DIYGamer: "Via press release we receive word that the first part of John Way’s top-down zombie survival RPG I Shall Remain is now available to download for free. The prologue is available for all on IndieDB, weighing in at just under a gig. Originally a Kickstarter effort that fell short of its goal, the lack of funding didn’t deter the Way’s team from going forward with the project, and now we have the first of those fruits with supposedly more in the works. Good on them I say.
I Shall Remain has you controlling a memory-impaired Marine who has awoken in a city infected. As you start to remember your past and more importantly your training, survivors will turn to you to organize and lead a last stand against the overwhelming undead horde closing in. Traverse the city, organize teams and equip them to fight, mow down throngs of zombies with guns, explosives, and vehicles. Execute a solid plan intelligently to give yourself and your peers a chance to make it out alive."
The sixth major update for I Shall Remain is here.

"For a top down zombie survival game, I Shall Remain shows great potential. The story is enjoyable, enemies are varied and require a different approach and the music is just great. However, there’s still quite some work to be done. Animations are clunky, bugs like enemies that are stuck on the map need to be looked at and graphic wise, the game could use an upgrade. My advice: keep your eyes peeled for updates before jumping in just yet."
Gale writes - "In the last couple of years, the zombie survival genre has taken over the place of the most saturated sub-genre currently on market. The throne that was held by the modern shooter games up to that point. By now, we’ve gotten the likes of DayZ, Dead Island, State Of Decay and many, many more. Not to mention all the clones that popped up on Steam after the „original“ games did. Now, I’m not the one to hate on zombies. I’m happy to play whatever the developers churn out, as long as it’s worth my time and money. I’m one of those who like to give every game a chance to redeem itself, regardless of its disposition, theme or possible political commentary that might or might not be pictured in some of its textures. Taking this positive outlook on things, I’ve gotten my paws on one of the ‘newer’ zombie survival games – I Shall Remain."
