Dead Horde PC Gameplay, Introduction and Review Here

An 'Indie' game that plays from a top down perspective pitching you and an optional co-op buddy vs. mutants (humans turned into flesh eating monsters, so not quite a 'dead' horde).

This game fits into the 3rd person zombie shooter category and reminds me of Zombie Shooter, the free steam ('one level') game of Alien Swarm, Alien Breed etc.*

You (and your optional buddy) play as the military. Your helicopter has crashed and you need to make it across the maps back to your military base. You start off with an assault rifle only but this gun has unlimited ammo. You obtain money by shooting the horde and money is generally split between the players (as long as you are both alive, 'cash stash' rewards are also split but the 'finder' obtains a few extra thousand).

As you advance through the map you face different enemies, including boss mutants, such as the 'fat puking man' (cough Left4Dead cough) a jumping guy that tries to jump on your head, and large sprinting mutants. At certain points there are also weapon cache 'shops' where you can use your money to upgrade your rifle (damage, ammo clip size, rate of fire) , your grenades (damage, quantity, range). Much later on in the game you get to pay to Unlock more weapons, at which point you can then buy them and upgrade them as well. These include the shotgun, buzz saw, (don't bother buying,) a doll that draws the horde away, mini-gun (very nice), rocket launcher (friendly fire hell if you're not careful) and an electric zap gun (lacks ammo and damage).

The main problems with the game I found were:

The original indie game 'share one screen'. Both characters (if you play with a buddy) have to be on the same screen i.e. you cannot walk off and explore on your own. This gets annoying at times because in boss fights, if you go in opposite directions you end up stuck on the side and die when the boss slaps you around a bit.
There is no bullet friendly fire (FF) but explosives will cause FF. If you're sharing a screen this is bound to happen at certain times.

The game itself can be completed in a few hours, (we did it in about 4 hours), not bad I suppose for a few pounds, but in some map parts, you get 'locked in' and have to wonder up and down the map area for mutants to spawn so that you can kill them and move onto the next map. This can get annoying after you have wondered up and down for the 4th damn time, and slightly smacks of 'cheapskate' map programming.

You cannot buy med-kits at the weapon shop, this isn't too bad as kits are sometimes dropped by the enemy and after certain stages your health regenerates.

Lack of 'inside gameplay'. By this I mean you cannot enter buildings and the majority of fighting takes place outside. A minor issue but one that left me slightly disappointed.

Overall, this is an OK game with flaws but one that I can recommend that you play with a friend for a break from other gaming, but I would suggest you wait for a steam sale as the normal £8 for a single game (£12 for 2 pack) seems slightly too expensive for what it is in my opinion.

Rating 6/10.

*On a minor note:
Zombie Shooter is not co-op but quite a fun game in its own right. There is also an Alien shooter version.
Alien Breed 1 (AB) was a good single player game but not so good multi-player as there were only 3 maps, AB2 suffered from not having changeable difficulty setting on the co-op game, this meant we kept running out of ammo.
Alien Swarm consists of only 1 level but is free to play on steam, so if you haven't tried it you can.
