In the meantime, if you need to have some zombie head bashing fun, with light RPG and survival elements, then this is the game you need to play.

Since it delivers in its niche, sticks to its roots, and is enjoyable and easy to revisit, I give this game a low-green 8, which is excellent! I await to see if they'll make an SoD2.

I find it easy to go back to, the gameplay is simple and with some imagination, might feel a bit like a Simms game except with zombies, and you might even get attached to a character. Not everybody is going to like this game, but it is a niche game that delivers strongly in it's niche. Remember I said the characters were overpowered? Well, the Breakdown xpac can reset the map at a higher difficulty level at your discretion. And also, if you get bored of the vanilla game, there 2 expansions. A bit overpowered survivor characters, but that's what it was all about. Plus you can bash zombie heads apart with a knee-butt, or bash their heads apart by palming their skull and slamming it into the ground. The characters are a bit too powerful for true realism, as one character can often kill dozens of zombies alone during a mission, but that cheesy lack of realism was funny. Cracking zombie heads, having to scavenge resources, having control over numerous characters with different strengths and weaknesses, it's fun. The game isn't deep or anything, and doesn't have a long vanilla storyline, but it delivers what it is, very well. Fun! A friend recommended this game to me, and at first I was hesitant, but it was on sale on Steam, and I hadn't really played a zombie game Fun!
