I trust GOG fans opinions more than review sites. So I was wondering if it was a fun game. Also is Atom Zombie Smasher any good?

I played the demo for SPAZ and I REALLY liked it, and I'm not even much of a strategy guy. I liked it a lot because I could actually get in the ship and shoot stuff (I guess that may mean I'll like the X series...)

Atom Zombie Smasher is... eh.

Yep as far as both goes.

SPAZ has that nice just arcadey enough feel to it. It flows well, the space battles are fun and they reward skill over fast clicking. I have not spent enough time with the game, but the time I spent with it was well worth it.

Atom Zombie smasher is also quite fun and addictive. It is also a surprisingly challenging game, in particular if you randomize what units you will have each mission, which will force you to constantly adapt your strategy. It is one of those games that you might find yourself playing for a lot longer than originally intended.

Everyone seems to talking about SPAZ, really need to check it out.


Played quite lot of Atom Zombie Smasher recently. In the end it is just yet another tower defence game. Art-style and the music are great, but not enough to keep on playing IMO.

I got SPAZ during the Christmas sales. As far as that type of gameplay goes, SPAZ Is pretty great. Im not that far into the game right now, so I don't know if it will manage to hold my interest all the way through. It looks like it could be a pretty long one. Even if you don't finish it, its easy to get your monies worth out of it. Assuming you like top down space shooters of course.

HOLY HELL YES, BUY IT NOW AT ANY PRICE!

Sorry for the caps, in phase 3 of the campaign right now. It is really, really fun. As well, the game made me change up tactics several times by throwing new stuff at me (maybe on subsequent playthroughs it'll all be easy, dunno). It looks daunting at first but once you tech up you can mow through star systems just stopping long enough to pick up new tech (if it even exists) or just blow open the warp gates. I also spent a lot of time trying to up my rep doing quests to get the opposite faction to sell me their stuff... then I figured out a better solution... BOOM!

I kinda liked it.

Haha, same here. The game started to feel like a grind, buying rep and farming over and over, until... BOOM! :)

OH GOD YES.

Why are you even ASKING?

Seriously, it has just the right balance of strategy, RPG development, and mindless shooting to make it perfect as a timewasting game. It does get a bit dull if you play hours on end, but it's meant to be played as a more casual game, I think...

Great game indeed this is. Nice mix of RPG and shooter game in a space theme. It gets pretty boring at some point though. You just fly from system to system, do the same missions over and over again, bribe UTA at gates or defeat them etc. And it gets very hard at chapter 4 when the zombies show up. Nevertheless a great indie game, devs said that there will be much new content in the future.

About as addicting as crack.

No, make that more. Damnit, it's off the scale, it's as addicting as TvTropes!

Yes. Yes yes yes. It's the first game in a long time that's given me that "holy hell, it's 4am and I work in three hours" feeling, which I haven't truly had since SMAX.

Slightly grindy in the later stages, but still really really fantastic. And I believe it's only ten dollars now. Go for it.
