Game: Random Runners

From deep within a subterranean military bunker, my CO debriefs me on the situation. A shadowy terrorist organization is taking over the globe and turning its denizens into zombies. I am planet earth's last hope - the last line between a promising future and a terrifyingly bleak tomorrow. I am an adorable pixie, and I am pissed. Ravenous Games' Random Runners may not be the most plausible or fleshed-out storyline to ever come down the zombie chute, but as the endless runner genre goes, it can sprint with the best of 'em.The main selling point here is in Ravenous' love for both SNES-style graphics/music and a fairly obvious Mega Man obsession. In true 8-bit tradition, you'll be leaping and sliding over and under obstacles whilst running and gunning the imposing zombie threat. These moves are accomplished through virtual buttons that, sadly, represent Random Runner's main weakness.Extreme gaming challenge never hurt anyone (old-school controllers smashed through frustration notwithstanding), but when in-game deaths are doled out due to seemingly poor design choices, it leaves one wondering if micro-transactions are holding a game back. Is the difficulty tuned to a degree that makes spending real-world money mandatory, or has a generation of gamer grown spoiled through incessant virtual hand-holding?
