You have a bar that depletes when you use them, and you can only refill it by either killing more humans, or sacrificing your own zombies. It also becomes a lot about resource management, because you can’t use your mutations as much as you would like. Zombie Night Terror is tough, especially when it starts to change things up on you by having guard patrols and extra reinforcements arriving at inopportune moments. There are 40 levels in the game, but by level 10, you will probably never need to use fast-forward again, and you will have your finger hovering over the pause button at all times. You can pause whenever you want, and if things are looking boring, you can actually fast forward until your zombies get to where they need to be. Thankfully you have a degree of time control. Even leaving powered up zombies alone against weaponised humans is a recipe for disaster, so you will often have to puzzle your way through a level, and be ready to react on the fly. As your zombies increase in power, so do the humans, ranging from thugs with bats to riot squads with assault weapons. You’re able to zoom out and look all over the map to plan your route, but those sneaky humans might have some surprises in store for you along the way. You can get the Overlord to fling zombies over gaps, or cause one to explode even more powerfully than normal.įiguring out these variations is part of the fun, and you will need to plan ahead in each level, especially as they progress. Plus, you can combine the Overlord with another mutation to create an even more effective version of that mutation. There are a few other variations too, and they all have their uses. Screamers will wake up resting zombies, and also terrify nearby humans. Explosive zombies can blast through doors, and certain sections of week walls and floors. The Overlord is an important zombie, as he can stop the rest of your horde mindlessly walking off ledges to their death. There are various mutations, and they each have their own use. You select the mutation you want from the bottom of the screen, click on a zombie, and hey presto, it’s now a superpowered evil minion. If just one of your team of undead shuffles into a barrel, it will unlock that mutation for your entire army for the rest of the level. It would appear as though the human race is saved! Apart from the horrible mutations the zombie plague has, barrels can be found scattered around each level. Your shufflers aren’t exactly fast, and while they can break down certain doors, they won’t be able to get through reinforced ones. Your basic zombies are only dangerous if the humans run into dead ends, though. Killing humans not only gets you closer to completing most levels, it also gives you advantage, because if they die by your hand, they will be reanimated as part of your zombie horde. So, it’s up to you to either remove the obstacles, or make unwitting humans into obstacles, because zombies will sink their teeth into living flesh, given the chance. Your zombies are mindless creatures, and will continue shuffling forward until they hit an obstacle, and then they will turn around and begin shuffling the other way. Developer NoClip has taken the concept of Lemmings, and turned it on its head. There is a new street drug going around, but instead of getting you high and giving you a warm, fuzzy feeling, it’s turning people into zombies. It’s going to be a terrifying night indeed, but not for you. In Zombie Night Terror, you are the zombie horde, and it is up to you to use new zombie abilities at your disposal to infect as much of humanity as possible. Maybe you will get some new abilities and power ups along the way, but I bet I’ve played it all before.” Well, you are only half right, and you are wrong about the half that matters.
“Another zombie game where you’re fighting off hordes of zombies.
