RPG 20 March 2015

Developed by Bigmoon Entertainment, Trapped Dead: Lockdown is an action RPG with a top-down perspective and is a continuation of the 2010 tactical RTS - Trapped Dead. The game takes the players to a small American town overrun by hordes of the living dead. The player assumes the role of one of the five available characters tasked with getting into the city before it is locked down by the army. Upon reaching the town, one literally has to hack his way through all the zombies that cross his path. Unlike its predecessor, Trapped Dead: Lockdown puts a strong emphasis on the hack’n’slash elements and builds mainly on the action that occasionally features some RPG mechanics. Each character exhibits unique flaws, assets, abilities and a dedicated development tree. During the game, one can use three types of weapons depending on the type of encountered enemies, who differ in terms of the fighting techniques and preferred strategies.

A tactical RTS following the convention started by the iconic Commandos series. Developed by Headup Games, Trapped Dead is a game that takes the players to an alternate reality of the 1980s, in which one gets to travel to a town of Hedge Hill, Missouri. The main protagonists – Mike and Gerald – reach the town right at the time when a mysterious virus starts to transform the townsfolk into bloodthirsty zombies. The action is presented from a top-down perspective, however, the player has a significant control over the camera. The players get a group of heroes fighting for survival at their disposal, each one exhibiting unique strong points and weaknesses. The key to success lies in the proper utilization of the characters’ strengths. The game heavily emphasizes the tactical aspect of the game, wchich features many logic and arcade elements. What is worth mentioning, the story campaign can be completed in both single and cooperative modes – the latter one allows up to three players to join their forces in fighting the zombies.
