Nation Red (2009)

Nation Red is a very simple, but fun game. In the core, it is a wave shooter in which you hold out against waves and waves of zombies, increasing in difficulty each round. You got your simple standard zombies and big and fat ones that are though to kill. The variation is simple and blend, but it works.

There are several modes you can play. Survival, Endless and Barricade. All of the modes play almost the same, with some minor differences.

The graphics are nothing special. The framerate and animations however, run very smooth, making the game look fine enough.

The sound is a little generic, but for this type of game, that’s all right.

The controls are fluent and is the games strongest point. Movement and combat is spot on and you are in full control. No cheap deaths by unresponsive controls, just you, who makes the mistake and pay for it.

There is a perk system in which you can improve your stats and skills, giving you a better chance of surviving in the rounds that follow.

You find weapons and powerups throughout the maps and try to stay alive as long as possible. Choose one of the several maps the game offers, and rinse and repeat.

The game is repetitive and it is most of the same, but the many challenges and maps keep it interesting enough.

Normally, I would get a little bored after the tenth time I started a new wave, but the best thing Nation Red offers, is the amount of challenges and achievements you can unlock, keeping the game interesting. For me, this is a great way to keep me playing, and reflect on your hard work and skill.

Other than this, there is not that much to say about Nation Red actually. So in the end, I would surely recommend this game.
