Generally held up in some kind of fortified position, these survivors will test your shooter skills as they flank you, flush you out with grenades, and take you down. Gameplay changes dramatically when you find yourself pitted against a group of bandits. This is another major way that OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead sets itself apart from Left 4 Dead. You’ll also want to make sure you have enough bullets for when you run into human enemies.
Overkill the walking dead generator#
I had to get all the fuses for the generator in my playthrough, and got my leg stuck in many a beatrap doing so. It’s pretty recognizable stuff, but requires some teamwork if you want things to go smoothly.

Missions are broken down into a series of sub-objectives, like finding the fuses to open a gate or gas to run a generator. I didn’t get to see a lot of potential missions in my brief demo, but I’d be surprised if OVERKILL didn’t deliver in this department. OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is broken down into various bite-sized missions, with objectives ranging from defending a stronghold to raiding an enemy stronghold. Overall, there’s enough variety to make every tool useful and cooperation necessary. If you don’t bring the wirecutters, you won’t be able to make it through fences or barbed wire.

So if you don’t have the trap disarming tool, you might find your chest full of buckshot and your feet caught in a bear trap. The world of OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is just as deadly as the zombies, full of traps and hidden pathways. The first big decision is the toolkit you bring. My limited hands on time was spent with three other noobs unfamiliar with the mechanics, and things went poorly.

So how on earth does this feel like Payday 2? Well just like Payday 2, you’ll need a wide variety of skills if you want to tackle the challenges of OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead. Having played it, I can confidently say that Overkill’s The Walking Dead isn’t dead on arrival. Not a trailer, not a hands-off presentation, but actually play the game. So imagine my surprise when the good people over at 505 Games sent me an enthusiastic invite to check out the game in a hands-on demo at E3 2018. I honestly thought that OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead would one day make it onto a list of “Horror Games We Never Got.” Two whole years of radio silence is enough time to declare most games lost at sea. Announced back in 2014, OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead has been delayed twice since it was supposed to come out in 2016. Seems like a new The Walking Dead game is about four years too late. Zombies certainly haven’t gone anywhere, but the hordes have thinned. The tide of undead swelled, rose, crashed, and inevitably fell. Years ago, waves of zombie media hit the shelves with the smash success of The Walking Dead. Another The Walking Dead game, huh? Almost seems… kind of quaint at this point.
