"Metal Dead doesn’t seek to reinvent the adventure game genre, and it doesn’t need to. It’s ridiculous fun. Following avid metal head, Malcolm, the player walks, quips, and collects their way through a hospital on the verge of being overrun by hordes of zombies." - Author

Let's face it, there's no shortage of zombie apocalypse games. The genre is as overdone as that pumpkin pie sitting in the oven right now. That said, don't let Metal Dead's point & click zombie adventure sour you from giving it a play-through just because 'it's another damn zombie game'. As casual as the experience is, Walk Thru Walls Studios has done a fantastic job creating a humorous story of zombie survival that's as fun to play as it is sketchily scribbled and sadistically hilarious."
Jeff of Just Press Start writes:
"Clearly, the “death” of point and click adventures has been reported prematurely. WadjetEye, Telltale, and others have been proving otherwise for years now. While there is still a dearth of true AAA adventure game publishers, independents have ensured that the genre once again has a solid footing, if even for a more niche audience."
It sounds like a typical zombie scenario, but it isn’t. Metal Dead is a brilliantly written, funny and entertaining game from start to finish. Dialog is top-notch and you will find yourself laughing out loud (or LOL-ing) at least 10 times.
