Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE the concept of adapting the 'Death Troopers' novel by Joe Schreiber into a game. I think this idea has incredible potential and I'm absolutely looking forward to the future of this game, however, there are a few things I feel I should point out.
My biggest nitpick would be the size of the ESD in the beginning cinematic. Even the I-class ESD was over 1.6km (or 5200ft) in length, whereas the model in game seems to be a few hundred metres/feet at most.
The blaster fire being purple is also an interesting choice (?), as I get that it makes the game more unique, since the average trooper is equipped with a blaster that shoots green beams, but it's unrealistic in normal Star Wars canon/legends continuity. If you were to keep that uniquely purple blaster fire, I'd recommend giving the main character a more unique model, as well. Special forces or something similar, perhaps. That would explain why he was alone and in quite a unique ship, too.
Otherwise I personally have a slight issue with the length of some of the cutscenes and the gameplay mechanics, as they're a bit stiff, but I absolutely understand that this game isn't finished yet, so I feel like pointing those out in detail would be unecessary.
For a demo, it's absolutely got me hooked, even though I don't quite know where you're going to take that Vader bit. Looking forward to more from you, it's looking promising so far!
Indeed, I think they even show up in the Umbara-arc in The Clone Wars. Howeverm what I meant was, that it is unusual for a seemingly normal stormtrooper with an average E-11 to shoot purple bolts, when they usually shoot red bolts.
It isn't perfect in terms of gameplay but it is very fun regardless, and having zombies while in a Star Destroyer just makes for such cool visuals. Also, absolutely brilliant having the aim be bad by default considering you play as a Stormtrooper XD Definitely will be playing the next game very soon, cheers!
No sense trying to compare it. Aside from the name, loose zombie concept, the fact that it takes place on an ISD, and stolen artwork, this has absolutely nothing to do with the book.
This game was short and fun. it left me wanting more and i am glad it was made! thank you! for creating a fantastic mini game i hope there will be more <3
This game was absolutely wonderful! Love the Atmosphere, Aesthetic, the Horror, the Quality, the Sounds, Everything about is great. However! The sounds were just a wee bit too Loud. Do wish there was some sort of Menu Settings Option, not that it is Necessary at all. But something to fiddle with the Music and Sound Volume. Few minor bugs/glitches. But overall, this was an absolutely and greatly executed game. Please do More!
Also here is my POV on playing the game if anyone is interested (^w^)
This was an awesome game my friend!! Keep making these, you could just add weapons to find and make a great survival wave shooter! I saw you made a second Ill play that too! Really great job, fun game, great graphics and I appreciate the cinematics and cutscenes just makes it feel complete! I recommend completely!! Here is my gameplay video!

purple blasters do increased damage because they use a rare gas, they are in star wars, but are far FAR rarer than red, blue, or green blasters

Ah, sadly no option to invert mouselook, and audio is really much too loud to stream correctly in discord.
Awesome game! The mechanics were very interesting! I really enjoyed that idea of zombie clone troopers.

A very cool experience with lots of tension & atmosphere in abundance. Will be very interested to see how this progresses.
Is there any issue with the files? I keep getting an error when trying to extrac the file on windows 11. Thanks! :)
same i downloaded it at least twice and still getting the error.
I had the same issue. I was able to extract using WinZip
Unzip using 7-Zip,
Windows default (winzip) just made an error
at what point in the book does this take place?
cause i don't recall vader being in the book

👍.
Epic 5/5
Nanners decided to dive into this Zombie Star Wars game. Gotta say, it was good.
This game was short and fun. it left me wanting more and i am glad it was made! thank you! for creating a fantastic mini game i hope there will be more <3

Awesome game mate
very interesting concept! Would like to see more
What are the requirements to play this game?
.
I love this side of starwars if you continue to develop this project i would love to see where it goes.
Been waiting for something like this ever since reading the book, enjoyed the experience.
tons of bugs but its nice to experience this side of starwars lore.
This was a fun game! Loved the cut scenes and the atmosphere of the level! Can't wait to play chapter 2!
great game nice atmosphere
This demo is insane. I would easily pay 30 bucks for a finer tuned and full game expanding on this universe.
for some reason it will not start on my pc
Here is my gameplay video! Sub and help me grow my channel!
