Doom And Bloom: Survival! Review - The Only Things Doomed Are This Game Merits

Normally, I intersperse vulgarities throughout my articles, as I think wit and vulgarity are not mutually exclusive, and also, because it’s funny to watch people squirm uncomfortably. In this case, I started with the phrase above, if you can call it that, because it is the verbatim thought that I had after playing Doom and Bloom: Survival! from Doom And Bloom LLC. I dropped $29.00 US on it on eBay, because I am inexplicably drawn to post-apocalyptic games, and also, it looks incredibly similar to a game I developed, although I’ll get into that later. Anyhow, after the first play, I realized that these people might be incredible at the art of survival medicine, but they are absolutely shit at making interesting games. This is easily the #1 disappointment of the year for me.  I had such super-high hopes but I was completely devastated because this game is utter, total shit from a “hobby game” perspective.
