Hunters of the Dead - PC Game Review

Hunters of the Dead is a Tower Defense (kind of) and strategic game where you fight several monsters while trying to kill Dracula.

You start with a single building and defender, and you can at each day (turn) try to clear another building. There is a chance of a battle, and if you survive it you get the benefits of the screen below - such as a new defender, faster healing, new guns, etc.

Except for the battles, you might have seen this as a flash game (using a zombie wasteland) before.

Battle takes place with a grid where you put your defenders - which might remind you of Plants vs Zombies, except that you can actually move your defenders a few times. Every defender has experience that rises when it kills an enemy, and can receive guns you collect at guns stores. They also need to heal and to rest every few rounds, which can be very bad (i.e.: at starting levels it is very easy to have all your defenders resting).

The game grid is random, and the game itself is very hard. It uses an evolutionary system by the gold you get for kills - after the end of the game, you can use that gold to purchase upgrades, such as a tougher tower, more starting defenders, starting defender's level and more.

I can't say that I have won yet, but at least I am halfway through the upgrades :-) .

Overall, pretty fun. The graphics are a little simple, but that doesn't affect the gameplay at all.
