History VideoGame / NationRed

* DropTheHammer: The player can use a sledgehammer.

* CoolGuns: All over the place. Special mention for the [=AA12=] and the man-portable minigun.

It's very similar gameplay wise to those zombie survival flash games you see all over the internet, such as ''Endless Zombie Rampage 2''. You use the WASD keys to move your character around the screen and aim and fire with your mouse. The depth comes from it's wide range of weapons and its perk system. You earn ExperiencePoints by killing zombies, and upon a LevelUp you can choose a new perk, such as faster reloading or health regeneration. You can potentially earn up to ten perks in Strategic Perk Mode- [[EverythingTryingToKillYou if you survive that long.]] In Random Perk Mode you can get as many as you can survive through, though the available perks per level up are random...as the name suggests.

* BossFight: Several missions in the campaign have you fight a "boss" zombie, who are larger and take many more hits to put down. They usually come with a weapon: AnAxeToGrind, [[ChainsawGood a circular saw]], [[ImprovisedWeaponUser a meat hook]], [[StuffBlowingUp grenades]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent an assault rifle]] or [[OhCrap a minigun.]] There's also the "Brawler", who lacks a weapon but is clad in the remains of an ordinance disposal suit, which gives him more punch behind his melee attacks and a lot more HP.

* ActionGirl: The female character, who has a NiceHat.

* DivineIntervention: The "Hand of God" perk and its upgrades, [[UpToEleven "Wrath of God"]] and "[[SerialEscalation Apocalypse"]], cause random bolts of divine fury to come down and strike the zombies. Why? [[RuleOfCool Who cares, it's awesome!]]

* SelfImposedChallenge: Several of the achievements challenge you to do things like take no perks, pick up only one weapon, or other things contrary to logic and common sense.

* AwesomeYetPractical: If luck favors you and you get the Steam Hammer, you've basically won. It reloads super fast, does immense damage, and has enough spread and range to clean half the arena in a single sweep.

* CosmeticAward: Achievements ahoy. A few are [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]], such as [[HalfLife "Free Man"]] and [[Left4Dead "All 4 Deadly"]].

* CrowbarCombatant: The player can equip one of these as well. You get the [[ShoutOut "Free]] [[HalfLife Man"]] achievement for finishing off a boss zombie with one.

* NailEm: You can pick up an industrial nailgun and use it {{Quake}}-style. It has a higher magazine capacity then most of the equivalent [=SMGs=].

* {{Expy}}: From a distance, one might mistake the protagonists for the [[ResidentEvil Redfield siblings.]]

* KillItWithFire: The flamethrower does a good job of this, but there's also the "Firestarter" perk, which automatically ignites any undead that get too close.

* DivineIntervention: The "Hand of God" perk and its upgrades, [[UpToEleven "Wrath of God"]] and [[BeyondTheImpossible "Apocalypse"]], cause random bolts of divine fury to come down and strike the zombies. Why? [[RuleOfCool Who cares, it's awesome!]]

* WalkItOff: The "Regeneration" perk. Go ahead, [[SchmuckBait you can totally]] [[LeeroyJenkins wade into that horde of zombies now]]...

* ActionGirl: The female character, who has a NiceHat.

!!Nation Red provides examples oyf:

* BackToBackBadasses: A good way to fend off the zombies in co-op. You get the "Back2Back" achievement if you can manage to avoid damage for 30 seconds while doing this.

* CoolGuns: All over the place. Special mention for the AA12 and the man-portable minigun.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Oddly enough, not in this case. Their low ammo count will leave you screwed when larger hordes show up. The solution? Use the AA12. Automatic shotgun + horde of zombies = LudicrousGibs.

* WalkItOff: The "Regneration" perk. Go ahead, [[SchmuckBait you can totally]] [[LeeroyJenkins wade into that horde of zombies now]]...

* BottomlessMagazines [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. You have unlimited magazines, but you still have to reload, which is usually when the zombies score a bunch of free hits. The "Quick Fingers" perk and it's upgrade "Dexterity" can help assuage this problem, providing 15 and 30 percent faster reloading, respectively. You can also get the "Heavy Ammo" perk which gives you 25% larger magazines.

* DivineIntervention: The "Hand of God" perk and it's upgrades, [[UpToEleven "Wrath of God"]] and [[BeyondTheImpossible "Apocalypse"]], cause random bolts of divine fury to come down and strike the zombies. Why? [[RuleOfCool Who cares, it's awesome!]]

* GatlingGood: The minigun shreds the horde like no other. [[AwesomeButImpractical Beware it's long reload though.]]

* TractorBeam: The "Item Hook" perk causes powerups to slowly gravitate towards you, while it's upgrade "Snare" causes you to grab them instantly once they're in range.
