Zombie games have long been a videogame staple, and with Ed-0: Zombie Uprising developer Lancarse throws its hat into the ring, and ups the ante by making it a rogue-like as well. Combat can be satisfying, and finding scrolls allows you to unlock up to four special moves. Missions are spread across ten floors, where then you must defeat a boss before moving on. In between floors are Torii gates, some of which will heal you and some that will allow you to equip special moves. The story is bare bones, and a poorly implemented hunger mechanic puts a damper on the slashing and hacking of the living dead.
PROS
Good controls
Nice variety in special moves
Combat is satisfying
Plenty to find throughout the levels
CONS
Bare bones story
Poorly implemented hunger mechanic
Repetitive
Limited enemy types
In all, Ed-0: Zombie Uprising is decent enough, but it can become unneccessarily frustrating due to a poorly implemented hunger mechanic (you can die of starvation) and repetitive gameplay. Best to wait for a sale is this has your attention.
