![]() The controls, which are both joy-con and touchscreen, aren’t the best, to say the least, and the same can be said for the UI. The music can get repetitive but that’s easily solved by turning the volume of which I did in the end. Sound effects and music are fine too with the appropriate booms during explosions and such added to the Walking Dead theme. But with its muted colour scheme and its cel-shaded look Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead looks fine for what it wants to achieve. Since it’s set in a post-apocalyptic world you wouldn’t expect to see lots of bright and vibrant colours. While the added challenge of team management and timing is interesting and keeps the gameplay from being stale, it will induce some hair pulling from being overly frustrating at times. Thankfully, these scenarios don’t present themselves often but don’t expect an easy game as this isn’t it.Īnyone who is familiar with the Bridge Constructor series will feel right at home. It feels laboured and frustrating like all the fun has been sucked out of it. On top of being nudged by the game, when you do realise your strategy isn’t going to be successful, you have to repeat the whole process again, changing character instructions to suit.

There are crates to drop, and traps to set to kill the walkers too. Now you also have survivors to direct away from the Walkers. There’s the usual bridge construction, where you’re allocated resources like beams, cables, and platforms to construct pretty much whatever you want. There are a lot more components to take into account when bridge-building this time.

I am not a walking dead fan as I’ve never seen the TV series, though I have heard of it. This is a post-apocalyptic universe which adds familiar faces like Daryl, Eugene and Michonne from the Walking Dead and a few others. the Walking dead to contend with, and a few survivors who you have to protect.
