My thoughts on Zombie retreat

Pros:

  • Games got a pretty good gameplay loop where you leave the safe house to find supplies or do missions, talk to the girls for more missions or to fuck. Or just sit on the bench as you wait for the time to pass.
  • Boss fights are pretty good. My favorite is the plant boss.
  • Love the baseball bat despite it’s short range. Just wacking a zombie with this is enjoyable.

Neutrals:

  • The art is subjective. If you don’t mind every girl having giant boobs then you might enjoy yourself. If not you’re going to roll your eyes.
  • Also there is a noticeable difference in quality in some art like the earlier sex scenes. This is obvious when comparing Ashley with the rest of the girls. Even her swim suit look like it was pasted on.
  • Don’t really see much of a difference between the pistol and crossbow. Might be a distance thing with the crossbow having worse range.
  • Don’t like that if you want to change the outfit of one girl, all the girls in the set must change their costume so you can’t get Ashley out of her swimsuit into something more comfortable without changing Rachel and Leslie.
  • I don’t really care about the main girls…And Talia. But I do like Natsaha for having agency in her own plot with her sister(even if she’s not allowed to be in the confrontation) and Cherry, Jessie who has a bit of an edge to her, and the crazy sexy plant lady.
  • The protagonist may be a vector for players to project onto but at least he has a face.

Cons:

  • There is no plot at all. We have people that could be described as characters but there isn’t really a plot. I don’t even think the main mystery gets solved, just some setup for the sequel.
  • Serena is also a pointless villain. She doesn't really do much and I don’t think she was even behind the outbreak, some robed lady was. There’s no emotional or thematic connection for the player just makes the final boss fell like it’s just there.
  • The drop rate for the NightShade Berry’s is horribly low and you need them to make the antidote to progress the game. Yes, I know their are easier ways to get them Berries later but I mean getting two more just to get the first antidote.
  • And I know I keep bringing this but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WOMEN THE ZOMBIES TOOK?! That is a giant loose end that is never brought up.

Yeah, it's kinda weird to have this "zombies with a lust-inducing touch" thing going on and then... do almost nothing with it.

Really, not much would change if it had just been classic flesh-eating zombies.
