It had to happen. Here's the digitalfoundry take on disaster that is The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival.
may have made headlines at the time, it turns out that the Nintendo eShop is becoming the landfill of the digital age. Every week, the shop is flooded with a selection of low-budget rubbish that would make Steam blush. However, I was not prepared for the journey I would soon take with The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival and other 'games' produced by the junk factory known as West Connection Limited.
The game begins with the Unity splash screen, followed by a completely static title screen that resembles the key art from UbiSoft's The Division. You're presented with three options - New Game, Loading and Controls. If you choose New Game, you're treated to a series of still images, with poorly written slides explaining the situation. The premise involves a time machine, zombies and the government.
Once you reach the bottom of the stairs, however, you're greeted by a much longer loading screen that eventually takes you into the city. The entirety of this game takes place in and around this U-shaped street littered with zombies and muscle cars. The world is slathered in low resolution, repeating textures with virtually no lighting. Shadows are exceptionally low-res and barely coherent.
Here's how Eva stacks up against Ellie - as you can see, West Connection opted to use a low-quality bootleg of Ellie's model with the same outfit and design. There's no lighting, shading or detail present here and what's up with those eyes? This means, if you nail every single shot and every bat swing, while never running, you can kill 46 zombies with your firearms and 12 zombies with the bat, making that 58 enemies. Add another eight zombies or so if you count the Molotov cocktail. There are roughly three to four times that many zombies total in this game. Why does this matter? Well, in certain circumstances, if you waste even one bullet, you can wind up in an unwinnable situation.
These games, produced by students at a local German university, absolutely wipe the floor with anything West Connection Limited has produced.
