Even though the rest of the game feels like a regurgitation of the Dead Trigger success, the looks are dazzling. Unkilled is spectacular, I have to give the developers the credit they deserve. At the same time, you need to read through if you wish to keep up with the story. What did not inspire me is the lack of voiceover, or any cutscenes except for the ending scenes in some of the missions, but the text bubbles aren’t too many. Aw… do they still dress to kill after the apocalypse?
Oh, and it’s zombocalypse in N.Y., with the government still relatively functional. Sometimes you’d encounter new characters, other times you’d get a news broadcast about some Korean general invading the U.S. My heart sunk when I saw that big fat boss drag my buddy into the subway, so I felt motivated to keep playing to find him, and thankfully the game does not keep you in the fog for too long. There is a story in Unkilled, and it’s nicely written and evolves the way to keep you interested. They also seem a tad harder than the story missions. The first chapter is introductory and gives you the heads up about the ammo management and controls, but later on you unlock raids, which are special side-missions that supposedly grant you more XP and more money for completing them. So, there you go – one to 3 minute missions wherever you go. Ideally, you get the three stars per mission, and as far as I could see, every mission grants you a star for completing it in under X time, which is usually measured in 1 minute and X seconds. All of them come with a set of objectives that, when completed, grant you a star when the mission ends. There are over 300 of them, divided by chapters of sorts. The term bite-sized is perfect for Unkilled’s take on its missions. The system makes the game accessible for the newbies and those who never get to become hardcore zombie slayers, but still don’t mind indulging in a thoughtless fun like this. I, for one, never have enough time to jump between moving, aiming and firing in other games when it’s three separate buttons, So, I absolutely love the controls in Unkilled. Also, it is pretty comfy to have your weapon fire automatically when the zombies are in range. This way, the screen does not get cluttered with the abundance of silly buttons my clumsy fingers tap when needed and not. The fire feature is set to autofire by default, and it feels right.
UNKILLED ITUNES SKIN
It feels like second skin to move, turn your head around and aim – all simultaneously. On your left, there is the movement joystick. Next up in line is the touch controls that work surprisingly flawless. First of all, it features external controls support, so if you have some – use it, especially the Tegra crowd. The gameplay is fun in its entirety, and Unkilled gets many things right with its control system.
UNKILLED ITUNES UPGRADE
Get your reward, upgrade your weapons, go on a raid, repeat the above. It’s classic – choose your weapons, enter a mission, kill the zombies, save a survivor, or a soldier, or a friend, or hack some device, whatever. Moreover, there are some things that might seriously hinder your experience, but let us take its virtues and vice one by one. Unkilled is just that – a great-looking, bite-sized FPS with nice controls, fun gameplay, but rather typical for its genre. If you expect something new, something groundbreaking and benchmark setting, something utterly new and fresh – nah.
Indeed, the similarities are abound and depending on your expectations it is either a good or a bad thing. Undead, unkilled, or undied, the new game is a younger sibling of the DT. That way, Dead Trigger 3: Unkilled would have been a nice title, but Unkilled by itself is somewhat pretentious, overused and misleading.
There seems to be an almost unanimous opinion among the gamers Unkilled should have been named Dead Trigger 3.
