The idea is here. A top down RTS that limits its size so that it still manages to feel close the ground and sparse like an apocalypse should. You control small pockets of survivors in the zombie apocolypse. You live out your neighorhood looting fantasies by sending small squads to loot the local supermarket, or the next street of the suburbs as you and your growing group of folks scour what remains.
And that's pretty much it, unfortunately. Once you've looted one house and defended your base from one group of zombies, you've essentially played the entire game. Yeah, there's some interesting bells and whistles going on - its fun to put your area in via a google maps style interface and watch the game give you a gray aproximation of your neighborhood to fight zombies in. But ultimately I think IFZ feels like its Early Acces tag on Steam. Give it some time, but keep it on your wishlist.
