GIZORAMA - There has been an over saturation of zombie games over the past few years. For every same old play on the genre, a developer like Arcen Games comes along and throws a new twist. Shattered Haven is a game about family in the form of a top down action puzzle game. Supernatural horror meets old school style in Shattered Haven with hordes of Grays, Arcen’s take on Zombies.
Arcen Games: "Skyward Collapse and Shattered Haven have both gotten official linux support this week, but that’s not all that’s been going on."
Hardcore Gamer: The bare minimum gets you AI War: Fleet Command and five DLC packs, A Valley Without Wind 1 and 2, and Tidalis - a fun puzzler. Spending $5.80 gets you Shattered Haven and Skyward Collapse and its DLC. Everything in the bundle unlocks on Steam and soundtracks for everything are included too.
When you first start Shattered Haven, it gives the impression that it will be a Legend of Zelda like adventure game… with zombies! The overworld and various tools/weapons you find definitely have that vibe. Then about ten minutes in, the game introduces “levels.” That is, you can’t pass certain roadblocks in the overworld until you hunt down and beat a certain number of portals/levels. And that’s where Shattered Haven struggles to be fun.
