Unreal Engine - Adult Escape From Zombie U [v2024-10-15] [mayorto]

This should be right up my alley. I love female prota games, I love side scrollers with combat and grapple h-animations and I love zombie games But sadly the combat in this game really holds it back

I actually thought this game was unfinished but based on their itch page it seems this is intended to be a finished product as in the combat system to their minds is finished?!

First off, the h-content is top tier. An easy 10/10 in terms of the adult content. The combat rape is well animated and has multiple stages to the animations. Each enemy seems to have 2 animations and you even have a few tagteam animations as well. On top of all that you have two fully animated game over sequences that are well made and top tier animation quality

But the combat, my god is the combat god awful

The enemy movement speed is much faster than your character animation speed so not only does it look and feel very yank it makes the gameplay very tedious as you literally have to move slowly and then stop in front of every enemy and keep attacking them until they die. You have to time your attacks as god forbid we can attack stunned enemies

But oh get this, you have a dodge roll as well, can it dodge enemies? Nah! If you roll past an enemy they grab you instantly. If you roll past a stunned enemy that is immune to attack? As in you attack them, they get stunned you can't damage them again so okay can we at least dodge roll past them? Naaah

The dodge roll only works on trap type enemies (ceiling and ground tentacle traps) and if you knockdown an enemy with a jump kick but even then it is 50/50 if it works or not

In most games of this style you can dodge enemies at the appropriate height. As in normally you have 4 hitbox zones; flying, middle and crawling. With the 4th hitbox zone being standing enemies that can hit all 3 zones

And how it normally works in this type of sidescroller is you can normally roll under flying enemies, jump over crawling enemies and only middle and full height enemies you have no choice but to fight

The issue here with is that rolling under flying enemies you still get grabbed. Rolling past stunned enemies you still get grabbed and jumping over low enemies you still get grabbed as well

The only low enemy you seem to be able to jump over is the dog and again even that is very iffy with a 50/50 success rate due to the bad hitbox sizing

The devs of this game really need to go play some KooooN Soft games like Shinobi Girl or to see how it can be done even better than that is to go play the original adult sidescroller that started this entire genre, Demon Girl by LineMarvel

And again it is such a shame as the adult content is top tier but the combat just completely ruins the game. I really tried to love this game but I just can't get any enjoyment out of it with the horrid combat system currently in it

I'm not overly into the subject matter, but the animation in this game really deserves praise.

It has a really old school "toon" feel, the lady is voluptuous in exactly the right ways, the sex scenes are extremely well animated and gorgeous. It makes me wish more people still made art in this style.

Game itself isn't much to talk about, get an auto button masher or it is pretty much impossible to complete. But the art completely redeems it. Extremely high quality.

Edit: It also runs extremely poorly and made my gpu fan go into overdrive more than any other computer game. Hitting alt-enter seems to help but it would be good to have a config menu for resolution and also to turn the music down / off.

Admittedly I know nothing about the history of this game, but being an idea in the making for over a decade doesn't give me high hopes about the future.

But from what I've seen, it's basically a jankier Koooon Soft clone with zombies. I found the controls to be more stiff and a lot slower compared to KoonSofts which made the game a lot more frustrating than I anticipated. The issue is that I'm at least familiar with this game style so I still found it manageable in the end, but others would likely find this both unenjoyable and potentially unplayable.

The animations and art are the highlights of this game, and even then it's not perfect. Currently there's only 1 playable character, but the game promises 7 in the future, though whether these characters will have unique animations is unknown. That said, an issue I noticed is that every enemy has 2 animations, and one always has a threesome available. I guess in order to streamline development they reuse the same animation for the 2nd enemy, except the 2nd enemy doesn't always line up. While this is a nitpick, when the few good things going for this game is the animation and I'm still seeing flaws, then I'm going to nitpick as much as I want.

I'd give this a 2.5 if I could, but I rounded it to a 3. Admittedly, 3 stars (Even 2.5) is a bit high for the issues this game has, but because I managed to finish this in about 30-40 minutes, it's still tolerable. That said, the dev needs to rework the controls or something because I can see how someone who has never played this type of game can easily get frustrated.

Primitive, unpolished gameplay, dogshit control system, zero optimization, simplistic visuals and audio, and literally no GUI. This is typical first project of a guy, who just starting to learn game-making.

But apparently, unlike all the other newbies, this one can draw animations. Well, big whoop. Go, draw a flash cartoon or something.

Animation doesn't really matter, and this game is a perfect proof of that. Sure, its fine to have it, if it's decent, but good games are fine without it, and bad games cannot be saved by it.

So if your game is shit without animations - it is still shit with them

Great game, really enjoyed it, GREAT animations and good gameplay. It's something you really want to play! maybe something you want to add is some kind of "boss" but for the rest the game is mature and great

worst mechanics I've seen, spamming AD like crazy just for the bar to reset when another creature gets to you, if you can't escape, the character just afks for a more than a few seconds for no reason, mobs stop in front of you and you get chain caught into oblivion... 1 star for the animations...

Not bad for a 0.1, though the only thing decent about it are the animations. The rest of the game is a buggy mess, which doesn't seem like it was playtested at all. No indicators for what to do after you get caught, and when you do figure it out, half the time it glitches out and doesn't let you see or control the character anymore, leading to a game over.

Side scroller runner game with time limit, you need to get caught to see the animations. Everytime you lose you go to the start of the zone. The gameplay doens't mix well with this type of game. The controls are really bad.

I only give it 2 stars and not 1 because the animations and art are good.

Review v0.2 - kicksater 1.0:
After the confusion with uploaded version "1.0" which were actually only the "sex ed" mini game that can be now found in the version v1.0/0.2 beside the story mode I've change my review to 4 stars:
Overall I like the game concept, the art and gameplay animations look good and the game is overall promising.
But it looks like beside the "sex ed" mode and the gallery of it, there are no sex animations that I could find.

i was waiting this for so long, been around 10 months since the demo.

Game is good, animation wise it's better, got diffrent type of mechanics, like tower defence, classic side scroll type, there was an attempt for story aswell.

it's not really a long game right now but it had serious update and i belive it will keep coming, I highly recommend this game, Got decent animations, not so many but got quality ones,

8/10

Great animation, huge potential with the right approach, completed first level in the demo version. I hope this project will have a continuation. The sex scenes are quite vanilla, but if you're a fan of zombie sperm, there's plenty to see in this game (pay attention to the code in the game folder).

Just enough content to show what the game has to offer, and if this quality is maintained, it has a LOT to offer. It has an oddly nostalgic feel, but is definitely one of the best games I've found in a long while. Highly recommend. Can't wait to see what comes next for this game and its dev(s)

EDIT: Kickstarter drama, price points, and apparent milking of the fans (and not in the fun way) should be taken into account. Although I will not be changing my star rating as that is based solely on the content in this demo. Here's hoping we see some change on the financial side of things. Not sure how I feel about their business model as of now.

Wow, I did not expect such incredible animations!
and good gameplay too? A dream come true.
Only "bad" thing i noticed was the weird lag-ish kinda thing that happens
but since this is just a demo, I'm sure they'll fix it eventually.

Can't wait for more.
