   It's nice to see that more people are going to get a chance to check out this former Wii U exclusive (called ZombiU). It's a real treat forIt's nice to see that more people are going to get a chance to check out this former Wii U exclusive (called ZombiU). It's a real treat for hardcore zombie fans. While the title's often frustrating issues are still present, it's good ideas still shine through to make for an excellent experience for zombie fanatics. Mix in some new additions and you've got a port that manages to narrowly outshine it's Wii U counterpart.
   
   One of the key selling points of ZombiU when it first released was how it took advantage of the Wii U's two screen experience. The game was basically built around it and that's part of what helped set it apart from other zombie games. It was an integral part of the experience. At least that's what I thought before. In Zombi all the action takes place on one screen. Seeing all of ZombiU's functions move so flawlessly and naturally over like this makes me wonder what all the fuss in regards to ZombiU's two-screen system was all about. The only thing missing from Zombi due to the switch to one-screen is the local multiplayer option, which wasn't all that exciting anyway.
   
   Well, enough about the differences from the Wii U version for now. Onto what makes Zombi so great in the first place. It's nice to see a zombie game that takes it's undead hordes seriously. So many zombie games make it easy to blow your way through big groups. In Zombi however, even one-on-one encounters with the undead can be dangerous if you aren't careful. Zombies can take some damage before going down and if you die that's it. Another one of Zombi's great features is the permadeath mechanic, which in a sense makes the game part roguelike. While you don't lose any progress in the story, when your character dies they take your gear with them. When you respawn with a new character it's up to you to decide to hunt down your old gear or not from your now zombified previous character.
   
   This is admittedly where some frustration can sneak in. Suppose you die again before you can hunt down your old character. If that happens then all the gear they were carrying is just gone. Something that can screw you out of good items. That's part of Zombi's risk and reward system. It's up to you to choose what gear to carry and what to store at your safe house. Also, the longer you stay alive in the game the more your skills will level up, giving you a stronger survivor. Losing a character you've put some time into and ending up with someone weaker is something else that stings a bit.
   
   This is what I love about Zombi. Yes, all of this can lead to a lot of frustration, but it's a genuinely challenging game that rewards smart thinking. Carefully managing threats and planning ahead of time are often things you must do. As a result, it's probably one of the most realistic zombie games I've ever played. Something that does admittedly contribute to what is likely Zombi's biggest issue. While the game gives you all the tools you need to succeed, sometimes death can still feel like it wasn't your fault. This is due to the combat system, which was the biggest complaint reviewers had with ZombiU when it first released.
   
   The game's emphasis is on melee combat. Simply put, bashing these zombies to death is often a lengthier experience than it often should be. They often take multiple hits to go down. Something that can make taking on more than one at once a trying experience and groups more than two often a death sentence. With ammo being so limited, the gunplay being a touch clunky (you are a civilian after all), and the sound usually just drawing more attention, melee is often your only option. This normally isn't a problem given that you are allowed to take things slow and play smart for most of the game, allowing you to avoid these vexing encounters if you keep on your toes. So when the game throws sections at you where you are forced into scenarios where you're surrounded by the undead, all of whom are alerted to your presence and in pursuit, death can feel cheap.
   
   However Zombi does something to alleviate some of this in a way that ZombiU did not: It gives you more melee weapons. In ZombiU you were left with only the cricket bat. In Zombi you can find two other, more powerful alternatives. While you'll still be giving deadheads more than a few swings to bring them down, it won't take as long as with just the cricket bat. This is really the new addition that makes me feel like Zombi is actually a bit better than ZombiU. Two new melee weapons might not sound like much, but I found them to be almost game changing. Zombi's other new additions are minor (like skins for the cricket bat), but are still nice.
   
   Putting the survival in survival-horror, Zombi has a lot of great ideas. If you're willing to put up with it's issues and outright irritations, Zombi can be a rewarding and satisfying experience like few other zombie games on the market. With things like it's dark environments it even goes along way towards making zombies scary again.… Expand

   Just another Zombi Game
   Zombi is a First Person Shooter Survival Horror Game with an obvious inspiration from the souls games.
   Here you play as a random character out to basically do chores in a thruway world, with throwaway characters in a throwaway story…
   This is a chores games set in london, of go from point a to b, collect what you can along the way and try not to die..
   You start with an unbreakable melee weapon, and a pistol with 6 bullets…
   You then set out to gather whatever from a location given to on the map..
   And along the way youll find health pick ups, new weapons and ammo…
   And there are zombies all over the place in your way from completing your task…
   This game is sortve delivered in the style of a souls game..
   Everything feels connected, youll be unlocking shortcuts as you run around the areas collecting key cards and completing tasks…
   Youll be unlocking shortcuts for when you die..
   Which brings me to this games twist…
   Once you die you respawn as a new character… all level progression is gone…. its then up to you to go back to where you died, kill the zombi version of yourself to re collect your materials and go…
   But if you die on your way back, you lose everything.. youll be in the middle of the game feeling like a fresh spawn…
   Which isn’t all too bad, but the fact you lose every weapon you picked up along the way stings..
   It hurts losing your shotgun or crossbow..
   It happened to me about an 2 hrs away from this games ending..
   The game by the way only takes about 6 hours to complete…
   And that’s with being thurough..
   Thankfully thuroughness isn’t that difficult as youre given a scanner for lootable items…
   The game sounds pretty simple enough, but it can absolutely feel frustrating at times…
   This is a survival game in every sense of the word…
   You have to be mindful of your ammo and health.. you have a pretty small backpack and weapons take up space.. some youll have to just leave behind so you have that extra health on you…
   And pick ups are actually pretty rare.. especially health pick ups..
   Enemies hardly ever have anything on them… which again makes this game feel frustrating especially when youre deep into the map and havnt found any shortcuts, and the game wants to throw cheep exploding enemies at you that you don’t realize are explodable until its too late…
   it just breaks your heart and makes you want to quit…
   And sadly this game feels more stressful than fun and addictive…
   The focus is on chores rather than exploration…
   The thing that makes souls games so hard to put down is youre dying to see whats around the next corner..
   While here in zombie, every corner is the same so that hook just isn’t there…
   I did ultimately enjoy my time with zombie.. but those moments of cheapness and feelings of unfun frustration cant be overlooked…
   I give Zombi
   a 6/10… Expand
