  First thing to get out of the way is this is NOT a Tycoon game, it's a console RTS. You control only 2 units of a fixed size of respawning zombies, 1 monster who levels and gains 4 abilities, and your leader in a mobile base where the zombies respawn. The art style and music both make the game fun to play, it's just unfortunate the gameplay itself lets it down. With so few units to control and no real abilities to trigger besides the over-powered monster you don't always have, the game is too simple and stops being fun very quickly.

  Weeelllll, this game is a bit of a rip-off if you are planning to buy it for the strategy or rts tag (because neither is correct). The campaign has only 8 missions, which are typically very, very ... slow. You have only 2 squads and a monster (which is less interesting than it sounds). The AI is pretty bad (granted they are zombies, but still). Plenty of times my zombies were just standing somewhere while my houses were being taken over or my leader unit slapped up. The cutscenes are funny, but that's pretty much what you get for your hard earned money. It is definately a nice starting point for a game, with more squads, some more skills (your leader is now just a respawn point) and maybe some more ... gameplay. It could be nice, who knows a patch or DLC will someday makes this game worth the money. For now, I'd spend it on something else. Like waffles, nothing beats waffles...

  I love this game but my master will not allow me to leave a positive review. You should definitely get it especially if you can find it for free from this one site i saw it on years ago, i can't quite remember the name but it was something Bay, oh well.... You can always pay five dollars for the game, as it will probably never go on sale again, if you were looking to save money on Steam purchasing the game, good luck!

  Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov's Revenge is a fun, but simple and relatively short, RTS (that’s right, RTS not Tycoon. Not a clue why they did that, even after reading up on why they did do that). Your first run through the game’s 8 mission campaign, which is broke up between 2 different factions of 6 different types of zombies for 4 missions each, will only be about 3-4 hours. There is some replay value in obtaining all the secondary objects if you missed them the first time around but replaying the entire campaign again might only increase the life of this title to about 6-7 hours. It is a relatively cheap title though so I’d say dollar-per-hour value is ok with this one. The real feature I say about this title, which initially sold me and kept me going through til the end, is the graphic style and the crazy amount of character put into almost every aspect of the game. Every unit in the game has a ton of personality which is more than I can say for a lot of others games. The two scientists and their zombie minions made me chuckle several times in every cutscene. The way the game looks and sounds reminds me a lot of Evil Genius which is an amazing game so good off to whoever created all the models and behaviours of all the characters. In conclusion I’d fully recommend this game to anybody looking for a cheap, simple RTS that is exploding with charm and personality and I really hope this company makes a sequel, a real tycoon game or another RTS, with expanded mechanics aimed at a PC market.

  Simple RTS probably worth playing for the campaign. Sadly limited to only a few units at a time due to controller-focused control scheme.

  Very enjoyable but no ones ever on the multiplayer and you cant play with an AI player.

  Quite possibly the WORST controll config and response ever in a game. That alone; I believe this was a waste of money.

  Very fun. Good graphics. Challenging gameplay. Snarky humor. Worth the price absolutely.
