Description: London has been lost to the undead plague. Overrun by hordes of mutated zombies, the last hope rests in the united fists of four lone outcasts. Bloody Zombies is a co-op brawler designed to be played with any combination of flatscreen and VR players. Fight across the ruins of London using carefully refined Free-Form Combat, taking down a terrifying variety of undead with an expanding special move-set. Created for 1-4 players, Bloody Zombies is also enhanced with VR – using its unique viewpoint to help the team overcome obstacles & discover secrets in the game.
Review: If you like your traditional 2D side-scrolling beat-em-ups like Double Dragon or Final Fight this might well be right up your street. I have to say in VR it kind of works and kind of doesn’t. It looks OK and being able to find hidden things that the 2D plays can’t is a bonus, but I had to wonder what the point of it was. It plays just as good on a normal screen and doesn’t look all that different. So it has to be down to value for money that will make this game a winner or a loser. The answer to that question is yes, but only if you are going to play it with friends or as a party game, because just playing on your own really isn’t that much fun. But there are still plenty of people to play against online which is a good thing due to the cross-play with the PSVR version of the game.
