But the game is not without its underlying problem, because of which it quickly becomes boring. The main idea of ​​the game, cooperative shooting in a zombie apocalypse in different cities with little plot background, but the cities themselves are nothing more than a "straight gut" from point A to point B, no variety of walkthrough at all... But shooting zombies is fun and there is a small but nice bonus in the form of a kind of upgrades of characters and weapons. It is a pity that the developers did not tried to make something really interesting but only took some old concepts from the old L4D. It seems to me that it was necessary either to make the gameplay itself more diverse in the form of cooler locations and variations of movement in them... or to write a normal plot, since the passage is a "banal straight gut".… Expand

    the sounds, feel, look, etc. of the weapons are solid and good.
    the zombies are well done, really cool technic to how to make masses of enemies. gj.

    teamplay is the same, a little worse, than all other of these games, mostly due to how inventory works (which i always disliked in these)

    where the game completely fails and why i give it a 1 / 10, is that the devs have used an excessive amount of coding time ensuring that the AI bots will do EVERYTHING! to fck you over and help the zombies.
    so base code is
    "follow you shoot zombies the player can see;" ok its **** ai but it is better than nothing.
    "then ignore zombies in players back 90% of the time" ehh what? so i constantly get hit in the back even if i got 3 bots standing RIGHT behind me shooting in my direction?? you use TIME and Energy on coding in that the ai need to be **** and not help the player?
    "then never kill specials that attack player from behind ONLY react to them after 3-4 seconds" this is so absurd, so you can have special wonder through the npc's as if nothing happens jump your back 3 ai looking straight at it just WAITING for you to take dmg before reacting".
    "then the worst; WHENEVER! a player is aiming from a secure position stand in front of the player with your head in the sight, IF player move sideways recheck position and stand in front of the sight with your head; stand in front around 5 meters so players can't shoot the zombies, all bullets are soaked up by bot and zombies run around bot directly at the player after the AI has blocked all bullet for them...
    THIS! happens CONSTANTLY!!! and THIS is why it gets a low score!! playing any harder difficulty with just 2+bots become basically impossible as the bots ACTIVELY!!! tries to help the zombies kill you".
    why would you use so much extra code on trying to just fck up the player?

    why would you not use it on making AI actually use packages put on ground, actually carry stuff there is found, actually being AI bots that did anything usefull, instead you coded them SPECIFICALLY! to fck up the player... which is completely unaccceptable and honestly it removes all positive from your game...

    seriously you can't even disable the bots so you can just play it with 2 people....
    so you are forced to deal with their constant betrayel and consistantly attempt of getting you killed...
    ....

    its just so utter **** i am baffled anyone that isnt a drooling braindead moron! would ever code such **** knowingly...
    if it is some fcked up attempt at making people be forced to play with others its really fcking moronic and we are not dealing with that **** morons from just trying to kill others to people who should never be on such difficulty, to all kind of harassers etc.. seriously not worth the fcking agro and also i dont want to play with random people i want to have fun with a friend or two when it fits US!

    seriously GET YOUR **** TOGETHER!!!! and FKING FIX THE AI!!!!    … Expand

    World War Z: Zombie - Shooter game like the Left 4 Dead.

    The game surprises me with the atmosphere and level of world architecture not only, but how similarly the game is recreated from the movie in terms of zombies. So the gameplay in the game isn't the most impressive, as the developers use the same formula, stealth or action and great action in fighting the Zombie Hordes and defending position. The characters in the game look quite interesting. The game has 4 levels, like Episode, and each episode has several levels. What’s fascinating is that you play different countries in each Episode. Voice - characters actors do a great job, for example: the episode is for Russia, so you play for other characters, and they will have that Russian accent. In the game, you play with four characters as the team can play with bots or friends, much like Left 4 Dead. The game's soundtrack isn't very appealing to the action, at least for me. But what I didn’t really like is that the levels in the game don’t have a checkpoint, if you die you start the whole level all over again, which makes me very angry. Bots don’t really help, they just help you shoot zombies, nothing else, and you have to do everything yourself to build guard things and so on. The game feels boring, the levels have such objectives, and you need to complete it and the game has its own formula for how to kill and defend against zombie hordes. This is very boring !. If you beat the level you get game money, where you can buy some guns upgrades and skills, and you need grinding the game, and you get XP for guns and skills, then you can buy more things, this is **** !. Also, the game is gore cool.

    So the game isn’t that bad, it has both good and bad things. You have beautiful level architecture. The gameplay itself is quickly boring and annoying. I just hoped the game would have a story game, like during the movie, but I’m not saying it’s bad. Maybe they didn’t have that much budget to make a perfect game, or they directly tried to do something like Left 4 Dead, but with the movie idea. I would rate this game 7/10.    … Expand

    What i didnt like: MTXs, DLCs, premium currencies, extremly low player populations also due to DLC segregation,    Got this for free on the epic store and gave it a shot for 8h or so.

    In summary I feel like this game is a repeat of the bad decisions that lead to the failure of EA's SW BF / BF2. The insane focus on currencys / MTX's / weeklies / daylies and not on core substantial content leaves a sour taste in my mouth. This game wants to be a "game as a service" but it lacks tons of content and playerbase to be one. Do not buy this game if its not heavily discounted its not worth more then 10 bucks.    … Expand

    Non è un'idea orrenda, andare in giro per il mondo a sterminare colonie di zombi. Peccato per l'estrema ripetitività del gameplay, che viene un pochino attutita dalla possibilità di giocare in co-op. Il multiplayer funziona, ma non lasci a chissà che impressione di alcun tipo.

    The RPG element works and the guns are interesting, as well as the additions and upgrades to them - I found it changes how the map/game works!

Mowing down hundreds of thousands of the undead turns out to be really fun. Weapons lack polish and are pretty generic but they are quite few of them so you can switch between them and not get bored very fast. However I feel a need to mention that heavy weapons which are special weapons that can be found on the map and don't regain ammo like normal weapons do and also are incredibly effective against the horde are actually pretty nice to use. The progression system is good too. It doesn't bring anything to the table but it doesn't force you into grinding either. It's just pretty basic. The classes are a good shot at adding replayability to the game. Unfortunately to me playing the same 5 different maps feels a little tedious. It's a shame that they didn't add diffrent variants of chapters or made different scripted events like PD2 or L4D had. This would've helped massively. But the class system is a pretty good alternative which is also adding another layer of progression into the game. Characters have different backgrounds and most of them are plausible. There are a few rotten apples tho. But only in terms of backstory because I personally think all the voice actors did a great job. At last map design. The map design is very good. The team behind levels knew what they were doing and it really shows. Each map has different sections which never feel the same. Every holdout section is different and masterfully crafted. The settings are for the most part pretty unique and like holdout scenarios diffrent from each other. It's a blast to play it for first time and a ton of even after you've already experienced what you were supposed to.… Expand

The class system is a little bit odd. Among all the available classes, I can't find a single one to identify with. The class skills seem kind of arbitrary often and I have difficulties finding the right play styles for the skill trees that I select. Something doesn't add up there. It becomes even more of a concern considering how difficult the game is to beat when you don't get perfect multiplayer companions. In solo, you will loose. In multiplayer on easy mode, you will still need decent player companions to survive a round - not speaking of horde mode which doesn't have an easy mode. All in all, it's simply too difficult for the given skill tree options that don't grant you many benefits. I would have hoped for more options to max out your class and their special skills. Another point I dislike is the lack of ultra wide support. Lastly, the stories are fine given the genre and WWZ lore (having read the book). It's difficult to follow though when you're supposed to listen to your characters and companions while hordes of zombies run at you. But there isn't much of a story to discover overall, which limits replayability to minor extensions in the skill tree and predicting the crowd AI (which is difficult). Shooting, shooting, and shooting just don't provide what I need to replay the missions. In conclusion, I had hoped for more but I also want to give credit for the engine work and crowd AI, which seems novel for a zombie shooter.… Expand

    Another way to give the game replayability is by adding challenges and horde mode. Not encountered a challenge that I was remotely close to being able to complete, but Horder mode is the real star anyway. Waves of increasingly taxing zombies, equipment that wears out, and a shop where you can replace it. Except this is where the whole thing falls apart. A key (and bloody irritating mechanic in the game) is a rapid countdown timer. You can't do anything instantly - reload, change weapons, or pick up new ones. They all have a 1 or 2 second timer to prevent you being able to just do what you want to do in the midst of an attack. Bad enough when it comes to picking up a new weapon, but when the same timer is used on the ingame horde mode shop, it becomes infuriating - not for the time delay, but because the "Open shop" button is also the purchase item button. So you're waiting for the poxy timer to go down and trying to judge so that you don't.... accidentally... buy.... NO DAMN IT, I bought another bloody electric kit.
    Whoever came up with and signed off on this mechanic should be fired IMMEDIATELY. It totally ruins what is otherwise an EXCELLENT mode in a pretty decent game.
    At NO POINT do I want to have to battle a game's interface, and even less so when I have limited time, limited resources, and a single wrong purchase can cost me hours of effort.

    La recensione si baserà infatti principalmente sulla differenza tra questo titolo e il diretto rivale.

    World War Z, esattamente come il gioco della Valve, è sviluppato a capitoli e livelli, anche se in questo caso sono di numero decisamente inferiore. Le location sono tutte molto precise, anche se alcuni elementi sono ripetuti un po' troppo spesso e si finisce per impararne le caratteristiche (ad esempio se un furgone contiene oggetti, se può essere aperto o se è semplicemente scenico).

    Gli zombie sono identici a Left 4 Dead, ovvero oltre ai nemici base ne sono presenti alcuni "speciali" e più difficili da sconfiggere. Anche questi zombie speciali sono gli stessi. Gli unici assenti rispetto a L4D sono il Tank e la Witch, ma si possono ritenere sostituiti dalle orde di zombie, che sono esageratamente grandi e a tratti anche buffe (gli zombie arrivano come un fiume in piena lanciandosi dai palazzi).
    Proprio per contrastare queste orde sono presenti nel gioco delle armi fisse, come mitragliatrici e mortai, che sono un'aggiunta interessante ma che personalmente non mi convince appieno.

    Le differenze principali da Left 4 Dead, e che personalmente mi piacciono molto, sono la visuale in terza persona (di cui sono un grande fan) e il sistema a classi. Quest'ultimo è ben sviluppato in quanto ogni classe (che prescinde dal personaggio selezionato) ha caratteristiche precise che si sviluppano ancora di più utilizzandolo e quindi facendolo salire di livello. Allo stesso modo salgono di livello anche le armi e questo permette di acquistarne modifiche.

    Per concludere posso dire che non è un gioco originale e se sotto certi aspetti è meglio rispetto a Left 4 Dead è solo perchè è uscito diversi anni dopo e parte da una base consolidata che non ha necessitato di molto studio. Ottenuto gratis sull'Epic Store però merita di essere giocato con gli amici, che magari non sono in possesso del titolo Valve.

    Прикольная l2f подобная стрелялка. Кампания мне понравилась, волны тоже прикольный режим, прокачка, классы. Но быстро надоедает

    An interesting project. One could draw a parallel with l4d. There is nothing to do there without friends.

    It looks nice and would be quite good if not for the fact that the companion AI is abysmal (I like to play solo with bots). This is enhanced by the fact that many missions have you defend places but the AI is terrible at protecting stuff so you end up losing missions instantly because you failed to defend some point that you have to defend yourself while the AI don't care (these instantIt looks nice and would be quite good if not for the fact that the companion AI is abysmal (I like to play solo with bots).

    I am starting to see why reviewers were pretty mixed with the title. I mean its fun to play and it looks good but Left for Dead 1/2 still do this infinitely better. Each episode in this game is so short and there are only 3 missions between each location (New York, Moscow, Jerusalem and Tokyo).

    Also the lack of enemy variety is a big problem. Valve's games have a good mix of challenging enemy types where as this game just mostly relies on hordes to show off its horde capability but even that is a bit of a misnomer (and merely window dressing), because there never are as many zombies on the screen as you initially see running at your group.

    Sure there is the "hulk" zombie (extra strong), the "screamer" zombie (who calls others) and the "gas" zombie (who emits hazardous gasses when killed around the group) but they don't seem to be a nearly as fine tuned or menacing as in Valve's games.

    Considering what could have been done, it is a bit of a disappointment.    … Expand

    World War Z is a genuine fun and entertaining Left 4 Dead clone that does add a bit of its own stuff to a mix in the old formula. The only issue is that bugs, glitches, and poor connectivity are can be annoying, but hopefully, that will be sorted.

    All in all, World War Z is a pretty fun experience. It’s one that definitely surprised me, as the developers in my opinion didn’t put their best foot forward with the trailers. It still may not appeal to people who weren’t fans of the movie, but if you’re a fan of zombie games, especially co-op experiences like Left 4 Dead, it’s a solid experience at a relatively cheap price for the amount of gameplay and replay value you’re getting. Just make sure you’re playing with friends, as playing with randoms is often as bad as playing with the single player AI.

    World War Z is very competently made and has very few flaws, but it's just nothing we haven't seen plenty of times before.
