[Insert zombie-related pun here]
Made by a Russian team, Zombie Shooter is clearly a budget title: it's short, it does not have a lot of content, its isometric graphics look straight out of the nineties, and it does not even try to have a story or any kind of narrative substance. As the title suggests, all you'll do here is shoot zombies, without interruption. Fortunately, this game is very good at what it does. Similar to other horde shooters like Serious Sam, the game is all about getting trapped in large areas with hundreds of hostiles and slaughtering them all. The strategy is mostly simple: stay mobile, don't get cornered, kill the most dangerous enemies first, choose the gun best adapted to the situation, keep an eye on your ammo and life meters... and never stop pulling the trigger. The gameplay is entirely comprised of mowing down entire packs of undead (and braindead) monsters, some of which can be pretty tough to fight, and it's great: the amount of action on screen is just insane. It also gets absurdly challenging: it's common to fight a certain enemy as a boss, before facing ten of them at once in the next level! It is thus vital to take advantage of the upgrade system, which allows you to improve your character and equip them with better gears and weapons - a neat, satisfying touch. What really makes this game for me is its sense of detail and effort: the graphics were outdated even at launch, but the environments make for cool sci-fi visuals, and the amount of havoc you can cause is wonderful: everything explodes around you, filling rooms with hundreds of corpses and splattering blood everywhere! The engine renders it all effortlessly, even on low-end computers. Unfortunately, the graphics and controls are not very customizable, and the game suffers from a lack of content and extremely short duration: less than 2 hours to finish the campaign, only two additional game modes, no multi or coop... Still, a fun little game that I wholeheartedly recommend. Get it on sale for a few cents!
