Cheitha

I really like this one. There's a lot of really good top down zombie shooters these days, and this one has to be in the top ten or top fifteen.. that I've played anyhow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ede0jB9I_ww It feels to me a lot like a top down single player Call of Duty zombie game with the power-ups and opening doors to access new areas and gun boxes and all. Nothing wrong with copying successful games and making your own version of them, a top down in this particular game. I think I got this game a good while back in a bundle on IndieGala or Fanatical or somewhere, but it's definitely worth the $5. My first impressions score is an 8.5 out of 10. Definitely Recommended!

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Cheitha is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of generic "zombie" assets and other trash from the Unity Asset store and dumped it on a basic top down shooter template. Very little in this is the actual "creation" of the "developer", so it makes sense they ran into a brick wall and decided the wisest course of action would be to try scam gamers into buying an abandoned asset flip. It has no value…

Abandoned game in early access.. It actually had potential with nice art and gunplay, but I don't like the balance and pacing in it, and it really falls short with barely any powerups which really make or break this type of game.

Tried it twice before I decided---its not for me. Gunplay and movement felt good. gameplay is light and it has a free to play, mobile feel to it. It's a no go for me.

This is basically still the prototype. Very flat and basic, even after two years of early access.

A limited resource, locked-room, run and gun game with a fairly original premise. It was a challenging lunch break game when I played through. I'll likely play it again as it gets developed.
