Survival Crisis Z: Difference between revisions

Rabid dog bites mailman. Rabid mailman bites dog owner. [[Zombie Apocalypse|Citizens start biting other citizens]]. Armed militias start fighting against the dug-in remnants of the police. [[Mind Screw|Stranger things start happening]]. Civilization breaks down. And now you're out in all this, [[Wide Open Sandbox|working for/against the police and the militia, bartering for goods and weapons, claiming territory from the zombie hordes or fighting the police and militia for it, investigating the strange phenomena, and just generally surviving.]]

 

Alternatively, just shoot waves of flesh-eating revenants to earn points and win fabulous unlockable widgets and minigames in [[Kobayashi Mario|Arcade Mode]].

 

 

 

* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]

* [[An Entrepreneur Is You]]: You can buy and sell commodities at safehouses, and trading them around is a decent way to build up a good cash reserve.

* [[Attack Drone]]: One of the powerups in arcade mode.

** He/she also happens to be the best starting class for beginners. The [[Walk It Off]] ability will let you save your health items and money for when you really need it, and the [[Revolvers Are Just Better|starting weapon]] can [[One-Hit Kill|kill basic zombies in one hit]], has (relatively) plentiful ammo, and never becomes entirely worthless. Also, [[Rule of Cool|it's awesome]].

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Distinguishes male models from female ones. Y'know, just in case you missed it [[Male Gaze|at first glance]].

* [[Chainsaw Good]]: You can purchase a chainsaw as a more useful replacement for the [[Emergency Weapon|knife]].

** Actually subverted, as unless {{spoiler|you're on a dirtbike}}, using the chainsaw is still a very good way to get yourself killed.

** And when you encounter them, the background changes to a bloodstained complex with words written in blood ranging from threats to pleas for help. Fun stuff.

*** And it's highly likely you'll meet them long before they're properly introduced in the third chapter. You could just be walking along an alley when BAM POW MOTHERFUCKER GORE EVERYWHERE DEMONIC CHILDREN WITH KNIVES CRIES FOR HELP WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: In ''spades.'' Incessent tittering and giggling, demonic white noise that cuts in and out at random, the wailing and screaming of certain enemies...

* [[It Got Worse]]: Act 1 is your typical [[Zombie Apocalypse]] with some [[Body Horror]]. Act 2 has considerably more [[Body Horror]] and is considerably more eerie. Act 3 drops the pleasantries and dives head on into high octane [[Surreal Horror]].

* [[Kobayashi Mario]]: Arcade mode

* [[Laughing Mad]]: See [[Giggling Villain]].

* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: One rare item allows you to summon an AI helper dressed in a devil costume and monocle armed with a flamethrower. He's quite handy.

** Occasionally, one of the zombies is a giant mutant smiley face. There are also swarms of tux-wears in top hats.

* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: One of the powerups in arcade mode is a self-propelled shopping cart that you drive like a car. Seriously. And it smushes zombies like it's nobody's business.

* [[Molotov Cocktail]]

* [[Musical Spoiler]]: Of the "basic beat with more instruments added as the situation worsens" variety. Not too spoiler-y since the music change occurs ''alongside'' whatever's happening, but oftentimes the first clue that the quiet, unassuming building you just entered is a zombie-infested death trap is the musical explosion that just deafened you.

* [[Nocturnal Mooks]]: Zombies appear in more varieties and larger numbers at night, as well as... [[Surreal Horror|other things]].

* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Arguably, the best early-game weapon

* [[RPG Elements]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]: The Tesla devices. Quite handy during building takeovers. Also, the EMP bombs, which are like one-shot Tesla devices in grenade form.

* [[The Siege]]: When you try to take over ownership of a building, you will have to fend off squads of militia and police, or hordes of zombies if you're claiming a neutral building.

* [[Surreal Horror]]: Definitely has elements of it.

* [[Survival Horror]]: Well, obviously.

* [[Talkative Loon|Talkative Loons]]: "Hahaha! Talk! [[Transformation Trauma|Talk talk talk!]]"

* [[That One Level]]: A mission that involves killing swarms of the fat, explosive zombies. They're the only zombie that spawn, and the chain reaction blasts will probably kill you a few dozen times.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The friendly/neutral human AI is pretty stupid. It gets very annoying when the person your escorting decides to run off and fight all the zombies with a freakin' ''knife''!

** Sometimes an entire horde of zombies can appear out of nowhere and swarm you.

* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Of course!

* [[Zombie Infectee]]: AI buddies who are low on health and have been zombie-bitten will eventually turn into fast-moving Infected if you don't rest them at an Inn or give them medical attention.

** Contrary to the trope, though, is that your buddies usually request you or another AI buddy to kill them before they turn. You can't actually attack them before they turn, but it's good to know you have their consent.
