Dead Meets Lead is every bit and piece of what a challenging zombie-slaying action game should be. Enter the role of the 18th century commander who’s on a mission to obliterate evil, by fighting your way through the island of El Mirando. A mystic plague has consumed the inhabitants of this island and you'll have to liberate their souls by sword, and travel deep into the island to find and stop the dark minds behind the cursed disease. You’ll have to act, think and move fast if you want to survive the horrors of these wicked parts of the world. And do not hope for any rescue or help, it’s all up to you and you alone!

Devs, have you ever let people test this game before release? Since you guys are brave and kind enough to let me play for free, I'll give my advice for free too.
The premise and graphics are all good. Actually, that's what tempted me to download it.
But after I ran the game I found many bad stuffs such as:
- Weird main menu (design innovation? I don't think so)
- Advance tutorial that suppose to teach me how the rage effect me but I learnt nothing from it except more crazy numbers of left clicking that bored me badly.
- Gun without ammo and if I manage to find it - it's so late in a level that i don't need it any more and it can't be carried over.
- Overwhelming hoard of repetitive zombies.
- Jump ability with no benefit to use.
- Awkward control, if you want player to hit-and-run the PC needs to be lot faster.
- Traps that just appear out of nowhere and can't be destroyed.
- The way you communicate to players is equally bad. The first line I read in the News section on Main Menu is "Pirate the game? ..." (So WELCOME message :P). You also trick player into your free tester; Telling us to rate game level without asking nicely is like commanding your player. I feel used.
Well, I think you guys are capable to some level. Don't let this horrible game die. You still have chance to fix it.

A sword/gun isometric zombie hack-n-slash game set on a deserted island in a pirate age theme.
Pro:
Easy to learn.
Rewards are not too hard to get.
Runs smooth on high settings with mid-range PC.
Rage meter gets higher the more you kill.
Rage kill gets more powerful the higher it gets.
Cons:
Zombies get repeatitive.
Sometimes you get massly outnumbered.
Locations all have similair look/feel.
Not enough variety in weapons/maps or missions.
Some weapons you purchase are not useful and you have to buy them first to find out that some are too slow.

Provides lot of zombie killing fun and has some nice features but sadly it feels repedative after some time of playing and my interest was no more. Overall I think the games a 7/10, It can be seen that lots of work was put into it's development and it's not all that bad. Multiplayer would be a great addon that would make the game much more successful.

It's pretty fun, but i find the combat system pretty dull

Very repetitive gameplay and an absurd difficulty in no-way challenging makes for a completely unfunny game.

The basic idea of the game is not bad and the artwork is quite nice too. Unfortunately the game suffers from several problems:
* Malaria - The worst possible way to keep players on the path. Make it a natural or aritificial barrier. At this point even an invisible wall would be better.
* Combat variety - Or more exactly the non-existance of it. There are exaclty 4 attacks you can do (if you have ammo) and you always fight the same monsters. It gets boring very quickly.
* Balancing - I've played on one of the easier settings and couldn't get past the first mission after the first boss. More difficult does not equal more fun.
It's shame. The game has potential and could be turned into an entertaining game.

I don't recommend this game to gamers who want to play easy. It's quite hard even on easy difficulty level.

I like the game, but the only way I can beat it is by hiding in houses, and even at that I still take massive amounts of damage, Its very fun but extremely hard I cant beat the level where you start out with about 30 ammo for your gun, the bullets go through the zombies sometimes, and there to laggy but I still love the idea of the game.

A decent game. Very fun when you have nothing else to do!

Definitely a fun game, but it leaves something to be desired. Can't put my finger on what though :S
And it suffers from Stupid Indie Game Title-itis. Dead Meets Lead? Come on... that's almost as bad as Boomtown Takedown.
