About
Combining exploration, real-time fighting and survival elements, War of the Dead offers an immersive experience for the time. The game alternates between phases of action, where Lila confronts monsters with an evolutionary arsenal, and more narrative moments, where she interacts with survivors to obtain clues and resources. The heavy atmosphere, reinforced by an anxious soundtrack, creates a permanent tension, recalling the classics of survival horror before the hour.
One of the strengths of the game is its non-linear approach: each decision affects the course of history, making each part unique. Graph War of the Dead offers varied environments and a heavy atmosphere that fully immerses the player in his hostile universe.
Anecdotes:

- The game has been played on several platforms, but the PC-Engine HuCard version maintains a more nervous and direct pace than disk versions.
