Trapped Dead

Mechanics

When developing the game, the creators drew their inspirations from the Commandos series. In the PC release of Trapped Dead, players get to control a group of survivors – one does not have a direct control over his characters, instead, a player can issue orders with the mouse (as in RTS games). Each member of the survivors group exhibits unique assets and weaknesses. The key to success lies in the proper utilization of the characters’ strengths. The core of the gameplay, even though based on the mechanics known from strategy games, features strong elements of arcade and logical games.

Technical aspects

The action is presented from a top-down perspective; however, a player has a significant control over the camera. The developers prepared an elaborate story mode, which can be completed in both single and cooperative modes – the latter one allows up to three players to their forces in fighting the zombies.
