Overall, School Girl/Zombie Hunter gives you about as much depth as you’d expect from the title. I hope to see Tamsoft continue to develop new IPs, but hopefully next time they’ll give the game a good amount of QA before pushing it to release. Like a stated before, if you enjoy mindlessly killing zombies and half-naked anime girls than you might find a great deal of fun in School Girl/Zombie Hunter, but if you’re looking for a decent playing experience, I feel like you’d be let down. Throw in the most perfect take on trashy B-grade horror that I’ve ever seen in a game, and there are not many other games released this year that I’ve had more fun with than this one. It has a brilliant little gameplay loop that certainly has its bugs and low-budget irritations, but never stops being utterly entertaining. School Girl / Zombie Hunter is not the longest game, which makes it ideal for quick bursts of fun. Until then, I’m going to get back to killing zom zoms. After I spend a bit more time with the content on offer, I’ll get back to you with a concrete verdict. There’s definitely some promise here, but it remains to be seen if it can deliver throughout. Zombie makeup falls well below the state of the art for low-budget horror, and little attempt is made to block gotcha scenes plausibly: A character might be in the middle of an open field in one shot, then turn around in the next to find a zombie ready to disembowel him.I’m at a point right now where I’m trying to decide if it’s “so bad it’s good” or leaning towards the former half of that phrase. It takes a young man to lead that kind of mission, and as Jesus tells us (in one of a few out-of-place winks to the geek crowd) “I’m getting too old for this shit.” But getting there requires going through a town whose name, Dahmer, hints at the kind of cannibal creeps hoping to keep them from their destination. The hunter falls in with some refugees led by Trejo’s Jesus, and together they head toward a possible means of escape. (Later, when King offers a Top Gun-wannabe sex scene, it’s hard to imagine he wasn’t.)

It seems humanity has been zombified by addiction to a new drug called “Natas” (ask your five year-old what that says backwards), and real men cruise the desert splattering blood on the lens (an effect the film never tires of) while putting these junkies out of their misery. The titular hunter (“I don’t have a name,” he explains, waiting a beat: “not anymore”), played by Martin Copping, introduces us to this post-apocalyptic world in voiceover resembling a 14 year-old’s Dirty Harry impersonation. Here, first-timer Kevin King seems to be aiming for the mark not of George Romero or Lucio Fulci but of the worst work by Robert Rodriguez. We’re a few generations removed from the films that got this genre off the ground. Danny Trejo‘s fanboy popularity won’t be enough to drag this corpse off the festival circuit, though it’s likely to generate some remorse-inspiring clicks on VOD. MONTREAL - The undead craze reaches the bottom of the barrel in Kevin King‘s Zombie Hunter, which may or may not have been intended as parody but produces none of the laughs that might support that categorization.
