Riddled Corpses is the kind of game that I like to wind down to. Difficult enough to keep me engaged, straightforward, but with enough considerations to make it more than just pointing your gun in the right direction. Each stage is made up of multiple arenas where waves of enemies approach, with transitional moments where you fend off attacks as the screen scrolls to a new part of the stage. There’s a decent combo system that gives you a multiplier for points and damage as you chain kills, and there are destructible objects in the environment that can set enemies alight.
There’s also enough character in the sprites and enemy design that keeps it from blending in with every other twin stick zombie shooter I’ve played. The story involves demons and time travel, and honestly isn’t very engaging, but it does keep the mix of enemies and stages more interesting than the same tired archetypes that populate zombie fiction.
Right, so that’s an easy recommendation, yeah? Well, it would be, if I didn’t find its upgrade system so tiring.
