A not quite there yet game ‘Bad Taste’ looks like it could deliver fun though still needs to finish the artwork before it can turn into the campy and fun filled 2D shooter that it was clearly meant to be. I mean Hell, look at that voice acting cast! Add in one of the writers from South Park and this is a project that we’ll be keeping our undead eyes on.
Bad Taste is a loving send up, and homage of trash cinema. The story revolves around police officer “Chet”, as he tries to escape the city of Victoria BC before it’s nuked to eradicate a zombie epidemic caused by genetically modified fast food. The game obviously taking it’s title and some inspiration from the Peter Jackson film of the same name.
Game Features:
– 20 levels of insane zombie action.
– Levels with secrets, and multiple paths.
– 5 different intense bosses to fight against.
– 40+ monsters to battle.
– Several different weapons, and items to unlock.
– Fully animated cinematics.
– Beautifully grotesque 2D backgrounds, inspired by real locations in Victoria BC.
– Voice acting by Spenny, Kenny, and additional special guests Kenny Hotz, & Lloud Kaufman.
– Soundtrack by the Finnish Band “Lodger”!Gameplay is centered around “restricted combat”, as each level will only allow the player to select 1 firearm, 1 melee, and 1 item to assist them through the stage from the pool of weapons/items the player has already unlocked. Certain firearms make noise, and will attract more zombies if shot, and some items are better suited to fighting some enemies than others, so the player will need to decide how to approach each level to maximize their score.
*In the future, the game will be expanded to include additional character campaigns, as well as random enemy encounters, more weapons, and surviors to rescue, plus Co-op.
