It’s hard to remember how I ended up in Pine City. Everything before the “Crash” seems like someone else’s life. People call it the “Crash” because they’re afraid of what it really is. Like just saying the words “zombie invasion” makes it real. Well, it is real. I’m scared too, but we need to face facts here.

It’s been at least a month, but again, it gets hard to remember. I spent some time in a department store with some good people, but they’re all dead now. When the zombie hoard broke through our barriers, I was the only one to escape. I holed up in the Pine City gun shop. Seemed pretty safe. That’s where I met Asland. He broke through my barricade looking for supplies. He was putting a force together to escape the city and he needed my help. I agreed.

We searched the city for supplies during the day and held off the zombies at night. I quickly learned how to shoot, although I wasn’t as quick or as accurate as Asland. We found another survivor who was killed the very same night during our stand. Asland didn’t even blink, he just kept shooting. So did I. We didn’t even know his name. I started wondering who were the real monsters.

One night, the zombies broke our barricade down and I ran for it, again. I left Asland there to fight alone. I’ll never know if he made it, but I’m fine with that. He never knew my name either.

Asland is a game about shooting zombies, searching buildings, shooting zombies, repairing barricades and shooting zombies. You can find new guns, survivors who help you in your fight, and traps that you can place on the field. You can outfit your survivors with the new guns that you find or keep them for yourself. The ideas here are great.

That being said, Asland is hard. I’m not sure if the controls are unresponsive or I’m just really awful at killing the undead. Perhaps it’s a mix of the two. That hasn’t stopped me from trying and enjoying the process.

If you couldn’t tell, I love the zombie theme. It seems to be “done to death” recently (sorry…) but my thirst for zombies is unquenchable. Keep it up Colorme(Beijing)Info Tech Co.,Ltd.
