Vampires v. Zombies Review

Very poor game concept and the title is somewhat misleading. The zombies are almost a side note and actually rather annoying. The game would be better, even if only slightly, without them. This is not a strategy game, you don't plan an attack or defense for the zombies, they randomly come out of the ground and you kill them by clicking on them several times! Many levels don't even have zombies! I am ashamed to say I played about 40 levels before quitting as I was rather desperate for a game to play, but it was far enough to be sure that there wasn't anything I was going to be missing.

There are only 3 types of vampires, one that plants pumpkins(the more accurate title for the game would be "Vampires Planting and Processing Pumpkins That Are Occasionally Attacked by Zombies"), one that that digs up stones, and one very bland fighting vampire (which you can rarely afford and don't really need), and you can also purchase a rat(which you can rarely afford) to help pick up the pumpkins and stones which you then process and sell. Your mission objectives are basically along the lines of create 8 jack-o-lanterns in 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Yes, the missions are that short(which makes me slightly less ashamed that I played 40 levels).

The only redeeming quality of this game was that it included 4 bonus games, 3 of which were really bad. But I had a little bit of fun with Haunted Domain, but is by no means worth buying because of.
