In "Metal Dead," it's the Job of Friends Malcolm and Ronny to find the Cause of a zombie apocalypse and harmless. They have to proceed with the Help of Metal, brutal Metal and more brutal Metal as well as some Interactions with Objects as well as people.
Control: Usual Point & Click, apart from the fact that the Hint function is not on the Space key, but is called via an Interface at the top Of The Screen. Otherwise left and right Mouse button. Storage/Laden/Inventory is also available on the Interface. Tip: With the right Mouse button, interactions such as sprechen/running speeches can be changed more easily and faster than always switching to the Interface.
History: There's not a Lot of History, unfortunately, you could say it's the Splatter movie of Point & Click games. The Apocalypse has already erupted when the Game begins and the Storyline straightforward. On the whole: Finding And harmlessly scavenying Zombies. Of Course, also find the Cause and render it harmless. Make Everything harmless. But in "epically brutal metal kind," as Ronny would put it.
Humor: I think the Game is intended as a Parody to kind of everything. Usual Parodies and References such as "Ken sent me" (amazingly the Favorite Phrase from Point & Clicks) or Clischées to Doctors, Metalheads, Hippies, stoners, Cops, Etc. Are served. I was quite amused, but could understand that the Humour is too slipped out or flat for some.
Graphic Representation: Seriously: Quite funny, but rather underground. An Award definitely doesn't hail it for that. Creativity is recognizable, but also does not surface excessively out of the Latches. Again, the Game is favorable. Price performance is ok here.
Background Music: The Game is called Metal Dead. METAL DEAD! Unfortunately, there was only one proper "Metal Song" as an All-purpose weapon. In bit song quality. I would have expected more here. Otherwise for a cheap Production ok, not good, but also not bad.
Difficulty: When you have seen through the Controls, the Game is very simple. Most Of the solutions are already betrayed in Dialogue. Otherwise, you click on Ronny in the Interface, who then likes to share his Ideas with the Player. I came through very fluently until I started the Achievements.
Achievements: Here it's a little tricky (I don't know if I just fared that way). In Steam I was shown that 13 Achievements are to be reached, but as these hot ones were not shown. If you want, you can, of course, look for a Guide. Overall, the Achievements are also unlocked as soon as they have been reached and are then also available in Steam. Of the 13 Achievements, 5 can be missed if you just get the story part done, so good Mix. There is also a very low Degree of difficulty in itself. You don't have to combine much, you can miss something at most.
Verdict: Such quirky People as me, who have a seeeeeeeeeeehr flat humor and are easy to get excited about and know the one or the other old Strip (Karate Kid, Jumanji, ...) can get excited about the Game for 2-3 Hours as well as about the monotonous Background music As well as looking away relatively simple Graphics. However, If you expect a profound Story with enchanting Graphics to have a joy In Playing, you might want to forgo a Purchase or wait for a particularly cheap Deal.
