Age of Zombies

While it can get tedious in stretches, underneath the repetitive but simple gameplay is buried something of interest: no, not a mindless zombie, but rather pure mindless fun.

  • The game is fun, nostalgic, and offers addictive twin-stick shooter gameplay with humorous dialogue.
  • It provides local multiplayer split-screen mode, enjoyable horde mode, and various weapons and bosses.
  • The developers have continued updating the game with new content and fixed previous issues.
  • Moving the game to a mandatory subscription model unexpectedly locks out players who previously purchased it, causing significant backlash.
  • There is no option to buy the game outright anymore; only a subscription service allows full access, which many consider greedy and unfair.
  • Technical issues include lack of controller support, frequent crashes on certain devices, forced account sign-up, and poor customer support response.

    The game's graphics have been a divisive point among users, with many praising the original, colorful, and nostalgic visuals, while criticizing recent updates for making the graphics look cheaper, less appealing, and causing performance issues. Some appreciate the swiftness in restoring the original art style, suggesting an option to switch between old and new graphics would be ideal. Overall, users find the visuals fitting for the game's humor and gameplay, though improvements and consistency are desired.

    • “Fun levels, awesome graphics, and its humor is hilarious!”
    • “Great game good graphics... but more stages needed.”
    • “Holy crap, I didn't think you could ruin a good game, highly disappointed, graphics look bad, old graphics look better.”
    • “Multiplayer, seems to me like the only thing changed was the graphics, which like I said, are complete garbage... 2 stars - lg g3”
    • “The new graphics look cheaper in my opinion.”

  • story

    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 51% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The story is widely praised for its humor, entertaining dialogue, and engaging zombie-shooting action, with many players enjoying its lighthearted tone and fourth-wall-breaking moments. However, the story mode is consistently described as very short and somewhat easy, leading to calls for longer, more challenging content and additional levels in future updates. Overall, while fun and funny, the narrative experience leaves players wanting more depth and extended gameplay.

    • “Your first playthrough of the story mode will be filled with joy and laughter as you blast your way through hordes of the undead.”
    • “The game is a fun shooter, with a good and funny story.”
    • “Very fun, pretty funny ending, won't spoil it, the story was pretty good, takes just over an hour to complete the story, which was a blast.”
    • “The story mode is extremely short (thank god I only paid 10p for this).”
    • “I purchased it and beat the story mode in 30 minutes.”
    • “The story is obviously based in absurdity, but it shows a distinct lack of effort.”

  • monetization

    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 61% negative mentions

    Users express strong dissatisfaction with the monetization model, criticizing the shift to subscriptions and the introduction of ads in games they previously purchased ad-free. Many view these changes as greedy and anti-consumer, feeling forced to pay repeatedly for access to content they once owned. However, some appreciate versions of the game that remain free of ads and in-app purchases.

    • “This is a fun game, and no ads, I like it.”
    • “Fun game... great time waster and no in-app purchases... right there this game gets 5 stars for that.”
    • “Total worth it, free game, fun, no ads, I can't complain at all.”
    • “Would've been fine making it ad funded and pay to remove ads, but I refuse to pay monthly to regain access to games I already have downloaded.”
    • “I've played this game for many years. I was happy until the latest update added ads and blocked the game saying I had to pay. This is sad.”
    • “But even after purchasing the game, I am still getting ads!”

  • humor

    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    96% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is generally praised for its witty dialogue, funny quips, and badass, parodic style that enhances the overall experience, especially in its storytelling and character interactions. However, some users feel the humor has become drier or more childish over time, with a few wishing it were more consistent or even removed to improve the narrative. Overall, the humor contributes significantly to the game’s addictive and fun atmosphere.

    • “5 stars! I always play this game because it has a cool story and it's funny when the main villain breaks the fourth wall. My friends and I were laughing a lot.”
    • “Great parodic humor and lovely visuals.”
    • “Fun, addictive, hilarious, and just straight-up badass.”
    • “The narrative is so childish and unfunny that the game would improve from it being completely removed”

    63% positive mentions, 26% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as fun, fast-paced, and engaging with responsive controls and enjoyable mechanics, especially in two-player mode. However, some users note it can become repetitive, lacks online multiplayer despite being advertised, and is relatively short with limited modes. Overall, it offers smooth and entertaining gameplay but could benefit from more content and features.

    • “This is one of the greatest animated fast paced shooter games. Controls are responsive, gameplay is entertaining and also the story is a laugh too. 5 stars for this game.”
    • “A horde mode that procedurally generates new levels after each boss or certain number of waves, or better yet a level maker where you can determine enemy type, power ups and their spawn frequency would breathe long lasting life into this gem because the gameplay is flawless.”
    • “Controls work well, animation is good, and gameplay is smooth. Quite addictive as well, for 10p it's a bargain.”
    • “As soon as gameplay started the controller stopped working.”
    • “I only bought this to support Half Studios, but I believe the graphics and gameplay could be much improved on this one.”
    • “Well it needs more levels; then it would be better because the gameplay is really short.”

  • stability

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including freezing, glitches, frame skipping, and loading screen stalls, which significantly impact the gameplay experience. Users find these bugs frustrating and disruptive despite enjoying other aspects of the game.

    • “I can barely play without frame skipping, glitches of zombies not showing up and just seeing eyes and shadows, plus constant freezing.”
    • “Game play is great other than the joystick, freezes every now and then which is frustrating.”
    • “Freezes at the loading screen.”

  • replayability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
