Zombie Army 4: Dead War

Budget zombie shooter with passable visuals. Decent co-op held back by graphical inconsistency.

A third-person take on Left 4 Dead that is far better than World War Z, even if the lack of a versus mode and the awkward third-person camera keep it short of that classic. It shines in co-op with chaotic, scary hordes of varied shambling and special zombies, satisfying shotguns, deep weapon upgrades and perks, well-designed levels, full progression saving, and strong replayability. Single-player is weak, but overall it's well worth the buy.

An over-the-top, bombastic co-op shooter with excellent controls, satisfying gunplay including the signature holding-breath slowdown and X-ray kills, and flawless performance on Switch. The added RPG-style weapon and character progression adds welcome depth, and the horde mode is a strong inclusion. It is a very safe fourth entry that lacks depth and feels too repetitive solo, but comes alive with friends; the premium price is its main sticking point, though it remains highly recommended.

A competent but deeply risk-averse co-op zombie shooter that is essentially Sniper Elite's zombie mode stretched into a full game. The core shooting feels satisfying with punchy head-explosion feedback, but the precision-sniping focus makes little sense against slow hordes and the design brings nothing new. Fun in short bursts as a mindless shooter, yet uninspired and unambitious overall.

Built on the bones of Sniper Elite 4, this is a simple but incredibly satisfying horde shooter where mowing down waves of zombies and landing gory cinematic kills stays fun, helped by creative traps and well-paced settings. Co-op and horde mode shine for casual play with friends. The repetitive objectives, thin story, and shallow progression hold it back, but it's gory, satisfying value for the price.

A solid addition to the zombie-shooter genre, building on the Sniper Elite formula with satisfying x-ray kills and chaotic combat. Thoughtful enemy encounters, a steady variety of new foes, and meaningful progression keep the 10-12 hour campaign energetic, while the combo and melee systems reward aggressive play. Horde mode feels lower-stakes and the map count is thin, but solo or co-op it stays accessible and fun.
