    What a great premise for a game. The tutorial does a great job of portraying about 25% of whats actually going on, completing that is fine. Moving onto the first actual playthrough campaign and the execution is just horrible. I had maintenance workers running out of stamina before being able to actually reach where they were going to escavate, medical staff diagnosing one or two patients in about 30 seconds and then spending the next 5 minutes on break and then going off for a nap and policemen…

    TLDR: Don't Buy. This isn't a full game worthy of your time. I want this game to work. I really do. The premise is amazing. It looks good... the problem is this game just DOESNT F***ing Work. Tutorial is not a real tutorial, its a story set up that teaches you BARE MINIMUM. Move to the campaign and its just... Atrocious. Workers "Stamina" is a joke as simply walking from top of a building to street level will burn half of it. So your rooms will be at stand-still more than actually producing…

    Early access despite it not being listed as such. Don't buy it. Wait a while. Too many bugs and weird things to count. I'm struggling to find anything positive about this game. Here's just a sample of problems I've ran into in just 1 hour: -Cannot change language after the first time you start the game. If you accidentally click on the wrong one you're screwed. -Extremely unpolished. This should be listed as early access. There is no way this can be considered a finished product.a -Animations…

    at its current state its very confusing at times. As well as feeling like its in early access the tutorial doesn't really show you how to manage your employes. the black market requires your ♥♥♥♥ AI employes to be currently in its building for the black market option to be shown. It would be better that you could still see the option but it would queue orders. when you have high enough suspicion cops will spawn and just shoot your employes in the open on the street without any warning, and…

    THE DEVS JUST UPDATED TO ADDRESS THE COMPLAINTS I think this game is really great. Please keep the update in mind when viewing reviews older than March 28 2024 as it is still valid that they were unhappy but you gotta love to see the devs actually listen.

    This is a promising game which has several really good strengths. The premise is good, music and sound spot on and the gameplay is fun. However it suffers from several bugs and for me the game crashes pretty much every 10 minutes. While you do not lose much progress - it is very annoying and not very predictable. It seems to get more unstable the further into the mission you are and gets close to unplayable around the time you need to pay the third fee. A couple of quality life things also…

    Too many issues to list. Every crash bugs half your playthrough to where rooms do not net you any more money unless you sell and rebuild them. Also makes your perks void that you enabled at beginning of playthrough. Had the explosion bug to where rooms were constantly exploding, popping the voice line every 10 seconds. Staff sometimes gets stuck in Drone assembly, doing nothing until you catch it. Alot of micromanagement you have to do, staff gets ill and zombifies at some point. But you…

    This game has gotten a lot of hate, some of it deserved, some of it not. So let’s get the hate out of the way. Con: There is not enough content in the game. You have a game where you’re running a Resident Evil bio-company and you have 5 research trees, With Consumer and Equipment being the most fleshed out, Bioweapons only having 3 options, Infantry and Plant research only having a single option. Disregarding research you don’t have enough content in general, no public relations to help with…

    I mean the game is just not finished. It lacks most basic RTS or 4x necesities, like selecting multiple people or just simply giving them orders to HOLD POSITION. You cannot do either. So when you try to raid a place, security keeps going pack into patrol mode. and you constantly have to tell each and every one of them to stay. And you cannot select multiple so yeah. You gotta select each ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ one. You also cant really manage when staff works. Your corporation is proud of being open 24/7…

    I only heard of this game because of Splattercat on Youtube. Oh my god! I want to like this game so much, but it is so bad! During an hour, it broke once, crashed once, and a character's animations broke. And the worst thing is that reloading the same didn't fix those issues. A research lab was scheduled for demolition (I had just learned that I actually needed more doctors than the tutorial and the recommended scenario recommended) and it never went through. I couldn't do anything with the…

    The constant ramping up of costs to the franchise, forcing a game over or restart after the 2nd or 3rd week of in game play just does not sit well with me. there is rouge like then there is pointless. This is pointless, I’ve made it the 5th week a few times and that was frantic and not enjoyable. Feels like just when you get into the groove of things you get shut down. Not for me.

    Undead Inc. is, for better or for worse, symptomatic of a certain stripe of Tycoon games. There's not a whole lot of player freedom on offer, the early goings-on for any new Endswell Medical franchise you set up are identical from game to game, right down to optimal room placements, and the only viable strategy puts a timer on your progress. You're free to stick to above-board consultation and Direct-Consumer Sales plans, but you'll only earn a pittance from legitimate avenues. The Black Market…

    The Good: - the soundtrack slaps, - the premise is interesting, - the foundational gameplay loop feels pretty solid, along with a decent number of random/reactive events which should keep things feeling fresh for a long while. - Game is quite stable (at least for me) and UI/HUD nav is fluid and responsive. The Bad: - if feels like the tutorial covers the absolute minimum basics of the gameplay loop and not a whole lot more. - Some important details can be easily lost, and more important…

    Wanted to give it a try because it looked cool despite the negative review, but after playing through the tutorials and trying two separate games, yeah nah. The game isn't balanced well at all, and it definitely doesn't feel like there's any buildup or tiering. One of the very first things you research turns people into zombies (A flu medication) almost all of the starter stuff can zombify stuff in the first two minutes of the game. You have to build up a LOT of money at the start or…

    I really want to like this game (cool ideas to like), but there are just fundamental problems with the game that need fixing, the biggest one is staffing. Anyone who's actually worked any kind of job knows that if you need something staffed, you hire more staff to cover those who are taking a break, and you simply can't do that here without VERY VERY tedious micromanaging that will give you zero signal that someone is on break, so you have to watch multiple buildings over a large map like a…

    There's a lot of things wrong with this game, but I think it's because the game was rushed out before it could be properly polished. As in, I don't think there's an issue with the core game design, things just need tweaking and some QoL. In no particular order: Put the language selection in the options, rather than prompting the player every time they launch the game. The narrator in the menu (whenever you open the Options menu the narrator says "Options" and stuff like that), I feel like I…

    So this game isn't perfect. But it's good enough. IMO It has a cool idea, and for the most part it does a great job of bringing that idea into reality. You are playing a simulator game. A side scrolling simulator. Where you are the director of a branch of a big time pharma company. You need to make a certain amount of profits to pay your investors and if you don't have it you're in big trouble. To do that you need to make some less than ethical decisions. Creating super viruses, and selling…

    Game does not seem finished in it's current state at all. More so like a proof of conception or early access. Has little polish and feels a bit like an assist flip at times. With staff, zombies and enemies having very basic animations, actions and look. I love the idea and happy I funded it but hope that it improves drastically. Also, why the sweet Christ is the receptionist an AI. Also Day one DLC is not a good look. Wait a few months/years and see if it has improved before you buy.

    This game looks good and the whole idea is great indeed! But the gameplay in this state doesn’t work. The employes use more time to run from A to B and use all their stamina for not work-related stuff. The time for eating in the cafeteria is too long and many problems more. Be patient and this will be a good game! But in this state, I can’t recommend it.

    This game was released unfinished and seems to have been abandoned not long after. The idea of it is solid, it could have been good with some reworking, but they never did that reworking.

    Starcraft Silver League player here, this game is surprisingly challenging, subtle, and complex for a first time player. Definitely a bit more challenging than something like fallout shelter.

The downside is that the game doesn't tell you what anything is and the tutorial is very basic which is what I seem to get from the negative reviews.

This is clearly a game that was developed for mobile but realized too late that apple or googleplay would have kept 97% of their profits. There is a stamina and an exhaustion stat on your workers.

    as others have said this game isn't there yet. the micromanagement required is one thing, but the ui is also irritatingly lacking in feedback; even when you're trying to corral units to do what you want it is difficult to tell if the order has been accepted. the roguelike element could be fun if the initial base creation wasn't so tedious.

    True enough to the other reviews, the game is still quite unstable. The premise is good, and the tutorial story is a great hook as well as introduction to the game. The main issues I have are some graphic elements, such as characters sliding along and clipping through elements rather than walking/running, as well as the research trees do not feel fleshed out at all. There isn't much directional freedom in them, leading to many games feeling very much the same, just in a different location. I…
