Dinsun Review
I've killed enough zombies in my lifetime to fill a small country, so a game needs to bring something unique to the table for me to care. They Are Coming manages to do that with its physics. The way the zombies react to being hit—stumbling over each other, falling apart—is actually quite fun to watch. It’s got that old-school Flash game feel, back when games were more about visceral feedback than trying to sell you a battle pass. The weapon variety is solid, and there’s a genuine sense of panic when a massive wave starts closing in.
But after a few hours, the cracks start to show. The progression is slow, and you'll find yourself replaying the same early stages repeatedly just to afford a decent gun. It’s also a bit of a one-trick pony; once you’ve seen a hundred zombies explode into pixels, you’ve seen them all. It’s a 64—great for killing ten minutes while waiting for the train, but it’s not going to be anyone’s Game of the Year. It’s honest, brutal fun, but it’s limited.
