60 of 174 · most liked firstI would recommend against purchasing this game. I am a long time player of Soldak games. I put a LOT of hours into Din's Curse and Depths of Peril. While my review is being posted with less than 20 hours in Zombasite, if you were to add up my hours in Din's Curse and Depths of Peril, games from which Zombasite evolved so clearly that a lot of the classes and skills are virtually identical, it would be in the hundreds. Then I lost track of Soldak for a while. When I checked up on them I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know it is a great game when six hours fly by and you want so much more and there is so much more. The more I play the more I like, my clan is starting to grow in power and I am starting to explore more and getting to know the game. This game seems to take the best parts of Dins Curse, Depths of Peril, and Drox Operative and mash it all up into one fantastic game. I love the character progression so much, you can mix it up anyway you want. I will be playing this much much more. It is in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enter the game with one of the worst titles in the history of gaming at a time when people are inundated with zombie titles. A crying shame because Zombasite is far more than it would appear to be at first glance. Soldak have been creating mechanically deep arpgs for quite some time now, you may know them from Depths of Peril, Din’s Curse, or Drox Operative. Let me put it this way: back when Torchlight 1 came out, Din’s Curse also emerged. I spent, at most, 8 hours with Torchlight and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The name sucks, and the graphics are not great. I don't care. Zombasite is one of my favorite games of 2015/2016, just like Drox Operative (Soldak's previous game) was one of my favorite games of 2012. I like how there are so many factions that can be fighting or allying with each other. I like how party members have personality traits that affect their interaction with other party members or clan members. I like how elite monsters start sending out scouts and raiding as they get stronger…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far.. I'm not convinced. Graphics have never been a feature of Soldak games but its about time they advanced. The whole quests / rep system / npc system was way ahead of the pack but again I dont see that it had advanced. I bought into this on the strength of the last games - I expected more than what appears to be the same character classes from Dins Curse with the same skills / limitations . Perhaps a lack of imagination on my part but I would have liked to seen more modern character…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With heavy heart I can't recommend this game. I love Soldak games but this didn't do it for me. I really expected more than just 1 new class over din's curse but thats it. I appreciate the drox operative quest system being ported over and such but this really doesn't feel like a fresh step up for Soldak. Very minor reasons to get this over Din's curse or Drox operative and for someone whos played both to death this didn't add anything substantial to get me playing again. For me the zombie theme…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoying the heck out of this game, I don't know if I've played enough of it to warrant a glowing review, but I CAN say that it has more than enough content to keep anyone on the fence of the whole "Early Access" debacle satisfied. As a developer I can say that this is an evolution of this studio's past work (din's curse and depths of peril mainly) and it shows. I'm happy I bought it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Soldak have basically mashed up all their previous ARPG's into an enhanced Din's Curse. You have the overworld and clan system from Depths of Peril, the dungeon delving and classes from Dins Curse and the quest system and diplomacy of Drox Operative. This all in all makes it a very unique ARPG to play with plenty going on and to do. And is highly recomended if you can look past the dated visuals.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game and would laugh at the negative reviews concerning difficulty when I'm 50+ and holding my own. But I'm not laughing as the game deserves critique not downrating because people don't know how to play or what to expect. It's not for everyone though. This game may be for you if you like: [--] Challenge: (that is scalable, from fairly easy to nightmare hard) (You can even remove clans and zombies entirely and select starting level of enemies) [--] RPG with your Hack-n-Slash…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: I really wanted to like this game. Tons of good ideas, borrowed from various game genres. But skill trees and fighting are plagued by huge negative points (imho), and since we're talking about a hack'n'slash, that's a deal breaker. Positive: Like in many other games of this developper, there are a lot of good ideas: - Living map/quest system - Customizable difficulty - The zombie parameter is actually quite interesting - Tons of loot of various rarity levels. - 4 victory conditions /…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game reminds me of a mesh of some of my favorite games of all time. Part ARPG (Din's Curse in this instance), but has a similar feel and depth that old-school games like Seven Kingdoms, Majesty, Civ, Dwarf Fortress and various roguelike style of games. Let me first get to the Graphics and Sound, and also let me clear up why this isn't quite like a regular "Zombie" based game, if you can even call it one.. If you want to skip to the gameplay review, skip down to where the review says…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great Soldak title. A strategy game in a living, breathing world that reacts on what you do and especially what you don't do. If you fail to kill a boss monster in time, it will accrue more followers. The beauty is that almost every aspect is tweakable, so you can make the game as nail-biting hard or as casual as you like. All thumbs up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved Din's Curse, and tried to force myself to like this game, but I just cannot. The game has some serious problems that just make it impossible to enjoy. The game is somewhat like dins curse, but they have added some additional gameplay elements that just ruin it. I'm talking about: No vendors: There are no vendors assigned to your town, you will rarely find them in the wild, but never enough Run out of potions: Due to there being no vendors, you'll run out of just about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish i could modulate my vote instead of Yes or No. I will say Yes, but Zombasite doesn't feel very attractive, after Drox Operative or Din's Curse. It's a mix of all Soldak's games features, wasted with a flat Zombie theme, a weird artistic direction, and a not so good GUI. I don't like the colors nor the shapes of stuff ingame, and the outside lands are more or less ugly. The underground feels much better however. It's not a matter of techs, but arts. The living world, the quest system…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to tell you to buy Zombasite. I really do. Sure, the graphics look like PSX era stuff, and it takes a moment to get used to the maze-like map as opposed to other, more open overowrlds to ARPG games. That didn't matter. The game took hold of me initially. The good: This is an ARPG set in a fantasy world with a zombie parasite running rampant. You're the leader of (one) clan of survivors trying to make your way. This means recruiting new people to your cause, maintaining a town, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well shoot, this game hits everything I'm enjoying in Drox Operative, but gives me even more to care about! Because my faction is more than myself and my really irritating bosses, I can get invested in keeping my clan afloat. The premise is that the world's destroyed, and you claim a town with a handful of people and help keep them alive and fed while you go adventuring out in the hostile world. There's town defense to manage, the happiness and personalities of your people, their equipment,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn't go in thinking much, and I've been pleasantly surprised by what I found. Interesting mechanics, gameplay isn't bad and plenty of loot to find. I think the big thing here is the clan system, which is quite fun.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was either this game or Shower with your Dad Simulator 2015. Thank you Soldak for helping me escape just when I had needed you. Thank you. 9/10 (EA Placeholder, will review properly later.) In all honesty, if you don't like Soldak brand of action RPGs then you probably won't change your mind for this. The textures and graphics are slightly improved (at the cost of poor optimization in beta, but I'm sure that'll get ironed out as things progress). On the other hand, if you do like the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is confusing (not the intruiging type of confusing) It's overall boring. If you are looking for an ARPG diablo style game, this is not it. It's just weird and not a good weird. The graphics are bad, the textures are bland. The combat is choppy and sluggish and hitting an enemy doesn't feel exiting enough. The introduction to the game is terrible, instead of visually walking you through what the game is about, your screen gets overloaded with 100000 tips. You spend the first hour…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems like it has a lot of good features in there, but you're too rushed by nagging MUST DO NOW quests to ever really enjoy them. The experience is more hurried and chaotic than I like in my RPGs. If you want to be running every moment, then I guess it's okay, but if you actually want to relax and enjoy character building and interaction, look elsewhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An incredible game. The world is responsive and evolving, unlike every other ARPG. Your clan gets petrified, cursed, seiged, invaded, goes to war, creates your armour and weapons, and much, much more - and you can infuence all of it. As of the date of review (5 Nov 2015) the game is still in beta so there are bugs and a few balancing issues - if that's a dealbreaker, hold off for a few months. The developer seems to be updating frequently though and is active on the game forums. Lastly,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish I played this sooner. A complex Diablo-like aRPG with followers, 4X-style systems, Roguelike traditions, and a living world that is constantly evolving. Zombasite took a little time to adjust to as it is certainly a game of dozens of spinning plates. My first few hours were filled with frustration as I could barely keep up everything the game was throwing at the player's attention. It is worth persevering, letting the failures roll over you, and sticking with it. Take some time, dig…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the freedom Drox Operative gave me to do as i wished to solve each world, to explore and ponder my options. Things could get out of hand ofc and they did, but at least i had the feeling i could change things, have an impact on the worlds. For me Zombasite does the exact opposite. The game drowned me in multiple layers of crap and chained me to the bottom: The outpost/town you HAVE TO MANAGE OR YOU LOSE is a prison, a clunky guesswork of a management minigame where people fling…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“In your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie” ~The Cranberries I kinda admire Soldak Entertainment. You know? I mean, seriously. The guys found their own unique niche and are sticking with it. You can say a lot of different things about their games, but they're recognizable. Like you can easily recognize Ubisoft's title, you can easily say it's something from Steven Peeler and his team. I'm not trying to compare Soldak with Ubisoft, of course, but... you've got the idea. The guys…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/ZWUF3NlJRwk Le Hack and Slash est un genre très codifié où la moindre tentative d'innovation est risquée et ce pour deux raisons : 1) l'innovation pourrait casser un équilibre délicat entre l'aspect corvée et la carotte reçue pour ladite corvée. Si la corvée est trop fastidieuse, on perd l'envie de ramasser la carotte, si la corvée est trop facile, la carotte n'a plus la moindre saveur. 2) Il est très difficile de modifié les codes instaurés par le Papy Diablo sans que les…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another excellent game by the great SOLDAK! Been playing their games since Depths of Peril. Zombasite reminds me of a combination of Depths of Peril and Din's Curse; But even better. Play the new Demo to try it out, excellent Early Access game. I cannot recommend this more. SOLDAK updates regularly, the game is getting better and better each month. Keep it up Dev's, this is one of the best games I have played in a LONG time. Pros: - Excellent Dev's with continual updates, this game has came…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first, I thought this was just another cheaply made indie game, but to my surprise, the developer behind this game has been working on his own games since 2004. The game also hooked me with its dynamic world and procedural generation. How every creature has his own job to fulfill even if you remain idle for so long. The world felt alive and you have to act quickly to beat quests. Failing some quests is very possible. In fact, beating all the quests is impossible, so that makes it even more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend Zombasite. There are a few fatal game mechanics that just really hurt this game tremendously. The first is the actual Zombasite infections which are absurdly difficult to cure, and prevent you from attacking. Secondly, people management in your town has no instructions, and is remarkably challenging for no apparent game pleasing benefit. On our third run we did manage to keep our people reasonably stable. But it involves routinely punting people out of your town.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Detailed characters and abilities, dynamic world, layered quests. It's an original and deep take on A-RPGs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of things going for it... and a lot of other things that isn't quite there yet. Let's start off with the good. The best thing about this game is that the worlds are always going to be different each and every time you play. Permadeath for your clan members make every raid or war your clan is involved in a harrowing but fun experience. The quests that you could not complete in time or chose to ignore could lead to different consequences in your game. 4 different…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has promise but many, many problems when it comes to balance, bugs, and mechanics. 1. Balance is extremely bad. I started on Soldak games with Din's Curse. I enjoyed that game, but it was very unbalanced. However, the rest of the game was enjoyable enough that the balance issues could be overlooked. Not with Zombasite. It's in a worse spot than Din's Curse ever could be when it comes to balance. Start a new game, meet a faction right from the start, one minute later the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun idea, but the delivery is not great, pal creating those games kind of doesn't ever finish/polish the one out or in early access, but rather creates next iteration, I kind of understand that from business perspective, but I would rather have single one really working/finished product, than 3+ interesting ideas that will never be finished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a zombie game. It's a weird, but fun hybrid between a diablo clone and something vaguely MOBA-vs-bots-like, with a little bit of resource / city management / party management on top. If you're familiar with Soldak's other games, this is basically Din's Curse 1.5 with a better overworld, base management, and other bases/factions in the overworld. RE the zombie angle, there are monsters that can attack your town, and the game *calls* them Zombies in name, but that's almost all there…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short answer: it's a really fun game with many evolving gameplay mechanics overlapping to make it enjoyable. Longer answer: there are many areas for improvment and the developer seems to patch once per week. I read the patch notes regularly and requests/suggestions from the community are addressed. The game has a fairly ambitious scope with so many interacting systems. Not to mention skill balancing for the character classes. So there's a lot of work left to do. That said, I enjoy the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EDIT (8/23/2016) I can't help but feels this game is just unfinished and that's with it being out of Early Access. There is just too many things that aren't going well in this game. I for one would not recommend it to anyone. ====================================================================== ====================================================================== I have enjoyed all games made from this company and I'm hoping to enjoy this one too. But until the unbearable stuttering and lag…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing Soldak games since I was 3, so they fall into the category of "I normally wouldn't enjoy this, but I've been indoctrinated from a young age to enjoy them," and Zombasite specifically is one that I've recently gotten obsessed with. Soldak games are ARPG Hack 'n Slashes with the caveat that time is important — if you don't stab that named monster soon enough, it is going to cause more problems. These problems could take the form of an uprising of X monster in an area of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've tried to like this game. I honestly have. It's got great classes, an interesting hybrid class that lets you combine any two subclasses, and the gameplay is like Diablo with factions. And for a while, it's fun. But after a few hours, the game decides to end you. Either you meet a faction that's way more powerful and so aggressive that they invade you the literal minute after they meet you(as was the session I just had), or some big bad way out of your reach decides now is the time to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In my first 15 hours of playing the game, the game crashed three times and I encountered at least two other serious bugs. I don't have any problems with crashes in other games. Since the game has a lot of potential, I would recommend it if it were early access. However, as a finished product, I cannot recommend it in its current state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The latest Soldak game does not disappoint. It combines every learned from the previous games into one. Though skills are similar to previous generations they have been revised and improved, making combat noticably better. The faction and quest system is simple but has enough there to be worth doing. Managing your town and people is intersting and important (lost soo many towns due to not managing it well). The zombasite are always a threat but can be disabled to take a break from them. If…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, but it's not something I would recommend to other people. There's a lot of things it doesn't do well, but it hits the itch for a loot game with a bunch of classes and combinations. Nothing is really good about the game. It's kind of like an arcade version of diablo. If you've played all of the other action RPGs this one is a bit of something new. A little roguelike, a little city management. It touches on systems like sending your townfolk on quests - but every feature seems…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God I love this game way too much. I have way more than 221 hours of game time invested and do not doubt that I'll break 500 one day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From roid rage beserkers to powerful warlocks that can summon entire armies to do his bidding, this game gives you the freedom to create your desired hero and thrust him into a post apocalyptic fantasy world. You have several classes to choose from, each with 3 subclasses that have their own strategies. Like to be a waterboy? Well the priest warlock is for you! Like to rub your nipples and moan obscenely as everything in view is consumed in flames? The hybrid Fire Mage/Fire Mage will tickle…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, this is a hard one to recommend. I have to admit that I had refunded the game once before I commited to it. So, yes, no unconditional recommendation. Why? I had quite abit of fun with the previous games Drox Operative and Din's Curse (bought directly from developers website, not on Steam) but I never was able to get into Depths of Peril. So I saw Zombasite (silly name...) was out and tried the demo. I was kind of interested and bought the full game. I played a bit, but was COMPLETELY…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game does not work stuck at the loading screen. Steam over lay does not work with this game as well. Icons are super small.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impression: this game will be a good title in Soldak's lineup. It draws on the lessons learned from previous games, adds a healthy dose of zombie apocalypse, and mixes it into a nice cocktail. It mixes Din's Curse's Action-RPG combat and dungeon crawling, Depths of Peril's clans and outside world, with Drox Operative's diplomacy and mission system. That said, it's definitely a beta title that still needs some polishing and bug hunting. (Note: I wrote this on 15 October 2015, a day after…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Soldak games are always hard to review. I respect indie devs who try to progress their genre. Making a 4x style ARPG with a dynamic world is a fun idea. I do like how fast pace the game is. You have many classes to choose from and can even do dual classes. With the random and evolving world no two playthroughs will be the same. The animations and combat leave a lot to be desired. Plus there are few models for the loot you find so a level 100 character will look mostly the same as a level…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unbalanced game. Disorganized and not so fun. Din's Curse was way better than this ♥♥♥♥ game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty fun for what it is, and it does the ARPG formula pretty well. It isn't perfect, but I still definitely recommend it. Some of the wins are pretty imbalanced (especially adventurer as quests keep appearing), and sometimes the game just drops a group of 5 or so named elites to crush you, or annihilate your party members, even if rare. Still, definitely worth your time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Outstanding game that blends many genres into a diabloish base. Emergent gameplay due to myriad systems. Unpolished and unfair at times. Soldak games are their own thing. Quirky and brilliant.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An awesome ARPG from the indie team Soldak Entertainment. Zombasite offers more depth and gameplay features than pretty much any other ARPG in the industry, making Zombasite quite a lot more attractive to people who want a bit more than the usual Diablo-esque grind. Zombasite is hands down one of the absolute best games within the genre and I can't stress enough the fact that Soldak Entertainment are a great team for putting so much love and effort into their games and constantly pushing out…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite having not put much time into the game, I already personally feel it is a typical Soldak gem. It is akin to the other Soldak fantasy titles such as Din's Curse, and utilizes some of the concepts seen in their sci-fi game Drox Operative (a game I truly hope to see a sequel for one day). In essence, it is a gestalt with slightly improved graphics. Procedural generation ensures a fresh new experience, along with the unique hybrid class system. In regards to some of the negative…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a great fan of Depths of Peril. It aged horrendously but in terms of game mechanics it was pretty nice and uncommon. Zombasite is by the same guys, Soldak, and it reuses *a lot* of assets from that game, some have been improved but are still generally the same assets. Unfortunately it feels like the game is still using that seriously dated engine this dev team used years and years ago and it's starting to show with *extremely* oversized UI and at times simplistic gameplay. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy crap, Drox Operative meets Diablo. Buy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, I played Depths of Peril forever ago and now I've just re-discovered Soldak's indie games. Zombasite is basically Diablo but also with a town management aspect. Having AI 'players' and clans run around is quite fun, but the game can feel very hectic at times - which is both a bad and good thing. You'll often be running back to town or trying to find portals that will get you back so you can help protect it with your AI recruited NPCs. It's really fun when you get into it though.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you've played other Soldak games, you know what you're in for. And as with other Soldak games, I recommend ignoring screenshots and just trying the demo. Their games are always WAY more fun than they look on the surface. It's an awesome ARPG with some interesting twists. There's so much to do......... -Kill stuff -Questing -Making buddies for your clan -Making enemies -Trading stuff -Stopping buddies from poisoning food supply -Dungeoneering -Crafting junk into more useful junk -Running…

I have started in parallel a second character that is now close to level 60. This is about 400H played, about 320H recorded. It's still a very partial vision of the classes and skills, both are close range characters (Warrior, Demon Hunter). EDIT1: On Mac I started have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should have been named Dins Curse II heh. It would appear that Soldak took all the best elements of thier games and combined them making a super fun mix of ARPG, character development, clan management, and diplomacy. This is the most entertaining game yet by these guys. Pros: +Solid gameplay meshed together from previous games. Feels like an comfortable pair of slippers. + Its cheap (imho) +Super fun if you are into Soldak games +Solid condition for an early access, looks like its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As others have already said, Zombasite combines, refines, and evolves all of the best gameplay mechanics and features introduced seperately in prior Soldak games. If you do not like Action RPGs or you value graphics heavily, this may not be the game for you. However, if you enjoy Action RPGs and place a premium value on both good gameplay mechanics and customization, there is a chance you will like it as much as I do. A demo is available for you to try it and find out if its particular style…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried to play multiplayer with a friend, but niether Direct Connecting via LAN nor the "internet servers" that Soldak provide would work for us. This game is worthless to me without working Multiplayer so I requested a refund, which is a shame cause I wanted to learn what this game was all about, but I'm not going to buy a game that falsly advertises features that don't work.
