What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Thorn: Zombie Dungeon Survival is a "hack-and-slash" zombie fighting game in which players must escape a dungeon that's teeming with undead humanoid creatures. There is little substance to the game beyond the constant combat, though players will need to use skill and strategy to figure out the best way to take down the menacing force. The game has several factors to lessen the impact of the violence, including the unrealistic environment, cartoon aesthetic, and zoomed-out view. However, there are also numerous exacerbating factors, such as the large pooling of blood under every dead zombie and the frenetic pacing.

Is It Any Good?
THORN: ZOMBIE DUNGEON SURVIVAL has some redeeming points, with a user-friendly control scheme and a challenging style that awards players with a sense of accomplishment for completing levels. Beyond that, however, it does little to distinguish itself from the many other run-of-the-mill hack-and-slash games. Without a compelling story or a variety of game modes, the constant zombie shooting can become repetitive and does not offer much reason for players to keep with it. There are other, more worthwhile games that offer the same kind of intensity and challenging gameplay without the repetitive gameplay structure.
