About City Z

"The virus appeared just six months ago and has already devastated humanity as we knew it. Governments fell one after another. Only a few decimated and isolated groups remain, trying to survive and free their regions from the poison. I’m the leader of one such resistance group, fighting each day to eliminate those creatures from every city, one by one..."

City Z is the first Top-Down Shooter which has native support for Virtual Reality but can also be played without VR headset. Each "New Game" is a unique experience, since the scenery, objectives, weather and date are all randomly generated. During your missions you may find other survivors who may help you if they trust you. But do not approach the infected, since a simple bite may turn you into one of them.

The game is divided into a number of random missions which will have you eradicate the virus from the cities in the region. Each one of those missions takes place in different cities, with varying characters and objectives. This system allows for new experiences to be added to the game in a quick and simple way.

A bad designed top-down shooter: the default control keys can´t be rebinding. Many years ago this issue may have been tolerable, but never today. As this product is unplayable for most common players cause it doesn't comply a main of the basic current industry standards, it should be remove from the store, at least until it does. As simple as that.

A game where VR controllers simply don't work. Plus, the player must constantly bow his head in order to see the level layout. Also, if you have WMR controllers and set your height, you will be like Gulliver in a city invaded by zombies. French translation is riddled with spelling errors and the levels and the narration are confusing as hell. The author did everything wrong with making a VR game.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
