Pretty good game – The Walking Dead No Man's Land Review

This is perhaps the most satisfying Walking Dead-centered game I’ve come across, at least so far. The game is turn based strategy, which isn’t really my thing, but I’m getting better at it as I go along. It follows the plot of the tv series for both the main quests and the challenges, so that’s a bit fun. How the game operates with your characters is that you recruit low level ones (and some tv characters) through playing the missions. All characters have some skills to aid them in combat. The more lucrative characters (Tv show characters) are acquired through a “fragment” system, and getting fragments will upgrade their star level and skills. For the regular characters, you collect their class fragments. For games on this system, the fragments required and their ready availability are a good determiner of how worthwhile the game is. The fragments are uncommon and rare but not impossible due to the special “TV show Season” challenges and their availability in the shop for special resources, but you can’t farm the same challenge over and over. That being said, I’ve unlocked a few player characters through playing the challenges alone. When it comes to weapons and armor, rare ones drop very easily in the rewards screen after missions. Very easily. There exists a special currency, gold, but you can save and collect it through mission drops, achievements, and small freebies available intermittently in the shop. You do NOT need money to have fun in this game. I haven’t felt the need to spend money once. You just need to take your time and slowly work your way toward effective characters. This game thankfully is more focused on your personal journey than how you interact with other players, but there are guilds for you to join so you can work toward challenges and rewards, and there is an “outpost” system where you raid other players. Those are really the only PVP in the game, though granted I am currently writing this as a lvl 15. The game keeps you pretty engaged, at least at first, throwing seconds-long wait times for upgrading and building and training to get you started and hooked. I’m unsure if the wait times were so short because I was a new player or if it was because I started playing during the “generous” holiday season of Christmas, but at some point the wait times become 10, 30 minutes or hours and you can’t upgrade weapons or train while upgrading the buildings and vice versa. I should just mention the inevitable energy system, but you have the potential to get a bit more energy through reward drops and watching an ad or two. XP is used to upgrade weapons and armor as well as your fighters, and only by upgrading buildings can you earn personal player experience that will level you up and allow you to upgrade even more buildings and heroes, etc. I would try this game out. I’m very picky with my games but so far this does its job in entertaining me when I need something to pass the time for a bit. I should warn everyone that this game requires a steady connection. If you lose it, the game will reset itself a few minutes back, but I’ve never lost out on a reward or had my supplies not given back due to the malfunction.
