RPGM - Completed - Zombie-Girl Island [v2021-01-18] [7cm]

Decent game overall, would have liked for additional content after each of the endings like a additional H scene for romanceable characters. All in all the art is fine, really enjoy the inclusion of the optional male romantic option which I wish was in more games. Doesn't take too much work to 100%, basically just an afternoon.

decent for an hour of game-play and then quitting. lots of dialogue. art is mediocre and there's not much of it. as far as i could tell you can't lose and you can basically pick any ending you want at any point in time. (the translation is good too, don't be put off by the MTL tag.)

Zombie-Girl Island is a game made with passion. I clearly can see all the effort devs have put into its design. However, probably due to lack of game dev experience, the gameplay is grindy, porn is lackluster - and the story can't attract the attention of a player. If at least any of these three would've been better, then the game could've been recommended by me. Unfortunately, this game is nothing but mediocre.

+ Unique for RPGM game design
+ Decent list of interactable characters
+ Good effort into writing all the various character interactions
++ A game that is made with love and passion, I always appreciate that
++ Huge variability in gameplay
± There could be a more interesting story behind the island and its inhabitants. The island itself could be more lifefull
± While I think that it's alright to have sex with zombies (in porn games), I still don't understand why MC has any motivation to rape them (except because of player's curiocity)
- Lack of challenge. For survival and management games it's a critical flaw
- A lot of grind in places where it should've been avoided
- Characters are desperetly lacking in the good progression and rationality
- Endings here are not something worth grinding for
-- H-scenes are blank and lifeless


My rating - 44/80, or 3/5.

Further below is a more thorough review where I check every aspect of the game and rate it. It contains spoilers to the game so make sure to play the game first before reading this.

This game is kind of cute, feels like it suffers a bit from not really knowing what any options are going to do before you click on them and find out. I had an all right time playing it for a day but, I probably won't go back to finish the story.

Gameplay wise, it's ok. There are a couple of very simple minigames as you wander about gathering resources and maintaining your status bars. Not too grindy.

The content is... fine. I didn't really find any of the story or sex scenes gripping. Feels like you just kind of do stuff as it becomes available since again, there's no real informed choices, and the sex scenes may or may not come with rewards that are better than any non-sex stuff you could be doing once they're unlocked, anyway.

All in all it's a bit directionless and average.

*DEEEEEEP INHALE*

...~

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...~

Genre: Sandbox with resource management
Game length: 6-7 hours for 100% completion
Difficulty: Easy
Adult content: Very fine amount of CG images.
Evaluation: Nice food for a Black Soul.

You can love, kill and rape any woman (and one man) you want. Every character is killable and there is a great amount of different endings.
And yes, zombies are also vulnerable to your desires, both to kill and... you know.

Also, very important thing, you only need mouse to play this game.

Verdict: Recommended!

PS: I recommend you to use Save Editor if you don't want to grind resources.

Interesting trial and error game. A lot of reading but entertaining.

RNG based and not for everyone especially if you want to unlock everything. H-Scenes are just CGs but they look great. The grind is intense though and takes time to level and farm materials.

This feels like a $5 game you'd buy on sale on steam and enjoy for a day. As long as you have that level of expectation, I'm happy to give this 5 stars since you'll be getting it free. It reminds me of some of those simple castaway adventure/city builders- if you like those but wish they had a bit of sex, then this should be your cup of tea.

Positives:
-Good translation, some errors and the meaning is occasionally lost a little but it's all very understandable.
-Quite good gameplay loop, it's all pretty easy to get the hang of quickly. It's not revolutionary and gets slightly grindy, but it's enough to support a game of this length.
-Sense of progression- you start as a wimp, end up quite tanky and NG+ is effective in jump starting a redo. The perk and building systems are surprisingly robust.
-Lots of choice of ending with no judgement over what you choose. Want to cuck your best friend and leave your own GF behind? You can do that. Or you could sail off with that same best friend and leave the women behind. Harems and massacres are also on offer.
-Characters are just about deep enough to make sex mean something without requiring too much reading. This contrasts with the zombie stuff where there is minimal context and so is forgettable. While at first the girls all look the same with different hair colour, by the end you'll distinguish them well enough. Notably the guy survivors are all champs, nice change of pace from the usual jerks' gallery.
-Wide array of collectables, tools and CG's, all of which are either pointed to in-game or in the first post of this thread.

Negatives:
-Mid-game event which is overlong. Unlike the concise character vignettes, this felt like it could have been halved and still have got the story across fine.
-Imbalance in resource need vs production, leading to some skills being way more useful than others. There needed to be a passive way of collecting material, and food production should have been toned down.
-Cg's are censored. Some internal views counteract this somewhat, but you wouldn't play this just for the scenes.
-I think the ending system could've been tweaked so as not to encourage you to end the game with killing everyone. I suggest new players follow the guide's advice of getting the research ending first, but then before NG+, do the following.... Build house->Kill females (need to have killed zombie in cave)->Male ending->kill males->Kill all ending. That'll save you doing what I did, an admittedly very quick run to finish off those ending.

Mid. I sleep.

A click grind for some basic censored PNGs. Story is sleep. Survival element is sleep. Endings are sleep. At least the game isn't outright terrible but man is it boring. The New Game + stuff isn't even worth it either. Just one more boring girl and some endings you didn't technically 'unlock' in a single run (which again, aren't worth it). I guess on the plus side it has a bunch of CGs, but kind of a quantity over quality thing.

Interesting game. Has your normal harem survival setup, only the twist is that the remote island you're stuck on with a bunch of beautiful women has zombies. And then unlike having the normal live/corruption routes with girls, you can be a truly evil fuck and rape/kill/zombify all the girls, if that's your kink.

The midgame can be grindy but isn't too terrible. The default rates of finding special items when searching is probably too low, but the items are useless except for how they affect your final game score, which I believe influences how many bonuses you get when you start a New Game+. I do sorta like how the NG+ system works - rather than just carrying over your talents/items from the first game and being massively overpowered from the start, you get some points to pick out some perks... it's nice but not game-breaking.

[Minor Spoilers] One gripe I have though is that one NG+ perk involves being able to save a girl who becomes zombified at the beginning of the normal game. There's nothing too special about this girl, but I think some of the harem ends are locked out in your first playthrough because of this. This is not really clear from the beginning, and I figured that maybe there was a way to un-zombify her on the first playthrough... but there isn't, so if you want any of the endings that involve her being alive and well then you have to rush to New Game+, take the perk that saves her, and then play. It is annoying that this is not made clear from the start though. Besides this there are not many differences between NG+ and NG. [/Spoilers]

Also, at the end of the day the h-scenes are pretty unrewarding... each girl has a few (censored) CGs across a couple scenes (plus an additional scene+CG as a zombie). There are some nice unique events towards the endgame but they just seem to happen as time passes. No threesomes or harem stuff, even with the girl dating your best friend... only NTR, no sharing.

So the game is sort of a letdown on some dimensions, but it is a bit interesting in the options you have for being an evil bastard... but that's not my cup of tea.

Great game.

Fun to play with scenes with a lot of women, some of them zombies!

You have many different endings you can get with every character, or all characters, or no characters. You only need about 2 playthroughs to get all the endings, and the game is fun to play so its not a bother.

The translation is better than MTL for sure, it actually had a coherent plot with characters who were clearly defined and different.

Each girl has a few scenes with them as a human, and a couple scenes as a zombie. Plus, YOU can be the one that rapes them.
The only gay scenes are with a femboy, and very optional.

Really appreciate the game. Love zombies and base building, and harem building.

Overview: Survive to fuck

Story: You and your classmates crash land on a island teeming with flesh eating zombies. You retreat to a small island and attempt to survive while slowly learning the secrets of the island.

Gameplay: Don't let the RPGM tag scare you off, this game is entirely menu driven with no walking around tile maps looking for exclamation points. There are a surprisingly large number of game mechanics in here as well, from turn based fighting, resource management, building, relationship grinding, and exploration, and so on.

That said, it is also a very forgiving game. You would have to try fairly hard to get a game over. If you screw up usually you only lose time. Tip: read the first post in this thread with all of the tips, they can be major time savers. Also, don't be afraid to fight zombies, you are expected to . There is a modest amount of grind, especially for materials, but once you have maxed out the appropriate skill it really isn't that bad.

There are quite a large number of endings, but thankfully they aren't mutually exclusive. You can grind most of them out one after another, with only a few that require specific playstyles. There is also a new game+ mode that helps you fast forward to different endings by seriously cutting back on the grind.

Art: Hand drawn, but somewhat simplistic and also censored. The sex scenes tend to be brief and the game is really heavy with rape. One of the things you can do is discover female zombies and rape them. This really isn't a fapping game.

Conclusion: This is a surprisingly fun game. It's only a couple of hours if you just want the basic story, a few more hours if you want to be a completionist and grind all of the endings and shoot for the highest possible score.

I only have a few quibbles. One is that the relationship grinds for most of the girls are too samey. Talk them into liking you. Pop their cherry. Get a swimsuit scene. Get another swimsuit scene where you bone them. And then they're ready to leave the island.

The other minor thing is that nobody is willing to leave the island with you unless you first romance them (or at least become buddy buddy with them), even if you build a really nice boat. Like they would prefer to slowly starve to death on a zombie infested island than be seen on a boat with you returning home?

The final note is that the difficulty level is very low. Probably a bit too low if I'm being honest. But it's better than so many other games that set the difficulty level way too high like you want to master some Dark Souls level game just to get a drawing of a boob.

I don't know what to say, it's so fucking fun to play.

Even if it's seems grindy at first it isn't that much of a grind, simple mechanics, scenes-wise it is pretty straight forward just rise trust and see an event (or just zombify them).

Has a pretty large quantity of cg's, many finals (i counted at least 15?) and a simple way of getting them (after you finish with one final it released you with hint's in the gallery and with your game as you ended).

Simple leveling, upgrades that makes play quickly, and even with so much stuff it isn't that long to 100% (maybe takes 3-4 hours).

Above all just try it.

What kind of game is this

A sandbox game set on a desert island, where you’ll have to manage resources, make friends with the survivors and, above all, avoid being eaten by the zombies lying around.

What I liked

• a varied cast of characters
• short, but sufficient dialogue to develop the characters and the storyline
• friendly resource management that leaves plenty of room for experimentation
• high-quality erotic content scattered throughout the game
• sexy zombies

What I didn’t like

• I wanted more
• many unrewarding endings

Conclusion

Zombie-Girl Island is extremely well realized, with modest ambitions but enough to make for a great time. Everything flows very well, and the grind is well-balanced. Give it a try!
