Grab The Games: Carnivore Land

It's time to present you a top-down shooter game named Carnivore Land. But what is this game? Carnivore Land is a game for Windows, Mac OS and Linux, developed in the Unity engine by dwCrew. The game flirts with the comedic horror genre and features fast paced action, tons of weapons to use and enemies to shoot. Way after the zombie apocalypse and movie clich, the war between humans and the infected has ended.

Humanity now lives in safe zones, while the rest of the world is filled with quarantined cities, mausoleums to the old society before the war, occupied only by paramilitary groups and zombies. Everything outside the safe zones either wants to add you to his caloric intake or practice his marksmanship skills on your bloody corpse, hence the nickname of the world, Carnivore Land. Along with your teammate, you are dropped into a city that has been destroyed from the war, and are tasked with finding a mysterious package. But you'll have to deal with the residents first, which include meat eating infected and paramilitary soldiers that play lets-fill-them-up-with-lead a lot. To help in your struggle against the hordes of the undead and enemy soldiers, you are equipped with your standard issued rifle and pistol. However, due to unknown paranormal reasons (must be something they ate), sometimes when killed, the zombies drop various items for you to use.

These items include some weapons (some? try over 30! yeah, over 30!), grenades, armor and silly hats (how can I look silly when I'm wearing a bloody top hat?). The first thing that I liked in this game is the graphics which are really satisfying and they put you straight into the atmosphere of the game. The soundtrack is good too and the voice acting is satisfying as well. Moreover, the opening cinematic is well designed and helps the player understand more about the story behind the game

The artillery in this game is also impressive with a lot of different and useful (or not) weapons and other gadgets for your arsenal that will help you defeat the infected. Unfortunately these are all the positive aspects of the game. The game also support multiplayer. As far as the negative are concerned, the game doesn't stand out from the rest of the top-down shooters it doesn't have a unique feature to make it unique we have seen most of the aspects in games like Hatred for example.

To sum up, the game is somewhat satisfying but it lucks unique elements to make it stand out of the other top-down shooting games.

Verdict: 7/10
