Two carried machines and the other two were heavies. That left a group of four humans protecting a power junction. I had two syringes, and so I infected a gun-toting human that had walled himself up behind a one-way door. This syringe lets me infect any single human in the level. Towards the end, I used the crawling type zombie to get a hold of a rare zombie infection item. This constant extra challenge helps to kick up the challenge level and can bring out the often brilliant and tricky designįor example, in the Terror in Elevator level, beating the level and going for the level-specific "Unpaid Overtime" kill all humans challenge, took some doing. Finding hidden rooms, killing the cannibal, stopping a time-travelling killer android, and so on. Some require that all humans in a level be killed (infection counts), but others are more specific. Some are time-based, which is tough since time runs even when the action is paused. Each level also has a single stated challenge goal, and these can vary greatly. (A bite from one of my zombies is the best way.) There are entire chase levels were the trick is to keep infecting the next human or human group while any trailing zombies are obliterated by something as dauntless as a subway train.Įach level has a progression goal of getting one or more zombies (or special zombie types, like tanks) to the exit. Oddly enough, as much as it bothers me to see my zombies falling into pit and being bashed to useless pieces, I can "make more" zombies by infecting whatever humans are in the level. To refill it, I can, one by one, set zombies to self-destruct, and thereby refill a small amount of mutagen. Doing just about any of these things will deplete my mutagen resource. Makes zombies and Overlord zombies explode might also get some of them over the gap. I can even try to speed up the zombies, which will change the arc of their descent, which might be enough. I can make an Overlord fling all approaching zombies to a great height or I can make an Overlord scream in a way that attracts nearby zombies, keeping them from wandering off. My options as player are typically to pause the gameplay, take one zombie and make him an Overlord that directs zombies in opposite direction of the pit, or I can try to fling them over, or I can change them into an agile crawling zombie that can both survive falls and climb walls. Worse, it could lead to a stream of zombies flying to their death. A large, unprotected drop-off will lead to a wandering zombie's death. The zombie units have their own predictable behavior, and in 'Lemming' like fashion must be directed rather than directly controlled. The maps are 2D and the action occurs from a side-scrolling point of view. Like a real-time strategy game, the player directs zombie units. Either way, this a game where orders must be given carefully and quickly, but while precise execution is usually rewarded, there is enough flex to engage a player like myself, who tends to alternate between overly cautious and suddenly aggressive. It may even have begun as a touchscreen game.

While I love that the game captures a special PC game quality that is all-too infrequently seen in the past decade, it's possible that this game could be made to suit touchscreens. I think Robert Rodriguez's 'Planet Terror' is a good reference point.) (It's definitely not an especially politically correct game. It has that special brew of mouse, keyboard, and gameplay. I could, at length, talk about 'Lemmings' and how this game is like a violent Halloween take on that classic. From the monochrome looks to the dastardly characters, there's some very wry humor at work, and it mixes well with levels that require lots of thinking, as well as some deft movement.
And after enjoying the final product as much as I have, I'm left wondering what specifically it is that initially hooked me and has kept me hooked through some lengthy and challenging levels.įor sure, it's a charming game.

Ever since I first played 'Zombie Night Terror' at PAX South 2016, I've been looking forward to playing the full game, and to conquering each of the game's 40 levels.
