Hordes of zombies, bats, mutantsmRestless Night is an authentically retro horde slaying experience that would be right at home in an arcade. Hordes of zombies, bats, mutantsm and other monstrosities relentlessly pursue the player in a wave-based frenzy until the stage is cleared. With tons of power-ups and items to keep the chaos manageable. Restless Night is old-school fun. Restless Night is pretty straightforward. Survive! Each level throws an increasingly aggressive number of waves at the player, with each wave requiring certain amounts of enemies to be slaughtered and a specific number of waves to be defeated in order to complete the said level. New enemies are introduced at a steady pace but most can be defeated with only a few shots. There are a variety of power-ups that spawn for a short time that can make things easier, just like Smash TV from years gone by. Armed with a pistol by default there are shotguns, assault rifles and laser rifles that can be picked up which bring faster and greater spreading firepower to the fight. As well as new weapons there are bombs that will kill all enemies on screen and health pick-ups, speed boosts, and the wonderful shields. Staying still is not recommended, rather it’s in your interest to keep mobile at all times, running across the battlefield to collect power-ups while continuously shooting. There’s no ammo count or reloading required you can shoot endlessly, fitting considering the enemies often feel as though they almost never end at times. Maximizing the power-ups available, constantly moving, and endlessly shooting will pave your way to success. Restless Night isn't a particularly deep experience but it's certainly an enjoyably addictive one that brings a nostalgic flavor to it with the retro audio-visual design. The Arena mode in particular is fun to see how long you can survive the increasing chaos. This is one of the recent ChiliDog Interactive games I can really stand behind as a fan of the genre. I strongly suggest fans head to the Xbox digital store and pick this one up newcomers are also encouraged as ChilliDog’s price of admission is always fair, so what are yo waiting for? Give this one a go today!… Expand
