Yea containment is an understatement... I was puzzled by that In Containment the Zombie Puzzler it's a game that... well, puzzles you. No, I mean you have to solve puzzles that are, well... puzzling. No, that's not right either. Let me start over. Containment the Zombie Puzzler isn't really a puzzle game. It's more of a strategy game. The strategy is to contain zombies with matching units fast enough to...

Picked this up on a bundle, never play it until now and I really enjoyed it. The core mechanic of surrounding zombies with matching survivors sounds simple, but the time pressure as zombies infect your people keeps things tense and engaging. It's essentially a match-style puzzler with a zombie skin, and that works better than it has any right to. The power-ups like grenades, sniper shots, and Molotovs add a nice...

Puzzle games seem so sleek and perfected now, but stumbling out of the shadows comes a low budget, low production, yet solid, entertaining and engaging puzzler for your brain to chew on. Containment: The Zombie Puzzler is a tile based puzzle game where you need to surround zombies with matching people. Once you've surrounded a cluster of zombies with pink scientists, yellow punks, blue officers or green soldiers they...

Essentially it is a flash game, an enjoyable variant similar to the Candy Crush type game if you've ever played it, that will provide around 5-20 hours of fun. Graphics are functional, while the soundtrack is very basic. At its core its a puzzle game with strong elements of strategy. The premise of the game is that you have to surround groups of zombies with the same type/coloured survivor to remove them from...

I assumed this game it would be bad based on screenshots. But since it somehow got into my library, I wanted to briefly try it before I "hide it". I was surprised. I am not really into matching games, but this one is pleasantly intense (time works against you), and full of action given all the tactics you need to utilize. Main campaigns do not take more the three hours, but that is actually good because the...

Sophie’s Choice Games are great, I love them all, from hard core strategy through to frantic FPS action, but if I had to pick my least favorite genre.... well... it’s like asking a parent who their least favorite child is, it’s not an easy question to answer and you’ll almost certainly get the generic “I love them all equally” reply. That’s the easy way out; the problem is that it almost certainly isn’t...

Fun little zombie puzzle game! You surround zombies with matching character types to kill them. You move block to block eliminating all zombies, with a text story in between. The campaign was a good length and the characters all had some funny one-liners. It's relatively easy for the most part, although it can get intense in the later levels. The game gives you a plethora of items to work with so as long as you use...

If you like matching games and if you like zombies, then this game is for you. The premise is very simple but the gameplay is very fun. I love killing zombies, but sometimes I don't feel like running around to do it. This game is an interesting puzzler. I enjoy this as a casual game to rest my brain from all my all pointing and clicking :). There is a sense of urgency since the zombies can kill the survivors, turning...

This game looked like another case (or victim?) of the zombie fad. However I was always intrested in this title, as it's openly stated that it's a puzzle game. A zombie puzzler game. This is either really meh (zombies instead of coloured blocks) or pure sh*t (because noways you can sell anything, that has zombies) or something original. For me, it turned out to be the third option. The game itself is really simple....

Just not very fun or interesting. Moving survivors around to encircle zombies got old after about 15 minutes. The game also has sloppy interface issues, like how it's hard to tell which zombie the sniper attack is aimed at. And be aware that the game is partly in real time - when a zombie threatens to attack a survivor, you only have a few seconds to prevent it. It won't wait for you to take your turn.
