Zombie Shooter

Perhaps the most efficient and direct game title ever, Zombie Shooter is in fact, a zombie shooter. There is no story; you simply begin the game with one of two generic characters whose descriptions I didn't bother to read, and slaughter literally thousands of zombies, while occasionally fighting your way to power generators or dynamite caches in order to open new parts of the level. Other than that, kill everything. The floors of any given level will literally be caked with the viscera of what the game description on Steam claims is" a thousand zombies on every level, 100 on screen at once", and each zombie killed almost immediately being replaced by another one.

The graphics are actually pretty good for this sort of game, but your main character resembles a broken doll, as you move around with the W,A,S,& D keys, while rotating and aiming with the mouse. This means the torso tends to twist around unnaturally when things get crazy, which now that I think about, just adds to the overall feel of the thing. As you mow your way through this gore fest, you gather little orbs that give you experience points which you use at the end of each level to raise your characters stats, which have a noticeable effect on the game play. Raise your speed, and your character will move faster and be able to avoid the swarm a little better. raise your accuracy, and you will do more damage with each shot, etc. Zombies also drop monies, which can be used to purchase armor, ammo, health packs, and weapons upgrades.



The best part of this game, by far, is the weapons. It is immensly satisfying to kill in this game, and each weapon is equally suited for taking down dozens of enemies at a time in some cases. You start with dual wielded pistols, which is immediately cool, but quickly gain a shotgun, a grenade launcher (my favorite), a rocket launcher, a chain gun, a flame thrower, a laser rifle, a laser canon, a laser chain gun, and this thing that shoots saw blades. The pace of this game is relentless, and I literally said "holy shit!" out loud a few times as I was surrounded by scores of undead (and some other crazy stuff ), and it was only by running around like a mad chicken and using every weapon and just about every bit of ammo I had that I was able to survive. On and on it went until I played through the entire thing in three hours without stopping, And I enjoyed every minute of it.

Zombie Shooter is not the best game you will ever play. For $4.99 on Steam, you will get a 3 hour game with literally no ending, only this:


but with multiple difficulties, and a decent survival mode and a few other extras, you will get your money's worth. If you enjoy zombie games, or just want something intense and well made, even if it is a bit generic, go buy this.
