A Trip to the Past: Zombie Assaultv3.0status (Open. Tiny Lag)

Our first place review! It's a pretty old one too, but it was one of the best old ones out there!

Zombie Assault was one of the games that really took advantage of what ROBLOX had to offer. Let me remind you that this was 2008. ROBLOX games didn't have this kind of stuff in most of the games.

Anyway. The game is broken. It doesn't work anymore, sadly. The only way I can write this review, is purely off memory, and this was well over 5 years ago, so bear with me.

Zombie Assault followed a linear plot. You're in a squad of people who are trying to save some important figures (like Builderman) in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The game wasn't very detailed, but it worked. Guns ranged from pistols to machine guns. I think there was a shotgun or a rifle, but I don't remember which one was it. There was VIP too. I believe VIP got a Desert Eagle, an armour buff, and you could join the game at any time you wanted! Pretty handy.

You may be asking yourself how any of this was revolutionary. Well, the entire game ran on scripted scenes. This was literally unheard of in ROBLOX. Everything was on scripted scenes; from the zombies spawning, to even doors opening. The most iconic one was a truck blasting by, killing anyone it touched! The game had an emphasis on teamwork. You could die pretty easily if you're not careful. The game used the old pop up script to let people know what was happening.

There was also a sequel planned! Unfortunately, Blade3rd supposedly quit ROBLOX on September 8, 2008. This left Zombie Assault 2: Day of Reckoning forever at 10% completion. We were,

however, left with a few plot spoilers by a user who was working with Blade3rd, or was a sibling of his.

The post is as follows:

"SPOILER! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!
This game will have a girl, the commander's daughter, named Melody. She is an explosives expert and she will be following Team 1. Team 2(Yes this game will have 2 teams) will be hard mode and will be providing support for Team 1, Team 2 is really the behind-the-scenes workers. There will be NPC vehicles and a Boss battle. Hope this brings more fans!
Wow..It HAS to come out soon..but blade3rd said 1st one took 3 months...guess we'll have to wait eh?"

This post was made by l3loodwolf 5 years ago. This is the only info on the game we have, and it will be probably forever. Let me tell you, this sounded extremely ambitious for the time. But it was Blade3rd. He could do it. He was a legend at building games.

He may be forgotten, but the mark he left on ROBLOX won't be forgotten.
