Got Dead State on Early Access, and I'm pretty impressed. Combat is decent enough, animations and graphics are a bit wonky but what can you expect when an indy team decideds to go for 3d, and it defiantly has the proper zombie apocalypse feel that most zombie games excluding Project Zomboid and Telltale Walking Dead seem to lack.. By which I mean you actually are afraid of the zombies, and humans are completely terrifying.
Gonna tell a little story about my first encounter with raiders. Me ( a doctor with a few points in mele), a cop, and a female truck driver have left the safe house after being told by the other doctor (actually a vetrinarian, and the trucker's daughter, she serves as the primary medic if you aren't medically trained) that we are dangerously low on antibiotics, and one of the other survivors (who is still unconscious at this point in the game) desperately needs them. On the way there we get a random encounter with some raiders at a camp, we pick them off easily, but other than 3.5 gallons of gas (we need 4 to run the generator for a day), they didn't have anything good. We have mostly 3/4 health, except the cop is around 1/2.
But finally we arrive at the pharmacy. We slowly work our way around, picking off the zombies one at a time. It should be noted that our weapons are baseball bats for me and the trucker, and the cop has a POS night stick and a service revolver with 2 bullets. We enter the pharmacy, and start going through the shelves. Didn't seem to be hit too hard, as we get quite a haul. but as we go for the last selectable shelf, the game switches to turn based mode. Around the corner from a shelf comes a bandit, who thanks to the angle we triggered her, has nearly all of her action points after approaching us.
Her first move is to fire two bullets into the cop, who is dropped instantly. He's not dead, but he's bleeding out, so he needs to be bandaged by yours truly quickly. We run up to her with melee weapons, and I even get a single hit in before it's her turn. Her first move? Execute the cop. Her second bullet then strikes me, leaving me with a sliver of health. Then a pair of zombies approach us from behind. I have me and the trucker just leg it, and the zombies start swarming the looter, and she uses her last bullets on them. We come back, bash everyone's skulls in, and collect the rest of the pills and whatnot, but leave behind the only guy who knows how to use a damn gun, since his brains are currently on vacation from his skull.
