Scaring the Living Daylights of Everyone

VR Battles Against the Walkers
The game took its premise and story from its TV counterpart. Like the series, it follows Rick Grimes and his traveling band of survivors as they fight their way for survival against the Walkers and his other hostile humans. Players can take on the role of their favorite The Walking Dead character beside Deputy Rick Grimes. This includes Daryl Dixon, Queen Carol Peletier, and Michonne. As mentioned, the game is showcased in virtual reality providing you a close encounter with both your companions and enemies. It comes with a very minimalist user interface with the health bar placed on the arm, and the firearm ammunition located beside the gun.
Players must use their pair of wireless controllers to hit or shoot Walkers. They have to find melee and ranged weapons, as well as explosives across the game environment. The screen turns bloody red if they got scratched or bitten by the Walkers. One of the game’s most iconic feature is the visceral combat experience and enemy dismemberment system. Fans can expect very bloody and brutal executions against the Walkers. The Walkers can be dismembered but in a realistic manner. Players can remove Walker limbs, inflict deep wounds and impale them with sharp weapons.
The physics system also affects the player movement. Sometimes the melee weapon might get stuck after a successful katana or machete slash. Players may also experience resistance when pulling out their weapons from an enemy. There is also a grappling system that allows tactical maneuvers. This way players can shove off Walkers which grabs them. They can also restrain Walkers for them to deliver fatal strikes or precise aim.
Let’s Get Visceral
The Walking Dead Onslaught lets fans dive into The Walking Dead world without getting themselves mauled by Walkers. This game emphasizes precision and tactics, unlike other zombie survival games where players go guns ablaze. Fans can finally fulfill their fantasy of fighting the Walkers in virtual reality.
