Inevitable Demo

Whether the world is going to end with a zombie apocalypse or not is still up for debate, because you’ve got to convince the Skynet supporters and somehow reason with those who think that they are asleep inside the Matrix. However, a virus that takes over the human brain is not that difficult to imagine, which is why the genre had and still has so much success in the entertainment business.

Inevitable is a basic survival game with shoot ‘em up elements and an obvious zombie theme. Hence, your main goal is to stay alive and kill as many zombies along the way.In order to do that, the game provides you with a hefty collection of weapons, all of which have different effects on the creatures and they can make your job easier, or at least more fun.

There is no story to take into consideration, which means that you can imagine whatever you like instead of the plot and still be right. However, the lack of story makes the experience feel cheap and rushed, especially since it seems like the designers tried to include some kind of horror factor. Without a plot, every attempt to scare the audience is pretty much useless.

Each wave you have to survive is pretty much the same, which means that it gets repetitive in a rush. Shooting the zombies is not difficult, but the weapons do not always respond accurately to your input and it takes forever to reload. One might argue that it truly does take a long time to reload a weapon, but the argument falls flat if you have to fire the said gun at a horde of indigo monsters that want to eat brains.

The visual aspect is a disaster as well, mostly because the designers associated horror with darkness and tried to include a lot of it. Hence, you can barely see what’s happening on the screen, not to mention the fact that the actual zombies are black too. Sure, the problem goes away when the level tileset changes, but you might not make it that far before deleting the game.

In the end, there are not many positive things one can say about Inevitable, if any. Hence, in case you really enjoy survival games and zombies, you might want to try something else, because there are definitely better games out there.
