Zombie Army Trilogy
Love zombies, hate Nazis? Zombie Army Trilogy is an impressive three game package that needs to be played co-operatively to get the most out of it. It can be a bit of a slog, but good enemy variety and level variety keeps it challenging and fun.

The story of "Zombie Army Trilogy" is generally considered simplistic and linear, primarily serving as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a focal point. Players engage in a straightforward narrative involving Nazi zombies and the quest to defeat Hitler, but many reviews note that the plot lacks depth and is often repetitive, with minimal character dialogue and cutscenes. While some find the absurdity of the story amusing, most agree that the game's strength lies in its cooperative gameplay and action rather than its narrative complexity.
“The story is fun (well, as fun as Nazi occultism can be!) and captures your interest; you'll feel invested in trying to beat the zombie army.”
“The alternate version of World War II is a fascinating concept, and the game's storyline is engaging and well-written.”
“The story is straightforward but engaging, with players taking on the role of a group of soldiers tasked with stopping Hitler's zombie army.”
“The AI isn’t the smartest, and the story is pretty thin—basically just an excuse to move from one zombie-infested area to the next.”
“The story is unfortunately quite laughable, with very short cutscenes that feature zero dialogue from the characters you play as.”
“The story is non-existent, which isn't really that surprising, given a game about Nazi zombies.”
Zombie Army Trilogy Review
To say that Zombie Army Trilogy is a bad game would be far too harsh. It does provide bursts of fun and with multiple players, can be a laugh riot, especially in Horde mode. It's just that while it isn't necessarily bad, it just doesn't have the polish to ever push it past that sort of level. Some more variation would have been nice, as would a little bit more care and attention with the overall design. There's no doubt that some will be hooked and will love it – it's certainly therapeutic fare – but with the issues it contains, there's a much greater chance that you'll feel the opposite way.

Zombie Army Trilogy won't be winning any rewards for innovation any time soon. It will most likely not get any best game of the year awards either. Doesn't stop it from being really fun to play, though. Just a lot of mindless zombie killing fun, which is really all you should have be looking for with this title to begin with.

Zombie Army Trilogy feels a little less essential than other ports to the Switch, however it is technically a good port of a decent game. Firing slow-motion x-ray shots consistently is always a thrill.
