Highrisers vs The Walking Dead: No Man's Land
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
The Walking Dead: No Man's Land
The Walking Dead: No Man's Land is an addictively fun strategy game where you'll get to recruit familiar characters like Rick, Daryl and Michonne, from the hit TV series, The Walking Dead, in addition to many other characters that do not appear on the television show, to assemble a team of the best scavengers and zombie killers. You'll be able to equip and train your survivors so that they can take on increasingly tougher-to-kill zombies.The game also offers a tactical turn-based combat where character positioning, aim and of course, luck play important roles in determining whether your group of survivors will survive the zombie encounter or not. Interestingly, the game even has a PvP aspect where teams of survivors clash in an epic battle over limited resources in the post-apocalyptic world.
If you love The Walking Dead and turn-based strategy games, you'll definitely love The Walking Dead: No Man's Land. Do you have what it takes to keep your survivors alive?
