I say this because I do like the story that is here. There is a nice framework for the story in State of Decay, but it never gets too deep into it which I feel was a missed opportunity. The whole world is decimated due to the zombie apocalypse, but there is also the army and other humans you have to watch out for. The story starts off by having you play as a guy called Marcus. This is fairly story focused and that is something I do really like about this game.
So, in that regard, it is great to see a game that is designed with the single player in mind. The original State of Decay was released at a time when many games were forcing multiplayer on people. Survive from the undead as well as the other humans in this exciting zombie game. This is a game that is all about surviving in a world that has been ripped apart by zombies. It is pretty amazing to think that as of this point the first State of Decay game was released over half a decade ago. This does not spoil the game for me, but it is certainly something that may for some people. What may though is how the framerate and the controls can be a little clunky from time to time. That though does not affect the fun factor! First of all, is the presentation, State of Decay even when it was first released was not regarded as a great looking game and it looks even rougher now. These are not game breaking by any means, but they are there. State of Decay is a great game if you like zombie survival games, but you will have to look past a few issues. I love how brutal the melee weapons in State of Decay are, there is just something so satisfying about smacking around a zombie. If you are into upgrading and making weapons better you can do that here. The combat is really fun and there is a nice selection of melee weapons and firearms for you to make use of. They are alerted to noise and if they hear you, you better be ready because they can turn into a swarm really fast. They are more like the zombies from the remake of Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later. These are not your slow shuffling Walking Dead style zombies. I really like the way that State of Decay handles the Zombies. When you go out and come across a building you always think “what if there are some good supplies in there?” But there is a bit of a risk and reward thing going on as usually when there is something good to be had, the undead is not far behind.
That is right, you have to pay attention to characters moods. That is more people to help out, but it is also more mouths to feed and also potentially more people who are going to get moody. For example, if you come across some more survivors, you can help them and bring them home.
Each of which can be upgraded, you need to help other people, manage them, gather supplies and so on.Įach time you venture out into the wild you will come across some kind of choice a choice that you really do now know how it will affect you until you make it. You need to set up homes, bases, outposts and so on. You, of course, want to survive, but to do this you have to make many decisions. State of Decay is the kind of game that has a lot going on. The story is not super in depth, but I think it does enough to keep you going. The area you are in is pretty much devastated thanks to the zombie attacks and you find out that as well as the zombies the army who you think is there to help is not exactly doing what they can to make sure that you survive. The story of the game is that there is a zombie outbreak and you start off by playing as someone called, Marcus, but many other characters come into play. This is very much a single player game and I actually really do like that about the game. One of the things that make State of Decay quite a refreshing experience is the fact that they did not try and force multiplayer on you.
