#KILLALLZOMBIES Review

Gameplay from #KILLALLZOMBIES

#KILLALLZOMBIES is an excellent homage to games like Smash TV, and Robotron. While everyone is off playing the HD re-release of Resident Evil, I decided to check out a different type of zombie game. Developed by BeatShapers best known for the game Jetpack Joyride. #KILLALLZOMBIES is a fast, twitch based twin-stick shooter, exclusive to the PlayStation 4.

 #killallzombies is a survival sports game similar to the likes of Smash TV, or the movie the Running man. Contestants are placed in an interactive fighting arena where you fend of hordes of Zombies for cash prizes! Who would ever be crazy enough to ever want to partake in something like this is another question, but it's a video game so I'll let it slide. 

The controls are excellent you move your character using the left stick, shooting and aiming are on the right stick. X button allows you to use a melee attack, triangle is used for leveling up your character, and R1 is your reload button. I loved when you level up your character, you have the choice between four options, some will be for a super weapon, some will be to double your XP for a short time, some upgrades will even offer up instant death with the benefit of giving you a bunch of XP. I really liked the strategy involved in the game. 

One of the most innovative features of the game is, if you are live streaming, your audience can affect the gameplay while watching the broadcast. The viewers have three ways to affect the gameplay. Every 80 seconds, viewers have the choice between two encounter options available to vote on. The second way is with the perk select screen. It also has it's own voting mechanic, if the player decides to wait and select the spectator's most voted perk, the player is offered additional XP and health. The last way for viewers to interact is through chat commands (I never had a chance to try this feature out). I loved how the developers thought of doing this, and it makes your stream a much more interactive experience. 

Visually the game won't over work your PS4, but it works for this kind of game.Your character never feels lost with all the madness going on, even with a 1000 zombies on screen I could easily pick out where I am and what I should be doing. The game does introduce other obstacles, like falling vehicles, and landscape that is ever changing. The sound is very satisfying, especially while using the shot gun, you can feel the power of destruction when you are laying down 5 zombies at once. The music for me, fell to the back ground, but that's okay as I was more focused on staying alive.

#KILLALLZOMBIES is one excellent twin-stick shooter, one that will keep you coming back for more. If you are a live streamer this is a must play game as it lets your audience participate in the game. Excellent for short bursts, or trying to claim a high score. This is one of the most enjoyable  PS4 exclusives I have played. I strongly recommend picking this up.

GET IT!
