The Walking Trade

I tried ignoring the bugs, as numerous and frequent as they maybe, but I can't ignore just how incomplete and unpolished this game is as an experience. I really wanna like it. The core concept is fun, the gameplay itself is fun when its not tripping over itself, but from the very first raid you can tell this was never playtested before it was put out and as much is confirmed by the dev in patchnotes. Maybe one day this can be a game where items, customers, and otherwise don't vanish from thin air for no reason in the middle of interactions. Maybe one day the physics of the bodies won't smack away the loot they drop as you search them. Maybe one day the difficulty slider will be somewhat reliable (even on relaxed difficulty, by raid 1 you'll probably end up with half your employees wiped), but it feels far away. I would like to note that if the dev is able to fix all these issues I'd gladly return to the game, but in its current state I couldn't even honestly recommend it at its current price which is less than $15. I will gladly retract this review and recommend this game once these problems are adressed.

The Walking Trade A friend put me onto this one, and it turned out to be worth the recommendation. The Walking Trade drops you into running a shop in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and the opening stretch is rough. There's barely any tutorial covering loot, controls, employee management, or how to actually push the game forward, so you're mostly left figuring things out while getting hammered by way too many zombie attacks with a tiny store and zero staff to help. It's a lot to juggle all at once early on, and I can see people bouncing off before it clicks. But once it clicks, it clicks hard. Hiring people for security and general upkeep starts easing the pressure, loot quality goes up, and batteries start flowing in steadily. I've put in 70 in-game days over 10 hours and already have every skill point spent with my people maxed out, which tells you how quickly the pace picks up once the foundation is built. I've still got some ground to cover before my store itself is fully maxed, but once that happens I don't think there's a ton left to chase besides pushing into the harder Hell Raids for a bigger challenge. It's a genuinely fun zombie-killing store sim once you push past t…

It's certainly fun, It's kind of a Kick in the Nads in the beginning though

great gameplay but deletes my data every time I exit.

very fun shop keeping game with zombies and chaos included. if you enjoy zombie media and goofy number go up style games then this is definitely the game for you
