Zombie Party

——“喵子, 你天生就是一个恶魔。 在你漫长的游戏扮演中, 掩藏的是人类最深层的恶意。 对你来说, 杀戮NPC好像穿衣吃饭一样简单。” ——“无趣, 我要看到血流成河。”

WARNING: Multiplayer ONLINE CO-OP Does not work... i bought this game especially to play with friends online so am a bit letdown to see that you cant even get on a game online. feeling very disappointed because the game looks really fun. maybe ill give it a go as a solo experience but the fact that online coop is advertised and that is doesn't work is a big letdown

Zombie Party is a loud, chaotic, and content-packed indie action game that blends twin-stick shooting with roguelike structure and light RPG progression, creating an experience that feels both immediately accessible and surprisingly deep over time. Developed by Peach Pie Productions and published by Peach Pie Productions alongside Plug In Digital, the game leans unapologetically into retro design sensibilities while layering in modern systems that reward long-term play. At its heart, it is about overwhelming firepower, relentless enemy waves, and the constant push to survive just a little longer than the last run. Gameplay revolves around fast, top-down combat where enemies flood the screen in dense formations, forcing players to stay in near-constant motion. Movement, aiming, and positioning are crucial, as even brief hesitation can result in being overwhelmed. The game offers multiple modes, including story-driven adventures and procedurally generated dungeon runs, each emphasizing different aspects of its mechanics. While the basic loop of shooting, looting, and surviving is straightforward, the sheer intensity of encounters keeps the action feeling tense and reactive rather than mindless. One of the game’s biggest strengths lies in its staggering variety of weapons. The arsenal ranges from familiar firearms to wildly imaginative creations that border on absurd, each with distinct behaviors and effects. Weapons don’t just differ in damage output but in how they shape moment-to-moment play, encouraging experimentation and adaptation. On top of this, the weapon modification system allows players to tweak stats and effects, giving a sense of ownership over builds and making each run feel personalized. Discovering a powerful or unusual combination often becomes the highlight of a session. Progression in Zombie Party is designed to soften the sting of failure. Even when runs end abruptly, players are rewarded with currency and unlocks that feed into permanent upgrades, new characters, and additional content. Each character comes with unique traits and starting equipment, subtly changing how the game feels and encouraging repeated playthroughs. This layered progression system provides a strong sense of forward momentum, ensuring that time invested always contributes toward future success rather than being lost to repeated defeats. Visually, the game embraces colorful pixel art that prioritizes clarity during chaos. Explosions, projectiles, and enemy animations are exaggerated and expressive, reinforcing the game’s arcade-like personality. While the screen can become crowded during intense moments, the visual design generally succeeds in keeping important elements readable. Sound design plays a major role as well, with punchy weapon effects and energetic music amplifying the sense of constant danger and urgency. Difficulty is a defining characteristic. Enemy density increases rapidly, bosses demand pattern recognition and careful movement, and success often hinges on quick decision-making under pressure. For some players, this relentless pace is thrilling, delivering the kind of adrenaline rush associated with classic arcade shooters. For others, it can feel punishing, especially during early hours before sufficient upgrades are unlocked. The balance between challenge and empowerment improves as progression systems open up, but patience is required to reach that point. Multiplayer adds another layer of appeal, turning the already frantic action into full-blown chaos when played cooperatively. Local co-op shines as players coordinate movement and firepower, while online play can be more hit-or-miss due to a smaller active player base. Still, when it works, cooperative play highlights how flexible and entertaining the core systems are, transforming survival into a shared spectacle of destruction. Ultimately, Zombie Party is a game that thrives on excess. It throws weapons, enemies, upgrades, and visual effects at the player with little restraint, trusting that the joy lies in managing the chaos rather than controlling it completely. While it may not appeal to those seeking polished storytelling or tightly curated pacing, it excels as a replayable action experience driven by experimentation, progression, and raw firepower. For fans of twin-stick shooters and roguelike action games who enjoy unlocking content and refining builds over time, it offers a satisfying and enduring burst of explosive fun. Rating: 8/10

Fun game, thumbs down for punitive reasons. 1) can't rebind controls --don't drink that koolaid, kids. and spacebar is a horrible bind, always. 2) capped at 30fps. Shirley, you must be joking. --extra "bad-software-by-bad-ppl" points for: a) dev claimed they were going to raise it and never did. b) they were only going to raise it to 60. SMH. 3) can't save game (in roguelite mode) --a "save and quit + resume" implementation, even if it just checkpoints you at start of level, would have been butt-simple. but no, game just kills you instead. 4) make the player manually run around and collect all loot at end of stage. THEN, make them watch a 10 second cutscene before the next stage? --Shirl...? If this person had an actual party, I probably wouldn't go. And to the dev: whatever happened to you, to make you hate people so much that you chose to embody that loathing in this game -- I'm sorry. --- updated... Having played a bit more cuz I'll be damned if I'm not getting these measly 11 achievements to add another "perfect" to my roster... It's a shame because there [i]are[/i] some cool mechanics, and cool guns etc., going on. Sadly, all crappified by lack of a cohesive (or even [i]complete[/i]) UX approach, and a failure for what I presume is a small dev team, to realize: [b]the people who buy and play your game are [i]never[/i] going to love, appreciate, and understand it as much as [i]you[/i] do, since it's your creation. So you need to go the extra mile to really polish it up and give them a comfortable UX!!![/b]

The first rogue like I ever played back in 2018 with lots of characters to unlock, tons of different cool silly weapons, easy to run with charming pixel graphics, and awesome funky music to top it all off very much recommend if you enjoy rogue like type games :D (I also think there's coop but I never tried)

I cant believe a game THIS good is a dolla. playing in 2025 worth it!!!!

Zombie Party pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //some difficult battles/boss battles //some overpowered enemies //some enemies have unfair attacks //could use more powerups and loot //sometimes too many enemies/hazards //upgrades require a lot of resources //collecting resources are a grindfest //a little repetitive //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.49 Or Less During Sale extra notes: //guns blazing top down survivor with many weapons and weapon mods //collect coins and loot to upgrade your characters and arsenal of weapons //jump and blast your way through waves of enemies and enemy bosses

Kinda fun. no more developer update but the game itself is not that bad. Dont buy it if you want to online play with friend. Server doesnt work anymore. But local coop is still ok I think. You will spend more time on doing "Slot machine glitch" rather than the actual game if you dont want to grinding to death by playing classic mode. Plus I think slot machine is fun. Slot machine glitch actually make the game more fun because you get ton of money to buy new weapons and other things. Text in this game is bad for me. look really weird. Maybe not my style:P Character design is not good nor bad for me. Some of the weapons are very cool to use and feel very satisfied. In conclusion, 5/10. not so bad

Great couch play, cant believe this came out in 2016! love that the game supports up to 4 local players! would recommend if you are looking for a casual game to play with a couple friends.
