There's nothing quite like a good videogame map, whether you just like to sit back and take in the view or claw your way through cracks in the wall on the hunt for collectables. And in the case of NCsoft's upcoming MMO FPS, Cinder City has both, well, if you find time to admire the view between bloody gunfights and ravenous zombies.
My first thought after jumping out of an aircraft and landing on the edge of Seoul City, the bigger map out of the two on offer, was simply: "Oh, this is going to be complicated." Looking up at it all, the horizon was full of derelict skyscrapers and decaying infrastructure, all toppled over each other. Cinder City does take place mid zombie apocalypse, so I guess there’s only so much landscaping people can do while having to fight off hordes of ravenous monsters and what's left of the surviving population.
