Bulwark 53 is a tense, engrossing online zombie game that grabs your attention from the very beginning and holds it to the bloody end. All you know is that you've somehow escaped the war and wake up in an infirmary. You think you're safe but something just doesn't feel right. It's too quiet, for one. You can't hear anyone else. You have your berretta and a strong desire to get out. As you try to get out, you have to face off against all manner of zombie foes. Good thing you have that berretta after all.
The graphics in Bulwark 53 are the best you'll find in a zombie game, but they certainly aren't the worst. The game is decently bloody, but you can also choose to play in gore mode which definitely ups the blood factor. For those that aren't really crazy about the red stuff, if might be a better idea to stick to the standard mode. It's still a bit bloody, but shouldn't be too much for you to handle considering you're playing zombie games in the first place. The Controls are standard online game controls. Those that are used to using the arrow keys for navigation instead of the WASD controls might have a bit of trouble getting the hang of moving around in this one in the beginning as the WASD controls are your only option. While other zombie games will allow you to choose which you want to use, Bulwark only gives you the one option. If you're playing on a laptop without an external mouse, however, this isn't a bad thing. It might take you a few rounds, but you'll get the hang of it. Instead of diving right in to the zombie killing action, take a little time to walk around. This will help prepare you for when you actually have to face off against your enemies.
The best way to progress in Bulwark 53 is to keep a safe distance from the zombies. This might seem like a given, but there are all sorts of places you can back yourself into a corner and while in other online zombie games that is a good strategy, that definitely isn't the case here. Zombies take more than one shot from the berretta to die and it takes a while to reload. Back away from zombies into an open space where possible and fire from there. Try to leave yourself time to reload. You'll need it.
Bulwark 53 isn't much different than many of the other online zombie games you can choose from with one key difference - the story. Sure it's the same old zombie story, but this one is told in a way that actually draws you in. You want to find a way out because you want to know what happened. How did Bulwark become overrun with zombies? Does the game ever answer that question? You'll have to beat the game to find out.

You shouldn't have spoiled it. Not everyone look around enough. That is perk for us "sharp-eyed" and "patient" players ;)

On the negative side, it's boring, samey, has no plot, and too easy. Even ignoring the infinite ammo gatling gun you can find by accident, the zombies never really posed much of a threat. The fact there is a walkthrough button on the menu and HUD is pretty telling, despite the fact that the walkthrough is only good for a basic map of the area. I couldn't find two of the weapons (or even ammo for one of them). The enemies were not much of a threat at all, except maybe the gray zombies, because they blend in with the ground. Seriously, they're only a threat if you can't see.
