![]() Between a few missions, you’ll get a story piece which resembles more of a visual novel, and the humour is on par with the general vibe the game gives. Presentation-wise, Dustoff Z visuals are great and are accompanied by a hillbilly-type soundtrack which is as catchy as the gameplay. The missions take a couple of minutes each, and there are 30+, but they’re moreish and make you want to replay a lot of the time. Source: Screen captureĭustoff Z is as infectious as the zombie plague, and I have had a rough couple of days because I’ve been up late playing in handheld until the early hours. Two other bonuses include a wiki of the zombies you encounter, which also unlock new characters and helicopters, plus a daily mission checklist that awards you with coins when you complete the objectives. I managed to upgrade everyone, but even when maxed out, some characters work better in a level than others )my preference was the hunting rifle and flamethrower for boss battles. Missions can be replayed at any time to grind a bit, but that’s not necessary for Dustoff Z, and it’s well balanced in its challenges and upgrades, but you will have to upgrade regularly. Once ready, you can choose who sits where and equip either a melee or ranged turret ranging from miniguns to an electrified chassis. The same for the helicopters in Dustoff Z, only you can improve their armour, speed and ammo capacity. Each one is capped, depending on the weapon (flamethrower, shotgun, RPG, etc), but as you max out their capacity, the character’s appearance will change. Beanz meanz gunz.īetween each stage, you can level up your players with their damage, rate of fire and accuracy. Beans are used for people, cogs for helicoptors. ![]() The latter is used to buy people and vehicles (once unlocked) but also for upgrades. You’ll be rewarded with beans, cogs and coins. In some cases, you can fly through and do your mission without too much fuss, but if you find your levels drop, you either have to kill something or find one of the checkpoints that save and refill your vehicle.Įach level has a three-star system, which usually means completing the mission on time, and without casualties. You’ll receive drops from zombies so you’ll need to engage as and when. You have three main gauges: fuel, health and ammo – all of which can be upgraded, but also can be replenished in-game. This was probably the most irritating part – especially if you’re in a hurry (levels are timed, though you can continue when time is up). On top of this, there are a few areas with toxic smog that for some reason, bounce your helicopter back, despite being a vapour, and it’s tricky to regain control. One of the biggest criticisms of Dustoff Z, however, is the leeway between your chopper and a building as occasionally you’ll clip a derelict building when you think you’ve cleared it. Generally speaking, manoeuvring is good, and once you level up and speedy enough, you can fly through the levels with ease. Additionally, you have a winch that you can use to retrieve building parts or make-do weapons to drop on the hordes. You have a person (or a pair) on the left, another on the right and you hold R2 to attack anything in sight automatically. The latter sounds a good thing, assuming they have no zombies, but you’re restricted to a few landscapes of destruction with the zombies on the floor attempting to reach your skids and pull you down, oversized ones throwing debris at you, plus the odd environmental hazard.Ĭontrols in Dustoff Z are simple in that you move up or down, left or right. Your mission is to fly a crew of two, later more, through zombie-infested landscapes and retrieve equipment for your base, rescue survivors, protect convoys, defeat gigantic zombies and return their bodies for research, or escape to Canada. Source: PRĪs the best pilot in town, your services are needed, do you make do with what you’ve got to hand and that means building a chopper out of a school bus, Chevy or even a metallic armadillo contraption that looks like it was built by Skynet. It would appear that you are a pilot flying the illustrious Jet Ranger helicopter (yes, I’m a geek), but it’s shot down. Let’s assume you aren’t, so here’s the skinny: zombies have invaded the world of Dustoff Z, it’s time for survival, but unlike the plebs on the ground, you can fly.įlying is via way of the helicopter-mobile-machinery-thingymajig. I’m already familiar with this title from Invictus Games, which has been published by Zordix. ![]() However, the fundamental experience is here, albeit, a hard, not epic one. When I say completion, that means upgrading and locking mostly everything, but not finishing the game in the hardest difficulty.
