Games Master UKDec 25, 2013It's incredibly dumb, yes, but it works. [Jan 2014, p.82]

Nov 8, 2013Enjoyable, inventive, and great delivery by developers Modern Dream, Typing of the Dead is a curio but one that definitely requires a few moments of attention. If you like typing really quick, zombies, and wisecracking: look no further.

Nov 8, 2013The novelty of typing the phrases 'male crime sim' and 'flowers to womans', although hilarious in the first few stages, starts to fade a little without that ancient Sega charm. You realise that you're just retreading the slightly toothless plot of a game that you didn't ever feel nostalgic about. The bromancing leads start to get tiresome. And then you need a gin and tonic.

Nov 6, 2013I think criticising it for being ugly and short is to miss the point. This is a no holds barred novelty amusement. It is stupid and dumb and very, very fun.

Nov 12, 2013The Typing of the Dead is stark-raving bonkers, yes, but it’s that lunacy that keeps you wanting to play.

Jan 2, 2014Everybody probably doesn’t love grindhouse humour and rail shooters in 2013. But there is no game like Typing of the Dead: Overkill. Together with the upcoming co-op mode it might be a future cult classic.

Nov 6, 2013The Typing of the Dead: Overkill is an interesting but questionable attempt to deliver a mix of typing game and lightgun shooter.
