Daymare: 1998 Reviews
Daymare 1998 is the new survival horror from Invader Studios. A terrifying experience in which we will put ourselves in the shoes of different characters that will meet throughout history. A dangerous virus has affected a significant part of the population, and we will have to fight it by investigating its origin and fighting those infected by very different landscapes. Manage your ammunition and kill the zombies that appear on your way.

Daymare: 1998 is an interesting homage to the Resident Evil franchise, complete with 90s graphics, cheesy characters, and a tough difficulty. Inventory management forces you to think carefully, while boss fights can be tedious and unfair.
All survival horror fans will enjoy this, and they’ll play it through a few times as well. There’s something here, underneath some of the mud, that’s reminiscent of the original horror greats.
If you are a fan of action-based horror games, I think you should give this game a try. It reminded me greatly of Resident Evil 4, both in atmosphere and gameplay-wise, and we all know the world could use more awesome zombie games.
I enjoyed my time with Daymare. It’s a nice homage to the horror games of yesteryear, I would say however that the game feels a little short, (there’s an achievement for completing the game in under 4 hours which you’re absolutely not going to do on the first playthrough) but any negatives I’ve mentioned don’t affect the overall enjoyment and excitement that the game brings. It’s jumpscare horror done well, for the first release from an independent studio I’d say it was a good effort, and should Invader Studios continue down the horror route they will no doubt be ones to watch out for at some point. If you have ever enjoyed any survival horror games and/or remember the 90’s you should pick this up; don’t expect anything new, but expect to have gory, tense fun navigating an already familiar environment.
Daymare: 1998 is a game that, far from reaching the level of Resident Evil remakes, still deserves a chance from fans of the survival horror genre for the efforts of differentiation and depth of its created universe. A great debut for Invader Studios.

Daymare: 1988 is a love letter to Oldschool Survival Horror Games that often loses itself in the survival aspect and has sadly besides that not much more to offer than a lot of nostalgia. If you are an Oldschool Resident Evil Fan that is looking for some Challenges you should still get this game.

Daymare: 1998 is a well-honed zombie experience that lacks originality but scratches the itch of those interested in the modern zombie game.
Invader Studios has managed to transmit his love for this genre with this work. And he did it by talking to us in whispers, close to the ear, tricking us with tricks that we already know but that continue to excite us.

Daymare 1998 is pure comfort food for all the survival horror aficionados straight from the '90s. Don't expect nothing more than a loving tribute to the Capcom's best episodes (particularly the second).

Invader Studios has more than paid tribute to the most classic survival horror with Daymare: 1998. Unfortunately, the story that you star as a player in this play is not as interesting as the background of it, which can easily go unnoticed. However, the game has gameplay and a series of mechanics and details that do great justice to the horror titles of the 90s and, especially, to the first Resident Evil.

It's almost hard to talk about Daymare: 1998 without bringing up Resident Evil. Developer Invader Studios had its roots as a group of fans working to...
In the face of a good longevity of the campaign, a nightmare atmosphere, a truly engaging sound sector and a more than satisfying flavor in old school sauce, Invader Studios with Daymare 1998 certainly succeeds in the objective of satisfactorily paying homage to the horror era. videogames of the late 90s.

Daymare: 1998 could have been a good survival horror but the flaws surpass the merits. Nonetheless, the team has put some nice efforts into it.

Daymare: 1998 is a great alternative to the Resident Evil Remakes. Though it feels a little dated by today's standards, it nonetheless ends up holding its own with some great atmosphere and exploration. It's just a shame a lot of its mechanics are unnecessary and quite honestly questionable.
Daymare: 1998 and Invader Studio are still at their debut and starting point, but still, this game can be fun for some time. If Daymare was released before Resident Evil 2 Remake, maybe it could have gotten better reception and success. But with the aforementioned title's extraordinary performance, it seems unlikely

While Daymare 1998 isn't going to light the survival horror world on fire, it is a solid first attempt at the genre. Make sure to watch some videos to get a feel for it first.
Daymare: 1998 strives to create a more than sincere tribute to all those horror games of the 32-128 bit era, unfortunately it doesn't succeed completely because of serious performance problems, disproportionate difficulty and an upgradeable pointing system. Graphically it looks great and offers enough content to give it a shot if you like this kind of games.

Overall Daymare 1998 isn’t a bad zombie title, but it isn’t a great one either. Sitting somewhere in the middle, there are both classic and newer elements that blend together nicely but when added with the visual issues and the more mechanical ones like zombies not dying, there’s a bit of work to be done in order to make this the amazing title that it should be.
