Customer Reviews
One of the better games on iOS
I’ll save you a lot of time if you’re in a hurry. Rebuild is a fantastic game and you should play it. Look it up online if you don't feel like buying it right now, there's a free flash version.
Looking for a longer description? Rebuild has you managing a small band of survivors as they try to reclaim a city from the walking dead. You have to manage population, food supply, morale, weapons, and the constant threat of zombie attacks. It’s a “light” strategy game of managed risk where you send your fellow survivors on various assignments. Scavenge the gas station for supplies, scout the park, reclaim that suburb, fortify the mall against attack… the list goes on.
Yes yes, zombies. You’re over zombies. Honestly? So am I. Zombies are a fascinating boogieman, they make a great apocolipse, but how many times can we watch a group of haggard everypeople escape the Hoard intact? One more time, apparently. Rebuild adds a twist to the plot which we all think about, but rarely get to test: How would you rebuild society after the apocalypse? Rebuild allows you to try, and sometimes fail, at setting up a permanent bastion against the Zeds.
There’s one important element to this game which can’t be conveyed through descriptions or screen shots: Sarah Northway, the game’s designer, really loved this game. There’s a lot of care and heart here, a lot of attention to detail. Every mission ends with a handwritten note from one of the survivors, randomized and tailored to the task at hand. These notes are sometimes funny, sometimes grim, often profanity strewn, and occasionally misspelled (the game engine actually creates misspellings to simulate handwriting). She cared about these tiny digital people, and by the time you’re done playing, you will to. You play because you WANT them to pull through. That’s the kind of thing you can’t condense into a bullet point or add to a feature list. This game is good because it's creator cares about it.
This has been a Sunkenlibrary.com review, look me up for other articles of varying usefulness.
Pretty boring
Plays like a Facebook game - press a few buttons and sit kinda game. Not really very exciting or memorable. I appreciate the art and design, but not much of a "game"
Terrible
Clearly some of these positive reviews are from people who made the game - terrible design, so confusing waste of money - I had to delete this one and that's a bad sign for me as I buy a lot of games
