Self-bump, my apologies. Any opinions on the current state of the game?
Dead State isn't polished, the interface design is horrible, there are still several bugs, and some incredibly stupid mechanics.
One of them was actually added with the "reanimated" update. Now the most dangerous zombies are the one facing a wall, because you cannot aggro them as easy as the others.
Fights against zombies are incredibly boring in general.
The concept and the idea of the game is cool though. It's an ok-ish, unpolished game.
And don't expect any further changes. The moderators on steam repeated multiple times that it's feature complete and the only thing which could happen is a small bugfix patch.
There is also a party member in the game which makes the game crash if you go out with him in the field.
Most of the problems I encountered on my ongoing playthrough I listed in the steam bug forum. So far there also hasn't been any developer response:

And there is the thread about attacking zombies from behind:

And here is another thread about cripple. A debuff, which completely sets enemies out of order after just one strike:

For 13,99€ I'd say it's ok. But be aware that this game isn't polished and will never be so.
