Space Pirates and Zombies (DEMO)
Jun 15, 2011 Demo 0 commentsThis is a demo for Space Pirates and Zombies. It contains about 90 minutes of gameplay. The demo contains the first two star systems you will reach in...
At its core, Space Pirates and Zombies is an action based, skill oriented, top down space combat game. It’s similar to the ones we knew and loved in years past, but now using
full physics simulation and modern graphics for those oh so pretty explosions. But as you dig deeper, SPAZ becomes much more.
Instead of flying a single ship, you are in charge of an ever growing and evolving fleet, unlocking the rich tactical elements of SPAZ, all accessed at the touch of a button. Issue orders, change ships, apply fleet AI settings, all on the fly. At any moment the battle can change, and the Tactics Panel gives you the tools to make the battle turn in your favor.
As a layer on top of the action and tactics, we have a detailed technology and levelup system akin to what you would expect from an RPG. Learn to build new ships by destroying your enemies. Explore the galaxy to find components, use your hard earned research points to unlock their potential, and then customize every aspect of your new fleet.
Finally, there is the universe in which all this strife and adventure takes place. SPAZ features a persistent randomly generated Galaxy populated with story elements, factions, enemies, missions, items, to provide you with a unique experience each time you play. While you are struggling to survive, uncover the secret of an ever expanding Zombie infestation that spreads by establishing its own real time multi-tiered ecosystem.

... like most Australian's we totally missed Halloween (it isn't that big downunder!) but figured it is never too late to run a quick 2 day sale for a spectacular game (and also promote a kick-ass free mod). Don't worry we have already marked XMAS in our calendars and don't intend on missing it!
No Indie scare pack would be complete without Amnesia, bundle this with the frightening amount of custom content and you wont be sleeping for weeks, or ever again *evil laugh*!
Halloween in Space? You betcha thanks to a Halloween mod now in the latest release of SPAZ...
What happens when hell is full to the brim with dudes of the dead variety? They overflow into our world, duh! No More Room in Hell has been resurrected and will be released right here on Desura for the very first time!

Looks cool, dling demo, from the screenshots it looks a bit like Gratuitous Space Battles, IMHO
