Run, Gun & Outrun the Undead and Extra-terrestrials!
Indie publisher Ratalaika Games and developer Sergio Poverony from 9Ratones have just dropped the deets on their latest adrenaline-pumping title, Zombies, Aliens and Guns. Set to launch on April 26, this game is a vibrant amalgam of top-down “Run and Gun” action, splicing together retro 2D pixel art with sleek 3D graphics for an explosive gaming experience.
Earth Needs a Hero – Could It Be You?
As Earth faces a dire invasion from rogue military rebels, Zombies, Aliens and Guns puts you in the boots of the last hope for humanity. The game will hit the shelves for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Players will tackle the role of a protagonist charged with rescuing survivors, collecting vital vaccines, and combating relentless hordes of zombified humans—thanks to a menacing alien attack that’s turned Earthlings into the walking dead.
Non-stop Action!
Gameplay is relentless, featuring thrilling missions like racing across terrains in a jeep, dismantling a rogue train, and tackling the alien source head-on in what promises to be a life-or-death showdown. The main character, a dedicated peacekeeper, must brave dangerous lands to deliver a newly developed vaccine to headquarters, but not without challenges, including a catastrophic helicopter crash that changes everything.
Progression & Aggression!
As players progress through Zombies, Aliens and Guns, they’ll unlock potent armaments: an assault rifle, a shotgun, and a machine gun, each upgradeable to boost firepower and rate of fire. Depending on the scenario, selecting the right weapon is crucial—whether it’s a shotgun for close-quarters havoc or a machine gun for laying down rapid-fire punishment. But watch your ammo; reloading will be crucial to survival.
Challenges and Strategy
The game’s design doesn’t allow for inventory stashes; instead, players depend on weapon crates scattered throughout various locations, some hidden, which keeps the gameplay dynamic and engaging. Each level poses unique challenges, like escorting a driver to safety or collecting critical supplies, with failure resulting in mission termination.
Diverse Environments
Players will navigate a multitude of biomes, from tropical islands to dense forests. Transportation varies from cars and boats to traversing a night-time motorway or a deserted village. The ultimate goal? Breach the alien stronghold and eliminate the extraterrestrial threat guarded by both zombies and aliens.
Final Thoughts
Zombies, Aliens and Guns isn’t just a game; it’s an action-packed saga reminiscent of an intense sci-fi thriller. With its unique blend of graphics, challenging gameplay, and a narrative that pits you against both the undead and outer-space invaders, it’s set to carve out its own niche in the shooter genre. Get ready to embrace the chaos!
