Keldyn Interactive send word that a single-level demo of their zombie-slaying action game Dead Meets Lead, is now available. You can get the demo, called The Challenge, just here. I’ve also posted the most recently trailer below, so that you can elucidate the game concept by sitting still and staring. Hooray!
I want crimsonland 2.

YES.

So his sword is made out of lead?
report
Must be his name. Or his position in his garage rock band’s guitar pecking order.
report
So to keep the rhyming scheme we must assume he is also a Glaswegian.

Lead more appropriately matches my interest in it. Sinking fast.
report
Looks fun, like an insta-gib diablo/torchlight.
RAGE LEVEL 2!
report
It’s kinda fun but it’s no Nation Red.
report
I’ll wait for LeChuck’s Revenge

I thought he was just beating up Army Men.

I really tend to love the Crimsonland / Zombie Shooter, modern Robotron/SmashTV-style games. They’re rarely done well, but when they are, they’re sublime. Loved Zombie Shooter 1 & Alien Shooter 2 from Sigma Team. Have yet to try this demo, but I’ve been looking for a newer one now that Sigma Team kind of dropped the ball on Zombie Shooter 2.
How does this compare? Is Nation Red any good? I’ve heard a grip of mixed things about it.

In case anyone happens across this article again when deciding whether or not to buy this game, let me just say you should probably go with “no”. I had trouble finding a lot of info on it, and seeing a few people compare it to Crimsonland eventually made me say “what the hell” and buy it. It’s nothing like crimsonland. It is, in fact, remarkably dull. Through the 3 maps I played, you pretty much just smack the attack button repeatedly to swipe your sword at crowds of zombie, maybe occasionally hitting the right-mouse button to stun them before carrying on with your left-mouse spamming. Dull and boring. Maybe it gets better later, but not only do I doubt that, if a game isn’t interesting by the time you’re done with map 3, it probably doesn’t deserve a 4th chance to bring the fun.
