Queue zombie game number seven million, three hundred and sixty-five thousand, nine hundred and twenty-two. Usually, the zombie games I review include some sort of special feature or tactic that draws the player in. “Nation Red” however, is just a straight up slaughter fest. A player will be controlling a character with the sole intent on staying alive and mowing down zombies in an arena-like setting. It may appeal to some, but even with the perk mechanic (which resets with every new game), I found it to be repetitive after about five minutes of play time. Then again, I picked up this game for about a dollar during a Steam sale. Overall, I think it’s great for some fast and mindless zombie killing (especially when playing with friends), but it ceases to be anything more than that.
Rather than write a whole article on the subject, I linked a quick video or two below that outlines the game and gives you a look at how it plays. Enjoy!
