Drew Leachman writes: I was asked to review Rock Zombie. I had no idea what Rock Zombie was, but as I say in many of my reviews, I’m willing to give anything the old college try. I booted it up and immediately knew what I was in for. Right away the lifeless, Second Life-looking characters mixed with the simplistic game design was a dead giveaway – this was going to be either so bad it’s good, or just plain bad. Sadly, there is little to no good I can tell you that.
ThisGenGaming says "At first glance, Rock Zombie looks like a cheesy side-scrolling beat em’ up game with a minimal story. You would be correct! This is exactly what Rock Zombie is. A horde of zombies invades the rock concert of an all-women band and tries to eat their brains. Your goal is to kill all of the zombies, this in turn completes the levels and allows you to progress."
Indie developer Quaternion tries to breathe new life into the classic side-scrolling beat 'em up genre with Rock Zombie, but sadly it falls rather flat.
Sure it's simple. It's indie. But Imnhaving fun with it. Worth 6.25 Only real gripe is the comic strip scenes are just in game screenshots with a bad filter over them
Retro rip-off.
