Zombi

ZombiU was an innovative and genuinely scary survival horror title which hit the Wii U at launch – one that made excellent use of Nintendo's second screen GamePad to enhance the terror to all new levels. Now, three years later, the title has been ported to the PlayStation 4, complete with a control overhaul to shift everything onto a single screen. But in the transition from ZombiU to Zombi, has the horror title lost what made it so compelling and unique?

Zombi is the textbook example of a game that needs a sequel. Within the trope-ripe grounds of the zombie shooter, it builds interesting NPCs, delivers genuine scares, and makes deaths mean something more than a respawn. With more exciting combat, Zombi might have been a must-own for horror fans. As it stands, it’s a fun game that does most things right, but constantly reminds you of its biggest flaw.

It seems like ages ago I hunkered down to play Ubisoft’s ZombiU on Nintendo’s Wii U console. At the time, I was impressed with some of its innovations and how it utilized the Wii U’s GamePad. All in all, it was a decent mature rated game for early Wii U adopters. The recent announcement of Zombi coming to the Xbox One and PS4 came by as a bit of shocker and completely out of nowhere. I mean it had been nearly three years since ZombiU was released, so the timing of its arrival on current gen consoles is odd and had me a little suspicious. It’s usually never a good sign when a Publisher sneaks a...

Priced at £14.99 on all formats, Zombi isn’t a bad game, but it’s also not a great one. The graphics are adequate, the music is nice, and there’s a nice range of environments, but the gameplay just becomes a little repetitive as you progress further into the game. It also doesn’t help that the inventory system is rather tiresome. In 2012, on the WiiU, ZombiU offered something unique. But in 2015, as Zombi, on more powerful consoles, it’s apparent that the years haven’t been too kind. Compared to something like Dying Light, Zombi pales into insignificance, but if you’ve already beaten that titl...

One of the coolest features of the game is the ‘perma-death’ initiative. What happens is each time a player begins as a character, they play as that specific character for as long as they can until they are attacked by zombies. If the character dies, they become a zombie and the player restarts from the shelter as a new character, losing all of the collected items. The previously-killed character can then be found out and about as an undead, walking the streets. Often the bag will still contain some items lost to the player previously.

For now you’re not going to find many other games that allow you to take cricket bats to zombies, so that’s something.

A healthy survival horror game that's infected with problems.

A failed opportunity to make use of reasonably more powerful hardware leaves ZOMBI in an unfortunate position whereby the original game is actually more appealing.

While Zombi has some likable moments, ultimately it’s a largely anachronistic experience.
