Samurai vs Zombies Defense

It's a great game that is a mix of action side scroller, hack and slash, and tower defense genres. The game is simple enough to understand and gives you new enemies to battle very frequent so you won't be bored with your pray any time soon. Warning, the game does start a bit slow and upgrades will therefore be difficult to achieve before the first 5 to 10 waves. After that point though you will be fine as long as you take advantage of all the cool boosts and power ups offered. Very casual gamers and gamers who don't like to strategize will find some diffculty further on in the game however. The game runs great on my mac even when I have a mess of programs running in the background. I haven't once met any kind of lag or crash as of now and I beat all 50 waves on both modes. My only issue is there is no way to control the volume. It is also a full screen game so you can't switch between applications or desktops. Some people are complaining that the game focuses on you having to buy coins and diamonds - that is completely wrong. The beginning of the game is slow and making money or gems will take a while, but it will speed up exceptionally as you go along. It just requires you to play through the game and becoming stronger. You won't even need all the gem purchases to finish the game. Just don't expect the game to hand you a silver platter with all the goodies at the beginning - no game will ever do that for you anyway.

This game is a lot of fun and very addicting. The controls are simple enough for anyone to just jump right in and not ask for help, but it can get slightly annoying in the later levels. The power ups and warriors that you can get are very creative and are good to make strategic combination, but when playing the game you will encounter enemys that you can not get for both sides and some enemys are over powered even if you can get them in game. As for the game play it is very smooth and sometimes fast paced and almost nothing to complain about there. All the creators have to do is fix a few problems/annoyances for this game to be better, like stop making arrows act like homing missiles I have found myself dying one to many time because of it, add more levels, add more warriors that we can summon, and possibly add a co-op/vs mode so we can play with freinds or strangers.

Early on it feels like a breeze, but its difficulty does pickup notably. I am currently hitting a wall in which I need gems to progress, but they don't drop often enough for me to play without paying. I wish there were mini-games or sidequest activities where I could gather gems wihout paying for them. Also, I have noticed that the price for gems seems markedly high compared to other freemium games, especially if you're interested in the booster packs which are very costly. The zombie sister game--which is unlocked early on--is incredibly hard compared to the primary game, and lack the bonus levels which provide ample item drops. I would like to play more, but know that without dropping $20 or more, I probably have no more than a week left of occasional play.

I enjoy this game but there a few things that I wish were different. The game constantly reminds you that you can buy some of the items in the game for real money. Although buying the items with real money may be helpful, it is not necessary and is in some way an easy way out to beat the game. Additionally, I don't like how they make it so hard for the player to come across items like gems, which is just another way to presure the player into buying the item. I also dont like how I can't adjust the volume (i.e. mute the sound effects or music or just turn them down) or the fact that I HAVE to play the game in full screen mode. It is very difficult to close the game and it would be easier if I wasn't forced to play it in full screen mode.

This game is okay so far. I'm reserving complete judgement until I find out how they're going to make money off me. I don't seem to have too many problems winning the things I need to upgrade my stuff, but it IS possible to buy these items if you feel the need. Most often these games allow you to reach a certain point before you HAVE to spend money (to pass a level, gain an item, . . . etc.) and I haven't reached that point yet (I'm on level 21 of the humans, and 12 on the zombie portion). Having said all that, the gameplay is engaging and does require a modicum of strategy. I wholly recommend this game for it originality, cool graphics and fun content.
