What players say
I finally got around to playing this game, I have no clue how long it has been in my library. While needing a break from what I was currently rotating, i jumped through my collections looking for something I had not tried in my library yet and landed on Splatter. I beat the main story and had a blast in survival for a little over 7 hours. I enjoyed this all the way through, it's old so it has it's flaws, but to take...

A very good top-down zombie game from a small studio. It is quite short, but very engaging, with a well-made gameplay system, a good variety of weapons, a well-balanced difficulty and a story that is enjoyable to follow. There is not much to criticize, especially at its price. Definitely worth playing. 100% Steam Achievements Time: 10 hours Completion Difficulty: 3/10 Playthrough: 2 Missable: Yes Guide Recommended...
