Our take on Zombie Soldier
Blood vials are the defining survival mechanic: collecting them offers an escape from permadeath within each level.
What is Zombie Soldier?
Zombie Soldier is a small, replayable 2.
5D metroidvania in which players fight undead enemies across graveyards and army bases. Shooting and jumping are used to survive and clear each level, with different paths available and difficulty increasing as play progresses. Collecting blood vials provides a way to escape permadeath in each level. The game draws on early console-era arcade and 16-bit styles, combining retro and modern graphics. Controls use a classic A+B setup, and play supports a gamepad or keyboard and mouse.
