  This is one of those games that looks super average in video and screenshots that you really have to play to appreciate. The guns feel natural to use and killing wooden zombie cutouts is so satisfying when they explode into little bits after a headshot. One of the few games i've experienced in VR where an hour dissapeared on moments.

  Very good fun, reminds me of point blank. The weapons are well modelled,the reload is basic,as in automatic reloading i just wish this had co-op play as its a blast in single player.

  Zombie Training Simulator is an addicting wave-based survival shooter. Gunplay is solid with no complaints. I am a huge fan of the cartoon pseudo 2d theme. It creates an atmosphere the is enganging, but, not tense and draining such as a more horror themed survival shooter such as The Brookhaven Experiment. The cartoony theme and low level violence makes this game suitable for older children. The difficulty settings provide a suitable challenge for any skill ranges. In addition to wave-based survival there is also skill based challenges which test the player's ability to cope with a specific circumstance. The progression system and gunplay make this title enjoyable and something you will keep coming back to for quite a while. Gameplay Breakdown: Choose from one of the guns on the table and select your challenge. In Survival, you use the resources on your table and explosives littered around the map to make it to the end of the wave. Meat acts as a zombie magnet. Propane tanks and gas cans are throwable explosives that need to be shot. Grenades are throw-and-forget timed explosives. The objective in the skill challenges varies from one to the next. Pros: +Cartoony theme is enjoyable and suitable for older children. +Intense zombie gameplay without a tense atmosphere. +Multiple maps and skill challenges. +Progression system to unlock bigger and badder guns. +Throwable resources and littered explosives respawn at the end of the round. +Difficulty settings make this title accessible for any player regardless of skill level. +Theming is great for people who want to shoot massive amounts of zombies but not have to deal with a scary or dramatically tense atmoshpere. Cons: -The weapon system is a bit disappointing in that you can't have both the traditional primary (assault rifle, smg, shotgun) and secondary (pistol) at one time. Because of this there is almost never a reason to use the pistols once you unlock better weapons because they are straight inferior. Being able to swap to your secondary instead of reloading would fix this, and, greatly improve gameplay. -The strategy for survival seems pretty systematic. Throw meat to distract the zombies. Throw explosives into large groups if there isn't one littered nearby. Shoot at zombie heads. Throw more meat when the previous one's duration expires. -After completion of a skill challenge there is no incentive to replay beyond trying to beat your time. -Progression system seems to be a bit of a grind. -Unlocking new guns is only achievable through total zombie kills. Pretty boring, as they could have instead rewarded by beating a certain amount of waves on a map or a certain time/score in a skill challenge. -I don't know how much additional content is going to be added post-launch. All in all I feel that this title was still worth the $20.

  Nephew and I playing this constantly. Great gun physics. Dream feature is a co-op campaign mode where one person goes then the other etc through an awesome storyline. Thumbs up recommend. Have it mirrored out to a big tv and it's a blast to watch too.

  Zombie Cutouts... Yes Just a handfull of guns...Yes Just a handfull of levels...Yes So I start by tossing out the stereo, place the propane tanks on the table and pick em off, or mow em down either way it's fun as all hell. I just wish I had a grill behind the table to cook up those unthrown steaks. I've played this longer than a couple minutes and I'll tell ya now this is fun! Looking forward to new modes and a bigger arsenal. OMG A MINIGUN WOULD BE FLIPPIN AWESOME! Except the reload... that would probably suck.

  If the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover" was coined today, it would surely be "Don't judge a VR game by its 2D screenshots". I initially thought the cartoonish graphics would be completely immersion breaking and that the game wouldn't be fun. Until I actually played it. There's just one thing that I'd absolutely love to see - I'd love a coop multiplayer option. To have someone else standing next to me and be able to take the horde on as a pair would be awesome.

  Want to like this game. Really want to like this game. Sadly boring after the first few levels. It's a well-made game, Just very little content.

  I wanted to enjoy this game. The lighthearted zombie cutouts were amusing, the game looked and felt good, and the sounds of the guns were solid. However it's just not worth $20 by any stretch of the imagination ($10 would be more favorable, but still iffy). The game is so bare in it's content, that it's just not that fun after an hour or two. Yeah I can unlock more guns (Progression is actually a great tool that some of these content-lacking VR games should use), and there are leaderboards... But outside of those there's really nothing. The gameplay is very bland, the shooting mechanics while acceptable, seriously need some more active "reload" mechanism, and regardless of the change in levels they all feel identical. VR is pretty bare game-wise at the time of this review, but even still this sort of empty feeling game just feels overpriced.

  A great experience type game. Very polished. Probably good for a few hours of entertainment but then it becomes a grind to earn all the guns. I wish there was more depth to the game.

  I got this in my Vive bundle. It's 20$? Really? It's not really worth that. The gameplay is very shallow. Worst of all, the long weapons can't be held with both hands (as far as I can tell). Nothing worse than shooting a shotgun or asault rifle one handed. And then it auto reloads. On top of that, it's really grindey in order to unlock the guns. I wouldn't mind so much if the gameplay was more fun. Would not recommend for 20$, at all.
