MeTime 'Gaming on a Budget' 3 - Braaaaaaaaains edition.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the MeTimeGifts 'Gaming on a Budget' Halloween special! (Yes I know I'm a tad late.)

Today we shall be looking at some titles focusing on our greatest of horror friends the Living Dead.

Since our zombie pals are rotting every second we waste let's get right to it shall we?

1. Zombie Bites.
    Made by: Hairy Games.

All we wanna do is eat your brains.

 

 

 

 

 

This beautiful 8-bit game hold one simple idea... you are a zombie... a hungry hungry zombie.

And you want to eat things.

You run and jump around in a platformer style manner eating everyone you come across, once you eat a victim they also rise as a zombie, and here is where it gets difficult.

 There is always a minimum number of humans on the screen but theres a catch, the number of zombies you make dosent have a cap and they are trying to eat delicous brains too.

 So as the zombie to human ratio rises to becomes harder and harder to find food and stop yourself starving death.

2.  Rebuild 1 and 2.
      Made by TwoTowerGames.com


We've all been there in books/games/movies/music... It's the end of the world, and you are surrounded by flesh hungry living dead, It's usually a hopeless scenario but what if it wasn't?

In the 'Rebuild' games you are tasked with pushing the undead menace back and rebuilding civilization.
A daunting task for sure but not an impossible one.

The graphics are minimal but nice to look at and serve their purpose.

The gameplay of 'Rebuild' is very much like SimCity.
You start out with a small area of land usually a police station as a town hall, a few houses, and a farm or two to generate food.

As the game progresses you will send out survivors to gather food, take territories and kill zombies.

The game can be won in 1 of 4 ways.

1: Take every location on the map.
2: Find a Laboratory and research a cure (good choice if you have a lot of smart survivors)
3: Find the old town hall and establish a new government (Good if you have got a lot of charismatic survivors)
4: Find the cursed graveyard and destroy it (Good if you have got a lot of soldiers)

As you play, more and more zombies will amass and siege your settlement, you need to make sure you have plenty of survivors watching the walls or they may break through, taking zones back, killing survivors and lowering morale.

I could ramble about this game for hours, but the best way to see how great it is, is to play it yourself.
