So close and yet so far...

Don't get me wrong, Dead State is an entertaining game if you're into the Zombie genre and like exploration, base building, and tactical combat. However, as someone who likes all those things it is quite frustrating to see how those features were all implemented pretty halfhearted and are riddled with bugs. So what exactly is wrong with the game? Well, for example it doesn't take very long to fully upgrade your base and then you have nothing left to do halfway through the game, while many of your survivors sit around in the base and do nothing except eat your food and come to you with their (sometimes stupid) problems. The tactical combat is pretty basic. There's not really any cover system, there's no crouching or stealth, and all you have to do is abuse the somewhat stupid AI and keep an eye on your action points. Jagged Alliance or X-Com did a much better job in that regard. Exploration - while rewarding at the beginning - becomes a chore halfway through the game when you already have all the best armors and weapons, and have more food, fuel, and antibiotics than you could possibly need. And then there's bugs. Quite a few actually. Not really what I would expect from a game that has been already released for that long. If you can look past all of those mentioned issues, then Dead State can be a fix for your Zombie/post-apocalyptic game addiction. If not, then you might want to skip this one. Which is a shame really, because it could have been a truly great game with some more time, effort, and polishing.

Good game, a few flaws

This is a solid game. There are mainly two flaws IMO. First, you only control 4 characters in combat. I don't know why this has turned into such a trend (D:OS, KotC, TToN, Blackguards, SRR), but it needs to stop! 6 characters is the ideal number for player-controlled parties. You can't customize you characters to the same degree if there are only 4 of them. Having 6 characters used to be the standard for CRPGs. I don't know this has changed! (Though I suppose it's better than JRPGs that limit you to 3 characters...) Secondly, the GUI is not that great. You can't see your characters' attributes from within the shelter. The characters have to be in your party, and you need to be traveling in order to see the stats. Also, in the shelter, you can only see your characters' skills from the job board -- not when outfitting them with gear. So you have to remember which characters are best in combat, and whether their skill in ranged combat is higher than melee. Lastly, when in the shelter, you can't see how much HP your characters have until you've built the infirmary. This is not well-designed IMO. Otherwise the game is really great! Since I played the Reanimated version, the bugs must all have been squashed. (The game only crashed once.) So, that's a big plus!

So much potential...

I too love the concept, the feel, the take on the zombie apocalypse and spent many hours on this game. But after it all I'm left with a bitter sweet feel. Looking back, it could have been so much more! Starting with the basics, the bugs nearly drove me away. Frankly they were obvious and legion and took away from the enjoyment. Some led me to redo things. Others led me to believe I needed to focus on one side of development. The mechanics could be better - inventory management was a drag, for example, and there are many games on GOG that have gone before this and solved it. Going deeper and without spoiling, some parts were very slap-dash, like the game needed to be wrapped up. Overall, and with benefit of hindsight, I do not think we should reward publishers who put out games that have obvious problems like this one does. I don't regret it but would not recommend it. The overall idea however is very promising, I'd love to see a more polished attempt at it by a developer willing to put more heft into it.

Bad first impression

This game feels like it's still early access. Significant amount of bugs riddles this game.
