Two Xbox One video games have been remastered and are now available to buy, download, and play on Windows 10 devices; Shadow Complex Remastered and The Escapists: The Walking Dead.
The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a special edition of The Escapists game franchisewhich incorporates characters and story elements from The Walking Dead comic book and TV series. Here’s the official description:
Merging the award-winning, smash-hit, indie game The Escapists with the worldwide phenomenon that is The Walking Dead, comes The Escapists: The Walking Dead. In this unique game, recreated entirely in the charming 8-bit pixel art style of The Escapists, you play as Rick Grimes as he takes on hordes of zombies let loose upon the world. Rick is in charge of a band of survivors featuring many of the original comic book cast, including Maggie, Hershel, Glenn and Michonne. Rick must secure the safety of the group by seeking out a safe escape route from each area, and manage several dangerous tasks to keep as many of the group alive as possible. The game faithfully matches the timeline of the comics, meaning Rick must first fight his way out of the Harrison Memorial Hospital, visit the Greene family farm before visiting destinations such as the Meirwether Correctional Facility and Woodbury.
The Windows 10 version appears to be identical to the one that came out on Xbox One recently however this version lacks any Xbox Live features such as cloud saves and Xbox Achievements, which is a shame.
