    Dead Alliance may not have the best visuals or the biggest budget, but it implements a MOBA-like system into an appropriate zombie shooter mold and provides a unique experience, unlike anything I’ve played in the genre. Other developers would do well to take notes from Psyop Games on their brilliant combination between MOBA and multiplayer shooter.

    If your looking for a shooter to play with friends, this might be an option (although there are many better ones), but other than that, you won't find anything particularly interesting here.

    For all of its promise, Dead Alliance falls frustratingly short of its full potential. The combat is well executed and the creative uses of zombies are easily the most satisfying aspects of the mechanics. Sadly, it lacks the polish necessary to justify its considerable $39.99 price tag.

    Dead Alliance has an interesting proposal but fails from the very beginning: it's not even funny or enjoyable after a couple of rounds. Extremely poor graphics and a very simple one player a mode with bots and survival.

    While I liked a couple of the ideas behind Dead Alliance, they’re not capitalised on to create something truly interesting. What we’re left with is a painfully generic, often broken online shooter that’s begging to be put in the ground, preferably under ten feet of quick-set cement.

    DEAD Alliance
    A decent game held back by its ridiculous grind
    Dead Alliance is basically Call of duty with zombies running around.. There    DEAD Alliance
    A decent game held back by its ridiculous grind
    Dead Alliance is basically Call of duty with zombies running around..
    There is a competitive online mode, a single player mode where you play with bots or in survival
    There is no campaign here…
    It’s a 4v4 multiplayer shooter where zombies are running around the map that you can use against your opponent...
    this is the twist of the game and it’s a really great twist..
    There are 3 classes, light, medium, and heavy, with their own weapons, but you’re also able to customize a loadout and choose the grenades you take with you and the kill streaks and perks you earn...
    these aren’t your typical grenades though…
    they all have to do more with effecting zombies than they do your enemies…
    you carry 2 different types.. one for example you can use to lure zombies to one spot and then throw a grenade to turn them on your side and they will run towards the nearest enemy
    it’s fun playing with different combinations in the matches…
    You can’t choose the match type you play though which I don’t mind too much as this is a smaller game.. It’s probably hard enough to fill servers as it is...
    instead you’ll play the games 6 modes at random, those being king of the hill capture and hold, team death match, free for all capture the flag, and attrition.. Your typical competitive shooter modes across, 6 different maps...
    these maps aren’t anything special but I was still having tons of fun with this game…
    And then my fun just stopped…
    And this is because the game is asking way too much from a player to unlock new abilities, perks, weapons, and items for those weapons…
    I was cleaning house in these matches, one match getting close to 100 kills for my team and I never felt I was rewarded efficiently for this…
    After my first hour and a half of playing and dominating most matches, I was only level 7 with a little less than $6000 earned…. The average single attachment is anywhere from 10 to 25000
    that’s just for one attachment, grenades around 15,000 all the way up to 50,000, with perks being the only decently prices items ranging from $3000 to $35,000, but even then some have ridiculous level requirements… like level 35 or level 50
    so on average you’re going to be making around 4k per hour of playing
    you’re looking at 3 hours just to try out 1 single new attachment for your weapon
    let alone the 4 more hours you’ll need to try out a new grenade… or 1 to 2 more hours on top of that to try out 1 new perk…
    It’s a joke how little this game pays out..
    You need hook and variety is how you do that...
    you need players playing with different combinations and making different loadouts for specific match type…
    you don’t want them playing to unlock those things…
    you want them playing with those things behind this wall for them to find their perfect combinations and mastering them…
    I’m not saying have everything unlocked from the start, but 3 hours just to try out 1 new attachment,
    get out of here with your unpolished feeling call of duty with zombies nonsense
    0 respect for the players time
    I give Dead Alliance
    a 5/10    … Full Review »
