Our take on Zombie Night Terror
The presentation centers on the zombie-apocalypse premise and mutation spectacle, while the core play is indirect puzzle solving: zombies move forward independently and must be guided around traps, defences, and environmental obstacles. The editor and Workshop support also make custom content part of the package.
What is Zombie Night Terror?
Zombie Night Terror is a puzzle strategy game about directing an undead horde against human survivors.
Zombies move forward on their own, so commands, mutations, and combinations guide them around traps and toward targets. Humans fight back, hide, and defend themselves, requiring different zombie types and tactics across 50 levels. The game also lets players convert humans into zombies and damage parts of the environment. A level editor supports custom stages and chapters containing enemies, traps, bonuses, mutations, and player-written dialogue, which can be shared through Steam Workshop. The Special Edition includes exclusive wallpapers and the original digital soundtrack.

Zombie Night Terror compared to similar games
Zombie Night Terror focuses on directing zombies through puzzle levels, using mutations, contamination, and destructible environments. Anomaly: Warzone Earth also combines action and strategy, but uses a reversed tower-defense structure against alien forces. Dungeon Defenders: Awakened combines cooperative action RPG and tower defense systems with loot, leveling, pets, and character customization, rather than Zombie Night Terror's undead-horde control.
