BAD DAY (2018)

BAD DAY is yet another of literally hundreds of lazy amateur 2D retro top-down/iso view shooter/brawlers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This Russian zombie shooter has a mild narrative bolted on as you control one of four people amd shoot your way through a zombie apocalypse environment, stopping to search/loot for pickups as you go. Each of the characters has a slightly different goal, which shows that some (but not much) effort has gone into making a real game here. One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. While the developers are Russian and the vast majority of asset flips and other scams and shovelware originates from Russia, it doesn't mean all Russian developers are unethical or don't try to do the right thing. I couldn't find any flipped assets, plagiarism or any other kind of insincere actions from the developer, but unfortunately genuine intentions alone are not enough to produce a brilliant PC gaming experience. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. This game has…

It's a Bad day, filled with monsters that want to kill you, but you can shoot them, you can play as 4 characters who all have different goals to achieve, can any day really be bad with teamwork? https://youtu.be/1HFcB5ZUZH4

BAD DAY is a side-scrolling survival shooter developed and published by Factory 64 Games that embraces a classic arcade-inspired design while placing players in the middle of a viral apocalypse. The premise is simple yet effective: a devastating infection has transformed the majority of humanity into savage creatures, leaving only a handful of survivors struggling to stay alive. Instead of focusing on an elaborate narrative, the game tells its story through its hostile world, where every encounter reinforces the desperation of surviving another day. Its retro presentation and straightforward objective make it immediately accessible to players who enjoy action games built around skill, persistence, and resource management. Players can choose from four different survivors, each thrown into dangerous environments packed with infected enemies and hidden threats. Progress depends on carefully navigating each stage while making intelligent use of limited supplies. Ammunition is intentionally scarce, making every shot meaningful and preventing combat from becoming mindless. Exploration also plays a noticeable role, as abandoned buildings and scattered containers may hold valuable resourc…

Very charming game! I went into it with zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The gameplay is about as simple as it gets, but it feels nice to run around and shoot bad guys. I like that there are a variety of monsters to shoot rather than just boring zombies. It lacks a lot of the systems I'm used to in games like these, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It was actually kind of refreshing not to have to worry about inventory management and just focus on shooting. With that being said, I wish there was just a little more depth. I know this game was made on a $0 budget, so I'm not too critical, but it would be nice if there was a little more variety from level to level. Maybe a boss at the end of levels or more monsters that attack you in different ways would add some spice. Just my thoughts! I got it for free, but it's definitely worth the price!

THIS IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!! Not only did my ex Wife start talking to me again but she aslo let me see the kids 10/10 would recommend

Not the best "zombie" game I ever played, even when it comes to indie titles, BUT I feel like BAD DAY should be getting more attention than it did. While the idea for a game is also not very original, this game was made into a really fun to play title. BAD DAY is cheap ($1, even less on sale), if you want to spend a short time playing an indie game that isn't so bad, I recommend you this game. At the very least it's different than many of games from smaller developers on Steam.
