The Rare Nine reviews and comments

Product received for free Early Access review the only playable character is the old man in the middle since he is practically immortal and his attacks with bottles go through the enemies, the rest of the initial characters are very useless against a horde of 500 zombies, A pineapple per zombie every 0.50 seconds, is very stupid, you're dead before you know it, the only entertaining are some of the achievements that are fairly easy to get (and some not so much), this obviously with the old immortal. That and the music, the rest leaves a lot to be desired, the environment is a disaster, the maps are always the same as I think are 4, the missions never change and the only thing you can do with the money is to unlock passive attributes that only serve you with the old and buy Boti Quines that by the way are expensive to be of a single use.
2/10

Early Access Review
The Rare Nine is an action platform game where you have to progress into a lost world of zombies. Make your way forward by killing zombies with different tools and weapons. Beat the bosses if you can, to SURVIVE!
Graphics/Soundtrack
The Rare Nine has got, I'm not gonna lie, very poor graphics. Some will say it's because of its retro style... I will say it's♥♥♥♥♥♥ The soundtrack is better, but it gets annoying quickly. Don't get a headache, set the volume to very low when you're done with it.
Positive points : Why is it fun?
If you're addicted to blood, or if you are a serial killer, this can be much fun! But if you are a sane person (like me), you'll probably get bored quickly, or you won't find much interest in this game.
Negative points
Hmmmm, where to begin? Terrible graphics. The ones that can make you become blind... Also, for the story, it is all about murdering zombies. Don't expect something big, you just have to crush heads.
Lifetime/Worth it?
Decent lifetime, you probably won't finish the game very fast, as it is quite difficult, haha! Now is it worth the price? Hell no! 10 bucks for a game that looks like it has been made in one week? No thanks. But that's what you have to expect from an indie game sometimes.
Conclusion
Finally, I haven't enjoyed this game, but you may like it if you enjoy retro games, or gory rampage games! The price isn't really worth it, so I suggest you to wait for a little discount on it. Please also keep in mind that it is an indie, early access game. It will be updated in the future.
