From the works that can be played on the game title distribution platform “Steam”, we have picked up recommended indie games that are strictly prohibited from being overlooked, from “popular works that are currently talked about” to “rare works that are inevitable for Tsukkomi”! Introducing this time is “Infected Shelter”.

Desperately survive in the end world where infected people are widespread!
“Infected Shelter” is an action game developed by Dark Blue Games. Use 4 characters properly and release the world filled with zombies and beasts.
* There are some radical graphic depictions in the game. Please be careful if you are not good at it.
In the world of this work, which advocates Postapocalypse, infected people exposed to a mysterious pathogen roam the surrounding area, sprinkling poisonous fangs indiscriminately without self-consciousness. The purpose of the player in this work is to accurately bury such infected people and prevent an unprecedented crisis as soon as possible. To summarize the contents a little more roughly, it is OK if you think about the flow of “defeat the infected person with a weapon in one hand. Eliminate obstacles and defeat the boss at the back of the stage.”
As you can see in the image above, this work has a lot of Gore depictions throughout. Even if you touch the battle scene at the beginning for about 5 minutes, you will see scenes such as “the infected person’s torso splits in two” and “the beast sprinkles the cerebrospinal fluid and breathes out”. Therefore, it must be said that it is terrible for those who are resistant to Gore depiction to recommend this work, but it is perfect for those who say “Pop Gore depiction is okay!” Or “I want to slash Zako enemies!” I feel that it is an action game.
Game flow & basic actions
Before starting the game, first of all, from the scene where the player selects the character to handle. A total of 4 characters can be operated (at the start of the game). Both are clearly differentiated by physical strength and attack power, and the skills that can be activated during play (details will be described later) are also different. For this review play, the author chose “Aaron Morris” in consideration of its high durability and appearance preference. Manipulating the physical skinhead male voice, the infected person stepped into the forest infested with Uyoyo.
The basic actions of this work are roughly divided into 5 types: “Move”, “Use Items & Skills”, “Attack”, “Avoid”, and “Jump”. Of these, attack actions are divided into normal attacks, which occur quickly, and strong attacks, which have high damage per shot. That said, you don’t have to think about difficult things in the early stages, just hit the attack on the infected person you encounter. Let’s increase the number of steps with a normal attack with little skiing and hit a frightened skiing with a strong attack. If you can afford it, you should learn advanced combos such as normal attack → aerial attack while referring to the tutorial etc., and the range of actions should be wider.
“I’m surrounded by a large number of infected people”, “I’m struggling with tough Zako enemies” … In such a case, it is recommended to rely on the “skills” that have been acquired by default instead of normal attacks. For example, in the case of Aaron Morris, the skill of summoning a Steller’s sea eagle from overhead is very cooperative. Even if you are surrounded by troublesome infected people and beasts, you can instantly increase the number of enemies around you with a single button. However, excellent skills cannot be fired indefinitely. I can’t use my skills in important situations! Be sure to keep in mind the cooldown interval (the time it takes to reuse) so that you don’t get into trouble.
Power up your character by allocating points
This work is difficult from the beginning, and even if you play while paying the utmost attention, there are many scenes where the game is over overwhelmed by the physical power of the enemy. Therefore, what should be noted is the items (weapons, armor, skills, pets, etc.) that give the player a wide variety of benefits, and the player’s own status enhancement by allocating points. In particular, points will be accumulated naturally without being aware of them during play, so be sure to assign them to each item (skill acquisition, weapon development, etc.) at the base camp. Especially in the early stages when endurance is low, it is useful to give points to skills that improve physical strength.
In this review, I distributed the points to the weapon category and created a “fire sword” with a fire attribute in advance. Unlike normal sword-type weapons, this weapon deals burning damage to infected people when slashing. Burning damage lasts for a few seconds, so it is effective against highly durable enemies. Disinfecting filth … As you can see, we were able to cut the dirty infected person in half. By the way, like other weapons (swords and firearms), you can throw the developed weapon at the enemy at any time during play or replace it with your favorite weapon.
When the game is over (stage clear & game over), after recording the play time and the number of defeated enemies, the player will be rewarded with Infection Samples Collected (in-game points) and the blueprints obtained (targets for point distribution). increase. As mentioned above, this work will repeat trials and errors in the early stages, but it is necessary to effectively allocate points to be accumulated for each play, and in addition, thoroughly examine the items found and prepare the equipment. If possible, you should be able to see the capture route. It is in such a “process of continuing to challenge for light even if it is painful” that the charm of this work, which is touted as post-apocalyptic rogue light action, is packed.
“Infected Shelter” desperately struggles in a harsh world painted by infected people. If you are interested, why don’t you play it once?
