Deadly 30 is worth it if…
- you like short, tense sessions where one bad night can undo days of progress

- you have a soft spot for retro, Flash-era visuals and old-school difficulty
- you like zombie games that do not take themselves entirely seriously

Day for scavenging, night for surviving
Every day is a countdown. You leave the base, head left or right into the forest, and gather scrap: piles of metal, crates you shoot open, old tanks and jeeps you strip down on the spot while zombies close in. The further you go, the richer the pickings and the worse the company. Then the light goes, and you want to be behind your own walls. Night brings waves of zombies at your barricades, and each night they come harder, in new varieties. Get caught outside after dark and you will learn why the game tells you to fear it. Sleep in your bed to skip to the next morning, if you live to see it.
Three soldiers, one shared life
You start as an American soldier with an assault rifle, and find two more survivors out in the woods: a Russian with a rifle and a German with a shotgun. Switch between them at any moment with a key press; the other two fight alongside you under AI control, each with their own upgradeable weapon. When your soldier falls, control jumps to the next one, and when the last one drops, that is the run. The trio comes with a wink: the characters are played for laughs, with cutscenes and dialogue between the days. The AI companions are not the sharpest, so expect to do the heavy lifting yourself. Between nights you spend scrap on guns, armor, boots, medkits, barricades and turrets, and every choice matters when the horde arrives.
