60 of 187 · most liked firstThis is easily one of the worst zombie-themed games I've ever played. Supposedly, developers tried to make something like a squad-based survival simulator. The final product is not a simulator, it's not about surviving (if we're not talking about user surviving through the UI), and squad-based part is just pontless. Every aspect of the game represents raw incompetence of the developers -- game is bugged, UI is ridiculous, gameplay is extremely boring (if you'll last more than 1 hour, like I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombie genre... raised on the love of fear and cliches, which makes you shiver and comfortable at one time. So, this particular example, "Trapped Dead", is a top-down tactical game in real time. It is no shooter, neither action like "Diablo", where all you need is to click faaaster. There you have to advance slowly, be ready to run backward, count every bullet, and killing zombies one-by-one. Flawlessly, if possible, because if they get you only a scratch, you will bleed, and that will attract…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand why everyone is against this game. It is not the game of the year but it is not a bad game either. There is strategy, the story is basic and the map are good. A little buggy but not more than any other game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I love all kinds of Zombie games --and especially the graphics & camera here -- 1. Terrible controls 2. Getting stuck, unable to move, and dying 3. Game crashing (as in: Appcrash) suddenly again & again & again... Sadly, can not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember trying an unfinished beta version of this a long time ago and thinking it had some real potential. Unfortunately they completely blew it and took this out of the oven well before it was ready. With a bit more work this could have been a really awesome zombie game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would have been a really fun game if it weren't for those pesky non-responsive controls! I'm trying to run but it makes me walk. I'm supposed to auto-hit but it switches to manual hitting. I try to save but it magically makes me go down a path that doesn't exist and then I get stuck? All of these technical problems really killed the game for me. I gave it a fair shot but not a single bullet hit a bulls-eye, let alone an actual target. You'll definitely feel helpless and trapped dead with the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great torture device! The american agent told me everything after I forced him to play this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →imagine a good game play that instead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply put....don't play it unless you're a glutton for punishment. Every game mechanic just feels like it's broken.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game. I finish it in a little less than 30 hours. At first I was not sure about getting it, cause, as you can see, it was badly rated. Then i realized that most negative comments came from people that barely played it. So, it was pretty cheap and with cards, so not much to lose in any case. For the way people talks about this you would think is a bug fest that crashes all the time, but that's simply not true. I had zero crashes. Bugs, not exactly, just a few mechanics that could be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand either why all the negative reviews. This never locked up on me, but there's a part when you end the level that you THINK it does. What they forget to tell you is that you have to click the individual characters you want to go to the next level. If you don't clikc them, the game stays where it's at and you assume it's a bug. Great evnireonments, sound, music, gameplay. If you like strategy and zombies, this needs to be in oyur collection. And how is it possible you can go…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Besides the game being good in general terms, it is still a lot of bugs, like the inventory dissappearing. Also, the game is poorly programmed and there is TONS of lagging and latency in the mouse (even if your PC is good). Sorry guys but it needs great improovement (the mechanics are great and the story is good but the bugs ruin it).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the worst game I've ever played. If you load a save, be ready to jump to equip a weapon, because whatever you had equiped when you saved won't be when you come back. And your character will only attack if he feels like it, other times, he'll just stand there and wait for the zombies to kill him. Not to mention the annoying death screen you have to wait through before being allowed to reload the game. Oh, and don't bother with the first aid kits. I don't know what they're supposed to do,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a game that could've been good, had potential,probably a good start, and a great idea. It ruined however by stupid controls (if the developers had looked at the controls or played the game for 5 seconds it wouldve been obvious), which is my biggest problem. the game crashes a lot but eventually it gets going. but i just cant play a game where the controls just make it hard. im ok with hard games, ok games, and easy games. i like games with all different kinds of difficulties. i am not ok…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ive completed this game, and whilst all the negative reviews are correct about the bad controls and interface, if your patient you will find there is a good game underneath all the bad stuff. I enjoyed it, and i persisted in finishing it despite the bugs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IT TOOK ME WHAT FELT LIKE AGES BUT I BEAT YOUR CRAP GAME. I CURSE THE FRIEND THAT GIFTED ME THIS BUT I FINISHED IT OUT OF GRATITUDE. YOU DON'T NEED TO FIGHT THE ZOMBIES, LITERALLY RUN FROM SAVE POINT TO SAVE POINT AND JUST GO FROM THERE, SAVE AMMO FOR THE CHURCH MISSION WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO FIGHT A ZOMBIE VETERAN IS YOUR FRIEND, BEST WITH GUNS. RUN MISSIONS SOLO, ♥♥♥♥ FIGHTING.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Score: 1/5; I do not recommend Trapped Dead PC; Win 10 64-bit; Trapped Dead v1.1.0.0 uncompleted; playing time: 3 hrs Pros: + an interesting beginning of the game at the gas station, promising an engrossing continuation + noteworthy mechanics of presenting the stages of the plot Cons: - controls are rather annoying; you have to use the keyboard to move the camera - there are no settings - no audio or video settings..., nothing... - most importantly, the game won't run; I tried to run it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the artwork for this game, but that's the only good thing it has. The combat is really boring, you right click the zombie and just watch your character attack until the zombie is re-dead. It's buggy... I was killed during a tutorial cutscene. And my inventory went invisible after alt-tabbing out, it only came back after dying/reloading a save.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very clucky controls and slow to respond. Rather be dead than having to play this ever again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slow, annoying cheap game with terrible controls and still not fixed bugs (including that inventory bug)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm tired of seeing this game get such bad press. If you like zombie apocalypse games based on old '70s or '80s films or comics then you'll probably like this one. Mind you, its not perfect; its a bit too short, the controls are a bit wonky, and the voice acting is just terrible, but it satisfies a need for zombie mayhem and the all important retribution against said zombies. Blast one up close with a shotgun with the wheel-chair bound Doctor to see what I mean. It reminded me of a cheese…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is has too many quirks and bugs to be fun to play and this is coming from someone who love almost every co-op game, even the ones most people dislike
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes all over and.. things are just well, not worth money yet. Idea is okay, but needs more gameplay and less bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Three good things about this P.O,S 1. it can be uninstalled 2. People are having a petition to remove it from steam store and maybe ban every one behind it from releasing games on steam forever 3, it taught me to stop this nonsense waste of money and effort "Game collecting" thing 1.5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not very good. It looked promising but it is a slow game that sucked balls.. Graphics are simple, sound simple and the gameplay is tedious slow. If i would have to rate this i would say a 3 out of 10 points. NOT RECOMMENDED!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shake my head. Was this imported from consoles? Who the hell does saved checkpoints. Oh, you got somewhere to go, too bad! You'll need to restart. This one major flaw is why I refuse to play titles like this especially for the PC. I mean, could I have played longer? Sure, but between saved checkpoints and more so dealing with unresponsive characters at time (click to attack - proceeds to stand there) I really didn't care too much more than that. Everything felt... off - UI, controls, graphical…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, I don't understand all the bad reviews. This game is a little tough, but it deffinatly doesn't deserve the hate. This is a pretty good zombie game compared to some of the other "zombie games" out there. it does have it's rough edges and it's not a AAA but I enjoyed the few afternoons I spent on it. I found it graphically satisfying and once I got used to the controls, rather fun. The controls do make it hard to be immersed though, controller support would have been awesome. Also the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a bit buggy, but the reason I wouldn't recommend is its controls. I'll admit I wanted a top down shooter vs the RTS it says it is... but even then, the controls are just more complicated then they need to be. (more game time is spent moving your camera around then actually doing game things) having to click the 'continue' button in the bottom of the screen is annoying during 'cut scenes' Game had potential.. just not worth the hassle of playing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Badly made 3D rendered top down action zombie wave survival game. This is extremely buggy and will simply cause a black screen crash/lockup on many systems. The developers are aware but have made no effort to patch the game or test the game on modern systems. This should be avoided completely.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game gets more abuse than it deserves and I think herein lays great potential for a new take on zombie games. Not that I'm recommending this game on its potential alone. Where there can be filler sections, there are a good smattering of genuinely exciting sections where you have to tactically micromanage your team's position, weaponry and targets to escape the hordes that are rolling inexorably over your position. Cramped indoors or built up urban areas add to this excitement,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Died from first zombie 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An enjoyable zombie romp. I notice that there are a lot of negative reviews citing buggy gameplay and poor controls, but actually if you take your time there is a fun game wrapped within. I personally enjoyed taking the time to plan each level. Managed to save loads of ammo whilst destroying hordes of the dead. I.d give it a 9/10 for cheesy 80s style zoimbie slaying fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I FIND IT SHOCKING THAT PEOPLE GAVE THIS GAME BAD REVIEWS!!! my guess is they are cod fans....LAME! this game is great. it's like a cross breed of rts and hack and slash, but it's not hack and slash, you need to use strategies. you really don't just want to run in gunz blazing or bats swinging....bad idea. it is point and click which is similar to diablo in a way, but once you gain other team members it's similar to command and conquer or starcraft, in a way. the game play consists of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tbh it's not so bad as people say.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm generally a sucker for a zombie survival or zombie topdown game, but, good lord, this game is just dull. One hour in and I had mastered what I have a sneaking suspicion would be the tactic that would beat the game. Step 1: Aggro a pack of zombies. Step 2: Run away until all but one loses interest in you and walk back to their camping spots. Step 3: Kill the one zombie with a baseball bat. Step 4: Repeat. There are better things to do with my life than 10 hours of that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the worst game I've played on steam. Let's try to keep it that way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bugs that make levels impossible to complete, desyncing multiplayer, no multiplayer saving. Rage quit after trying to like it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →XCOM with zombies except it sux
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, this is not a good game. This is A GREAT GAME! This game is AWESOME. (READ IT IF YOU DID NOT LIKE THE GAME... this is SPOILER) I was longing to play a zombie game that has slow moving yet scary zombies, and this gives me that. The environment is great, the difficulty is awesome. It doesn't throw countless zombies at you. The zombies are few, but tackling even two of them together can be dangerous. You got to keep devising plans to isolate each one so that you can kill it before another…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the single player for n hour, i didnt like it so much, i then tried it with a friend and it was a lot better, now if only i could get a four player game going, i am willing to bet that would be a blast. i only have about 4 hours spent with this game, but so far i say that i like it, in so far as you have a zombie killing team.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure why all those with a box of kleenex next to them and barely have a few mins of play judge the game, yeah it sucks in the beginning but find the HEX hack for weapons and ammo and get a few of your friends "if you have any" past the opening section and the game really is cheap fun, I paid a quid for this and that was money well spent.....so, go back to said kleenex tissues and soak up your salty tears after your hissy fit that a child would be proud of and play through the game to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit old. But the game is ok. gl hf:)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Damn is this game annoying! it looked so good in the screen shot but playes so weirdly and slow that it is no fun at all... The character moves increadibly slow, you are often not supposed to run because it alerts the zombies quicker. You can also only run for a very limited time because of lacking stamina. You have a bat that takes ages to reload and is very imprecise, if there is more than one enemy at a time you have to pray you hit the one standing up. Savepoints are also somewhat far…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are no options in the main menu, you have to start a game to see the controls and adjust video and audio settings.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are two things that surprise me about this game. First – it's not really “mostly negative” bad. I mean, come on! People hate it so much that there are even removal petitions, while real scam like GrindZones is still in Steam and nobody cares. What the heck? And there's also another thing – this game is nothing, I repeat, nothing like its description on the store page. They promise it to be like Commandos and Desperados. Surprise-surprise! It's nothing like that. You want something like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, imagine this. You got classic slow zombies, no other real variant. They can't grab, only attack. And they are slow. Shooting practise targets. Now put them into wide open areas. Now put it into tactical game controls instead of something more direct action oriented. Yet instead of adding tactics, it mostly just brings uncomfortable control and bad pathfinding. Now make it so heroes easily gain stamina by walking around zombies, who can't catch up even to walking people, and make them be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →People often wonder what they would do if they could go back in time; where they would go and who would they interact with. Not me. This game has assured that. I would go back with a list. A list of all the ♥♥♥♥ I should never have paid money for. This is at the top.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing 19 min of this oh yeah btw i take everygame lighty so even if the game is bad such as watchdogs 1 i still enjoyed even if it was a bad game ok now on to this game this game was a 7/10 since you know 19 min i dislike the the way the camera works and the moving sometimes doesn't work and things get infront of your camera such as building or trees so i was dodging zombies with ok controls in the hospital and terrible camera the camera get behind a tree i cant see my character and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a tough game to rank. Its an okay/hate game. Gameplay is fun with the controls and all work, but when the controls dont wanna act right, the game gets bad. Concept of the game is done nicely along with the artwork. Single player is ehhh but the game is a lot more fun with coop. Weapons go to guns to melee. Loud noise brings zombies to you. The game starts you off wiht 1 person to control and eventually works your way up to 4 Pros: Steam Trading Cards Coop Loud noise brings zombies…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The interface is aweful and makes the game unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game used to work when i first got it, now it doesn't even want to start playing anymore. the game is interesting but if you cant run it why have it at all. tried every solution from the forum and it still doesn't worrk. Steam sort it out please.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game sucks. In a crap effort to make a 'difficult' game, they simply created a crap interface even without the bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →0/10 Gave me aids.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"This game sucks, but it could totally not suck." 3/10 This game could be much better. In fact, I had some fun with it until it became unplayable due to frame-rate issues. Not sure what that's all about, but if that never happened I would have put some more time into 'Trapped Dead'. The premise is every generic zombie movie you've ever seen, but the game could be decent if the developers fleshed out more of the ideas and if the many bugs were addressed. Simply put, there are just too many…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Idea was good, execution was bad, and the devs too lazy to try and fix so they dropped it like a steaming turd. shame.
