Death Rover: Space Zombie Race

Alex SemReviewer
Death Rover is a physics-based arcade racing game where we traverse the rough terrains of alien planets to kill enemies and earn money that we then spend on upgrading our vehicle.

Our goal is to beat seven unique off-road tracks on seven different planets that each vary in both visuals and strength of gravity. We control our 2D side-scrolling vehicle by accelerating, breaking, activating a powerful jet engine at the right moments, and using stabilizers to rotate mid-air – all to create as much traction with the uneven ground as possible.

We also encounter destructible crates and mindless zombie creatures on our way. We dispose of these using sharp blade-like weapons and an on-board cannon with limited ammo.

No matter how well we play, it’s impossible to complete new tracks in a single attempt as we eventually run out of battery power. Thankfully, we can spend our accumulated currency on useful upgrades at our garage. These include better engines that accelerate faster, better suspension so we don’t bounce as much, better tires that increase traction, more fuel capacity, and much more.

What I didn't like is that the layout of each level never changes between runs, and it's only possible to reach the end of it once we've upgraded everything to the max. This eliminates any sense of challenge and turns the gameplay into a repetitive grinding process.

Death Rover monetizes via occasional skippable ads, and iAPs for additional in-game currency. However, these purchases are not needed to progress. Since this game is all about retrying and grinding, it's best enjoyed in short sessions, which is exactly how I personally liked it.
