Play it if you…

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a campaign with a defined ending may find the endless-wave structure limited.
- Those looking for a large map selection may find the current 3 maps restrictive.
- Players seeking a tactical shooter rather than an arcade shoot 'em up may prefer a different style.
Our take on ZombieThon
The emphasis is on endless survival and upgrade combinations, while the currently stated map count is 3. More maps are presented as forthcoming, so the available variety is narrower than the broad upgrade list might suggest.
What is ZombieThon?
ZombieThon is an arcade shooter built around surviving for as long as possible in each mission.
Waves scale without an end, while weapon upgrades include bouncing bullets, split shots, and special abilities. Players can combine upgrades into different weapon setups. The game offers a single-player mode and online multiplayer for 2 to 4 players. Characters can be unlocked in each level, and each character has a distinct ability. The game currently lists 3 maps, with more planned. Its core loop centers on enduring increasingly demanding waves and using available weapons and abilities to stay alive.
