Still, after a few minutes of button-mashing and nightstick-swinging, I survived. Anything is better than the flailing mess of a fight that ensued in which I was constantly dragged to the ground by a crawling, err. Maybe I swung a katana around like a badass ninja, or crafted a spiked baseball bat and went to town like Negan. I beg that you just picture something really cool. This is a fight to the death, my big action scene. I'm starving, carrying way too many nightsticks, and extremely tired. Well, before I could even get inside and start munching, two more walkers shamble around the corner. Tinned food is like gold in the apocalypse, so cupboards stocked with the stuff is like finding a dragon’s hoard at the end of a dungeon. A short trek through the forest and a few close calls with the undead later, I stumble upon a small house that surely contains food. This apocalypse stuff is way harder than they make it look on TV.Īfter frantically searching the fire station for food and finding absolutely nothing (not even a cracker), I head back out. Another lie from my favourite zombie show. Maybe I should just log off and hope that Zomboid places heaps of food in my cupboards before the next session. Wait, did someone mention starving? People don’t starve in The Walking Dead, right? They find entire functional farms and magic up infrastructure between seasons. I could live quietly, peacefully, and without drama, like all of those The Walking Dead time skips when nothing eventful happens. Somewhere to hide and hopefully not starve. For me, it's the fire station that I've always dreamed of. A promise of new stories to come and new adventures to be had. For some, it’s a lost relative, or a potential cure or a glimpse of their hometown on the horizon. That thing that the protagonist searches for and always finds towards the end of the season. Maybe The Walking Dead is accurate and dealing with hordes of the ravenous undead is a piece of cake.Īs I look up from the blood-covered battleground, I lay eyes on the golden goose. I make a lot of noise and experience some very close calls that almost end Zomboid Hayden before his life really gets going. You could (and should) picture me cutting throats and chopping heads, quickly gutting every zed in my path. With that, my stealth kill montage begins. If I manage to take down all of those walkers, I can take this car and make my way to Louisville, which is the biggest city in Zomboid. #CLICK AND DRAG THE WALKING DEAD TV#So, like my favourite TV heroes, I hatch a cunning plan. I could smash a window, but I don't want to risk alerting the horde of undead lurking further down the street. With corpses starting to litter the car park and the light starting to fade, I quickly loop around and check all of the cars. The fight was intense, but my plot armour (and all of those police batons I found) helped me survive. If I’ve learned anything from The Walking Dead and a lot of other zombie fiction, it’s to never actually say the word "zombie" when you’re in the apocalypse. The Walking Dead makes it very clear that you should head straight to the nearest big city, so I wander over to some nearby vehicles, only to come face to face with my biggest foe: walkers, zeds, shamblers, or freaks. Despite my flawed character build, this is looking like a decent start.Īfter leaving the police station, I start looking around for a car. Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to find big cabinets filled with guns, but there are some sturdy clothes that should protect me from bites and other brain-eating nastiness. You can mow down hordes of the undead and get nothing but a scratch if you’re the main character, and I’m definitely the main character in my Zomboid save, so I have plenty of plot armour. That show makes it pretty clear that guns are perfect in the apocalypse. I explore the station further, hoping to find an armoury stocked with guns and ammo like in the premiere of The Walking Dead. I’m not sure what I did to be in there, but hey, I'm not in a jail cell so there’s that. Why does everyone in the RPS treehouse have nightsticks in their desks? As I comb through the desks hoping for half-eaten apples and any other apocalyptic delights to munch on, I find a strange amount of nightsticks. Maybe RPS crumbled and I’m the only one left. It all kicks off in some kind of abandoned office. Maybe the great flaw that I'll overcome is being completely unprepared for the apocalypse in every way possible. Most classic heroes are defined by their flaws, after all. Still, I think he’s poised for greatness. A sleepy, clumsy, disorganised guy with poor eyesight and hearing. Zomboid asks you to pick from a list of positive and negative traits, and I got a lot of negatives. My Zomboid character was modeled as close to me as possible, which ended up being a very bad character build.
