Zombie Army 4 Dead War takes you back to the 1940s when Europe is in the middle of a zombie Armageddon.
Infused with the jovial DNA of Strange Brigade, Rebellion’s canny combination of horror and absurdity is their best game yet and a grand example of how to add progression and scoring to a modern shooter.
Quarter to Three
Zombie Army 4 feels like an old friend you’re reconnecting with after a few years. Even though it’s similar to its predecessors, the game has been refined into something that holds greater mass appeal. Weapon upgrading, fresh enemy design, and a packed progression system give players a reason to keep coming back. The core gameplay loop is even better more when tackled in co-op, yielding some hilarious and action-packed adventures. Despite the good, the game’s core issues arise from a bland campaign that lacks the impressive set pieces and locations from the previous iterations.
Gaming Nexus
The name might be generic, and sure, the game is not exactly doing anything new for the genre as a whole, but Rebellion has made sure its series got the improvements it required – the level themes, great feeling gun combat, and plenty of content to beat – to take it to the next step to deliver something extremely fun and enjoyable to play, to the point where I feel the series has jumped up a notch from being good fun to a great bit of entertainment.
