on the Nintendo 3ds, being somewhat of a "Day Z clone" with full online multiplayer and voice chat. The graphics are very basic but aren't ugly in a way that it could be a turn off for gamers.

The game is unlike anything else on the Nintendo 3ds, being somewhat of a "Day Z clone" with full online multiplayer and voice chat. The graphics are very basic but aren't ugly in a way that it could be a turn off for gamers. Sound design is very nice and the elements challenge your skill as you try to survive. However singleplayer is very unfair and unbalanced, with items spawning incredibly far away from each other, and a slow pace. The real fun lies in the multiplayer, which features great chatting mechanics, vehicles to ride on or fly with, and excellent gunplay. For it's 4$ price tag, I highly recommend it, even if I am a bit late with this review.… Expand

    Yes, this game has a ton of jank, but it also has a ton of heart. Very excited for the New switch release. Both are very cheap, just give it a shot.

    Game pretty much does everything it can for being a 3DS title, it released exclusively on the Eshop and many would say it was bad Graphically but for an open world multiplayer Nintendo 3DS game the graphics are passable. The game gets really fun in Multiplayer you can play with up to 8 other players, have huge gun fights, mess around, explore the large open world or fight the zombies thatGame pretty much does everything it can for being a 3DS title, it released exclusively on the Eshop and many would say it was bad Graphically but for an open world multiplayer Nintendo 3DS game the graphics are passable. The game gets really fun in Multiplayer you can play with up to 8 other players, have huge gun fights, mess around, explore the large open world or fight the zombies that infest the games world. Overall for a Indie 3DS game that tries to do so much with so little its a fantastic game that I got countless hours of fun from. But looking back and comparing it to the remake on Nintendo Switch I'd take the remake over the original anyway, but I would always recommend playing the original before the remake for a newer player!… Expand

    There's not much to say about Ice Station Z, other than that it feels like a prototype or a proof of concept more than a final game. If there's hidden depth to be found, we certainly didn't come across it, and if things pick up later in the game very few are going to stick around for the experience. Ice Station Z, unfortunately, is not worth your time or money.
