Outbreak: Endless Nightmares twists the series' survival horror gameplay by adding elements of roguelike gameplay. You'll need to explore, hunt for supplies, uncover clues, and fight your way through each anomaly – each consisting of semi-procedurally generated instances where both the environment, and the undead, are out to kill you. Immediately after the events of Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles, you find yourself trapped within the remains of Arzt Memorial Hospital – the hub to organize your inventory and storage cache, level up your character, or just to take a breather before venturing back out into the chaos. There’s more to discover in the world besides murderous hordes of the undead – find the journals scattered about to learn more about the outbreak and ultimately where to find refuge! Don’t think death can save you – every time you die, you'll awake trapped in this nexus.

    Outbreak: Endless Nightmares focuses on extreme replayability by offering multiple character options – each with their own abilities, upgrade paths and more! Each time you venture into the anomaly, it’ll change and become increasingly difficult as you grow in power. You'll need to think carefully about what weapons, healing items, and other supplies you'll bring along. If you're lucky, you may find storage caches that give you access to your expanded inventory, and offer an opportunity to restock. But it's all on you to search your environment for supplies. If you run out ... your fate is sealed!    … Expand

    The real horror here is the fact that as the sixth instalment of a so called “series”, Outbreak: Endless Nightmares has absolutely no semblance of a functioning video game. This feels like an incomplete gamma build of a hobby project, and I shudder to think what the five prequels would be like.

    Outbreak: Endless Nightmares will undoubtedly have trouble finding its audience. The game’s rogue-like aspect lacks further development with certain levels not being randomly generated enough - the inside elements are the only one not being predefined - and are acting as obstacles to the player’s free will and skill set to progress. Having to discover coins to unlock new levels will be a great source of frustration for many players. The poor sound design and the fixed camera angles that don’t always change when the character is already out of focus keep making the immersion into the horror harder and harder. This also results in a controllability that isn’t convincing enough. Yet, the weapon’s durability, the hidden documents to find for a better understanding of the lore, the skill points or even the two-player option will be able to satisfy the less demanding players… And for many gaming sessions.
