Fight walkers as Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon and Michonne in a brutal arcade brawler set in the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Face ruthless enemies like the Saviors and overwhelming walker swarms as you unleash relentless combos, signature weapon attacks, and crushing finishers.
Sadly, I feel The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival misses the mark in some key areas. While the combat is fine, and fans of the show will be glad to reunite with the core main characters, the lack of voice acting and general atmosphere I associate with The Walking Dead meant it didn't quite engage me as much as I'd hoped.
I honestly can't recommend The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival to anyone but hardcore fans of the show, and even then it's a hard sell. While visually a gorgeous game, that is nowhere near enough to save it from the poorly designed gameplay. Committing some cardinal sins of beat ‘em ups of a single combo to execute and no multiplayer unfortunately...
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival works well as a nostalgic experience of moments from the TV series. But for those looking for a new great Beat 'em Up, however, the limitations of a production that presents good ideas but doesn't always manage to fully develop them become more evident.
While there may be some mileage here for die hard Walking Dead fans, newcomers may feel a bit lost, and the gameplay can have a tendency to get tedious at times
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is more Walking Dead than Streets of Rage. The fan service will delight fans with nods to the series scattered throughout the adventure and several iconic characters.
