Fucking brilliant game! Fully optimized for low end PCs and you can still see the graphics at a casual level like a charm. Fully integrated for mods, the game supports gamepads AND is a great seller when it comes to a guy who is interested in buying games like this. "Games like this?" - Ever wanted to buy a luxurious, horrific-zombie based FPS that can be turned into a comedy FPS within the click of downloading a few mods? Where you can customize the game completely externally (graphics wise) and internally with (a) (or multiple) custom texture(s), custom sounds, backgrounds, themes, GFX display, etc. Not to mention, if you're looking for a fun fast paced FPS that allows you to play with friends then here is your train stop, and don't expect another train to come for at least 5+ months because this game with-holds endless amounts of fun. Here is your review, from Undeadfellow. I hope it helps, and if you're looking to buy the game then I'd 100% suggest it! Enjoy!
