We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Local groups who want five-player cooperative shooting
- Players who enjoy managing squad equipment and shared supplies
- Zombie-survival fans who want base defense combined with resource production
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a polished presentation may be put off by the developer's stated imperfections and bugs.
- Players looking for a purely fast-paced shooter may not want the hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, injury treatment, and base-management systems.
- Players seeking online multiplayer may not find the local multiplayer format suitable.
Our take on A ARMY BASE
The defining structure is a nightly zombie-defense cycle built around preparing a squad at its base, then sending that squad into combat with produced supplies and repaired vehicles.
What is A ARMY BASE?
A 2D side-scrolling shooter with single-player play and local multiplayer for up to five players: four gamepads and one keyboard-and-mouse player.
Squad members can be called in through a radio, switched between, equipped individually, and supplied from shared storage. The base includes workbenches and a research lab for producing resources and unlocking item types. Characters manage hunger, thirst, fatigue, and sleep, while injuries, bleeding, fear, and other conditions affect their physical state. Players repair wrecked vehicles, customize their appearance, and use vehicle weapons and storage trunks. Each night brings more zombie attacks, while the squad prepares firearms, melee weapons, grenades, armor, backpacks, and vehicles for defense and expeditions.
