In the game “Rebuild” the city has been overrun by zombies. Only a handful of people have have managed to create a zombie free zone; it’s relatively protected by a barracades. You orgainize daily tasks which include recruiting survivors, scavenging for food, and reclaiming land. The city blocks are divided into different categories that increase food, morale, living quarters, defense, and technology. You are placed smack dab in the middle of the city, and since each map is random, no two cities are alike. There are several ways of winning the game (besides clearing all the tiles out) – and they include reclaiming city hall to create a new parliament, reclaiming an evil cemetery to seal a portal, or reclaiming three labradories to find a find a cure.
All the essential staples for a quick game are here. It takes less than a minute to send out all the needed commands for a single day, and the save feature makes it easy to pick up where you. What I really liked about it is the whole new spin on zombie survivor genre. For the most part it’s also well balanced, and while I’ve had trouble getting to an essential block, I’m able to endure in normal difficulty.
The only real bone that I have to pick with it is the learning curve between “Normal” and “Hard”. While there is a something of a balance in challanges with in the former, the latter is unforgiving in attacks, and this is taking into account that there are two even more difficult levels to choose from (“Harder” and “Nightmare”). The other (more forgiveable) issue is much like “Flight”, you can only go to the main menu if you reload the page. This makes it tedious if you want to start all over again.
In short it’s a fun little game for the zombie lovers who want to get some game on during their break. If you’re looking to get the taste of Valentine’s Day out of your mouth you could do a lot worse. To check it out click here.
