Notably, the English version of the game doesn't bother to have English dialogue, instead retaining the original Russian dialogue with subtitles. While the marketing for the game claims this was done "to honor the cultural authenticity" of the game, it's pretty clear it was done to save money because it's a budget title.

Infiltrating a top-secret North Korean weapons facility, they are met with opposition from North Korean soldiers and further into the site's interiors... zombies?

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:In the final stage, you escaped the facility as everything blows up behind you. But in the last minute, the camera pans before your character, showing you bearing the same visage as the undead creatures and that you've been infected. And you're heading for the nearest human city]]...
* AutomaticDoorMalfunction: A ''lethal'' version; one of the areas has a malfunctioning, automated sliding door covered in ''blood'', which crushes everything that tries crossing and turning zombies coming from the other room into a pile of red stuff. You'll need to find a control panel to stop said door momentarily before dashing through, but take note that said door can suddenly reactivate and squash you.
* BattleStrip: You perform one in the final cutscene, effortlessly ripping off your armor and shirt... [[spoiler:to expose your bare chest that contains the same veins and skin color as seen on the infected]].
* BodyArmorAsHitPoints: You can collect a vest that acts as a second layer of health; it absorbs hits from enemies partially and reduce the damage you're taking to the point where a single shotgun blast only deals 2% of damage!
* CrowbarCombatant: Interestingly enough, despite being part of some military force your characters' default melee weapon is a crowbar. It's surprisingly effective in smashing out the skulls of zombies and North Korean soldiers alike to save ammo.
* GangUpOnTheHuman: Most of the time, if there are zombies and still-surviving North Korean soldiers onscreen, they'll ''immediately'' target the player for no reason. That said, there is an area where you can raise an alarm attracting some North Korean soldiers into a zombie-infested morgue and [[SetAMookToKillAMook let them fight it out]].
* GatlingGood: The mini-gun, which comes with clips of ''500'' rounds at a time and can fire away without reloading until it's dry. What's even better is that you obtain it as early as the ''first'' stage.
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: More than one section of the facility contains gigantic, white lab rats who attacks by gnawing at your legs.
* SentryGun: A few areas in the research facility has gatling turrets which drops from the ceiling upon activation, and blasts away at the player on sight. Those areas are, unsurprisingly, devoid of zombies.
* ShootTheTelevision: In the opening credits, the player character - a soldier who's apparently in the aftermath of a failed relationship - angrily hurls his beer bottle at the television broadcasting news of the stray nuclear explosion in North Korea, destroying the whole television screen in the process.
* SyntheticPlague: The zombie virus, a top-secret North Korean project, is made in a lab before it inevitably leaks and spread out of control.
* ToServeMan: The undead enemies enjoys feasting on human flesh. There are several areas in research labs where the player can come across groups of undead chewing away at humans restrained on beds and operating tables, where they're mostly too busy eating to notice the player.
