| Quote: | Dueren, Germany, April 30th 2010 - Headup Games, an independently financed publishing company for core PC titles located near Cologne in Germany is proud to announce its next project for 2010: Trapped Dead.
Trapped Dead is a tactical real time strategy game in the tradition of classics such as “Commandos” and “Desperados”. You and your friends control your characters in a 3rd person isometric view through a mature Zombie survival scenario inspired by the successful Horror movies of the early 80s. A co-op mode for up to 4 players is included as well.
The story takes place in the early 80s in a small town names Hedge Hill near Kansas City, Missouri. The sowing of a new genetically modified type of corn caused the exis-tence of a new virus which mutated through the natural food chain. A dog bite of an infected animal caused a local outbreak of the virus which rapidly infected the inhabi-tants of the idyl¬lic provincial town. Mike and Gerald, two college boys, are thrown into the middle of a terrifying horror scenario. Having pulled over to a gas station near Hedge Hill during what was meant to be an enjoyable road trip, they are unaware of the virus which has already reached the gas station and its staff…
Trapped Dead is scheduled for release late November 2010 exclusively for PC.

A handful of screenshots are available here. Also, the official site is not yet functional but it does have a gorgeous background with a nice PA/zombie atmosphere.
It is real time (hopefully with a pause system) and there doesn't seem to be much RPG elements but it still looks nice. The story looks very banal tough. However, the fact that the developer emphasizes that it targets male hardcore gamers indicates there is a chance it may be popamole-proof. |

It depends. Can I play some sexbomb bimbo? Because look at some male hairy ass is not my idea of fun.
But I must say that it read interesting.

Two thumbs up for the screens. It also looks like they do already have a publisher so there is a certain chance it's not vaporware.
But it will be very hard to sell this cool 80s stuff to the gaming proles of 2010.

It would probably be rival except that ZRPG will probably be released at best 4 years later.

| Oh yeah, the title is just a catch phrase. Apart from the fact that they both focus on zombies and seem to be using a camera angle close to good old isometric, they're different. Trapped Dead is a tactical real time strategy game, ZRPG is .. uh.. well, a RPG. |
