    Let's start by saying i Paid less than 2 $ for this game so my expectations weren't big.
    This is a decent game, worth the price and probably more.
    Kind of a killing floor, it is actually kind of easy and even on hard difficulty I didnt have many problems, i suggest to play at the hardest difficulty. There's a new game plus mode that gets it harder, but it's not one of the games you will    Let's start by saying i Paid less than 2 $ for this game so my expectations weren't big.

    Kind of a killing floor, it is actually kind of easy and even on hard difficulty I didnt have many problems, i suggest to play at the hardest difficulty. There's a new game plus mode that gets it harder, but it's not one of the games you will probably want to replay.
    Wont be a masterpiece, wont be a famous game but still I enjoyed my hours in it, especially for what I paid.
    Zombies are always fun, especially when many and you have lot of different weapons to kill them with. You can also upgrade them.
    For the 100% addicts there are several achievements no one particularly hard but probably fun to get if you like the game.
    There are 3 game mode that can keep the fun going for another 4 to 5 hours surviving hordes of zombies (main story last around 5 if you are not speeding).

    Pros:
    Cheap
    Nice zombies
    Several Weapons and upgrading thing.
    Short but many things that can keep you going for some random zombie killing.

    Cons:
    Kind of easy especially if you use your powers.
    Silly voice acting
    Probably not the best story ever, but really does a game like this need one?

    75/100 for an underground and low budget game they really did a good job.    … Expand

    Super generic, but that's not a universally bad thing. You are tough person with big guns and lots of zombies coming at you in space with blood and explosions. Its pretty, and core shooting is satisfying.

    If you want horror, and think of this as a Dead Space clone, you will be disappointed, because if has no real scariness outside of some rising stress.

    If you want horror, and think of this as a Dead Space clone, you will be disappointed, because if has no real scariness outside of some rising stress. Best to think of it like a single player friendly Killing Floor. Waves and waves of bad guys, and you need to be quick, efficient, and good at retreating and managing the hoard. If you don't like killing floor, this will probably bore you. But if you do like killing floor, its a nice little competent bit of catharsis, and I got it for a buck. Not a lot of arguments against    … Expand

    Get guns. Shoot zombies. Get instructions from pseudo-Ahnold. Shoot more zombies. Dead Effect is (if you hadn't guessed) a zombie fps set on a space ship with a mad scientist whose experiments have gone wrong. We're clearly in B-movie sci-fi territory, and don't expect anything else. The dialogue and voice acting plays up to it. While Dead Effect doesn't possess the design of Dead Space orGet guns.

While Dead Effect doesn't possess the design of Dead Space or the gun-play of Bulletstorm, it's a decent way to pass time if shooting zombies is your thing. List price is $5 and it can discount even lower, making it a “why not?” buy that delivers more than its price and premise promises.… Expand

    The plot is so-so, it passes quickly.
    Graphics, well, the game is ported with phones, so it does not look like a crysis, but it seems like it Doom 3
    Not so many weapons, but for such a short game is normal.

    Неплохое напоминание, что когда-то на мобильных устройствах делали относительно хорошие игры.

    Wherever you turn you see evidence that it’s a mobile game ported to PC – it’s sluggish, not very exciting, the visuals are dated and the interface should have been completely redone to fit mouse instead of touchscreen. [02/2015, p.61]

    You will enjoy Dead Effect as a mediocre and stupid action snack - but it basically is the real charm of this game. We can neither recommend nor reject the game to your attention. The question whether it’s mixed for you or not you have to answer yourself.

    A fun FPS coming from the mobile scene that gets a bit too repetitive a bit too early.
