    6.5/10 than 6/10

    For those unfamiliar with the Zombie Army series, it's developed by Rebellion, it is a spin-off of the Sniper Elite franchise. It is an action game in the third person in which we can play Solo or coop. The game is to kill thousands of Zombies.

    For those unfamiliar with the Zombie Army series, it's developed by Rebellion, it is a spin-off of the Sniper Elite franchise. It is an action game in the third person in which we can play Solo or coop. The game is to kill thousands of Zombies.

    Have you ever imagined that the Nazis, including Adolf Hitler, who were killed in World War II would suddenly be resurrected as Zombies? Unthinkable, right? It is up to four heroes (Boris, Jun, Karl and Shola) to bury this whole crowd again.

    It isn't surprising if the game is familiar to anyone coming from Sniper Elite, but in this Zombie Army 4: Dead War we have more action and less Stealth. Bullet kill cameras are present as always. It is always great to stop (and see) two or more zombies with a single bullet from our rifle or watch the zombie skulls explode into a thousand pieces. If the user is tired of this, we can always edit Bullet Kill Cameras.

    We have three game modes present in Zombie Army 4: Dead War - Campaign, Horde and the Weekly Event. Let's start with the first one. In the campaign, we first have to do our loadouts, which include primary weapon, secondary weapon, pistol, melee, perk, item mods and our character. Rifles, Assault Rifles, Shotguns and Subamachine Guns are among the few weapons that are present in the game, apart from pistols. And don't forget that weapons can take upgrades (through upgrade kits), Skins, Charms and Reticles. All characters have their strengths and weaknesses.

    There isn't much to say about the campaign. Surviving, Tower defense, killing zombies to unlock certain areas are the main focus in Zombie Army 4: Dead War. In horde mode we have to survive the waves of Zombies (up to 12 waves or more). The base version of the game has four maps: Into the Darkness, Villa Della Morte, Dead in the Water and The Bitter End. Whether in Campaign mode or Horde mode, we have the possibility to choose the difficulty: Easy, Medium and Hard. On this last level of difficulty: enemies are tougher and take more life, bullets are affected by gravity and wind, and Friendly fire is present. But honestly, I felt almost no difference from Easy to Hard. Don't forget that we can use grenades (Frag, Incendiary, Shock) and mines (normal, incendiary, Shock) during the Campaign, Horde or Weekly Event missions, in order to defeat zombie groups more easily.

    In addition, during Campaign missions, in Horde mode or in the Weekly Event, we can use some traps around the area that can be used in our favor: explosive barrels and electrical networks, for example. But be aware that these things are also deadly for us. And don't think that there are just normal Zombies, we have special Zombies like Suicider (loaded with explosives just for us), big Zombies with heavy weapons (which we can also use them during missions) like Heavy MG and Flamethrower and so on forward. And finally, we have the Weekly Event mode. If you like weekly challenges, this is the right way for you. It is a way with certain rules for us to pass the challenge. For example: Dead Ahead map (Campaign), medium difficulty, no secondary weapon.

    Regarding the online cooperative mode, in the few games I made, I feel that Rebellion's netcode in this Zombie Army 4: Dead War is strange, even with the best connections. Because when I fire a bullet from my Rifle at the enemy, it looks like it takes almost a second to hit the target. Even at close range. It is something that in my opinion does not fit. For those who want offline co-op, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is not for you because it doesn't have offline co-op.

    Unfortunately in visual terms Zombie Army 4: Dead War is nothing special and I think it could have been better worked, even with the quality option (30 FPS). Fortunately, we also have the “Performance” option that guarantees us 60 FPS’s on the PS4 Pro. The soundtrack also goes completely unnoticed. As if that were not enough, Rebellion has to make some adjustments to the subtitles because they are too small. Overall the game itself isn't bad; it's really fun and there's funny things like Bullet kill Cameras and Weekly Events, but little else. The lack of offline co-op and some technical aspects that could be better make Zombie Army 4: Dead War an average game.    … Expand

    فكرة اللعبة أنك تواجه الزومبي واللي أهم في نفس الوقت NAZI على حسب قصة اللعبة. الشي الجميل باللعبة أن فيها قصة بالإضافة إلى طور Horde اللي مشابه في فكرته إلى طور الزومبي بكول أوف ديوتي. قصة اللعبة ما تطول وممكن تحس إن في تكرار في بعض الأمور وراح تمل من اللعبة بعد فتره إذا كنت تلعب بروحك ولكن إذا كنت تلعب مع ربعك (بحد أقصى أربعة لاعبين) راح تستانس وتحس أن اللعبة جدا ممتعة مع العلم أن القصةفكرة اللعبة أنك تواجه الزومبي واللي أهم في نفس الوقت NAZI على حسب قصة اللعبة. الشي الجميل باللعبة أن فيها قصة بالإضافة إلى طور Horde اللي مشابه في فكرته إلى طور الزومبي بكول أوف ديوتي. قصة اللعبة ما تطول وممكن تحس إن في تكرار في بعض الأمور وراح تمل من اللعبة بعد فتره إذا كنت تلعب بروحك ولكن إذا كنت تلعب مع ربعك (بحد أقصى أربعة لاعبين) راح تستانس وتحس أن اللعبة جدا ممتعة مع العلم أن القصة بعد تقدر تلعبها مع ربعك. طريقة اللعب بشكل عام عاديه وصراحه ما شفت فيها اي شي يميزها عن الألعاب الثانية باستثناء بعض الأمور البسيطة. الفكرة أن الاعب له لفل وكل ما تلعب يزيد لفلك والقدرة أنك تقدر تطور أسلحتك شي يخليك ما تمل من اللعبة بسرعة ويحسسك أن ودك تكمل ولكن في نفس الوقت تطوير الأسلحة باللعبة ما يأخذ وقت كبير وكنت أتمنى لو كان في تطويرات أكثر لنفس السلاح. تصوير اللعبة والرسومات بسيطة وكل شي في عالم اللعبة ثابت باستثناء بعض الصناديق. شكل الأسلحة نفسهم تحسه قديم ولا كأنها لعبة نازلة بعام 2020. لكن فكرة اللعبة وطريقة اللعب يتوافقون مع تصويرها لحد ما. من ناحية الأصوات والمؤثرات الصوتية بكل اختصار أشوفها عادية لا إنها قوية وتشدك ولا إنها سيئة. على الرغم من أن بشكل عام اللعبة تبينلك من اي اتجاه الزومبي موجود على الشاشة إلا إن بعض الأماكن الصوت ممكن يوضحلك هذا الشي ايضا ولكن في أماكن اخرى الصوت ما يكون دقيق. بالنهاية إذا عندك قروب تلعب معاه أنصحك في اللعبة ولكن إذا بتلعبها بروحك ما أشوفها تسوى.

    من الآخر:

    1- العبة جيده بشكل عام وقصتها ما تطول وممكن تحس أن فيها تكرار إلى حد ما.
    2- نظام تطوير الأسلحة والاعب (لفل الاعب) يشجعك أنك تستمر باللعب.
    3- اللعب لوحدك ممكن يكون ملول ولكن إذا لعبت اللعبة مع قروب/ربعك راح تستانس وتحس أن اللعبة جدا ممتعة.
    4- تصوير اللعبة والرسومات بسيطة. الأصوات والمؤثرات الصوتية في اللعبة عادية.    … Expand

    Zombie Army 4 is a good relaxing, brainless shooter. One that is simple enough to enjoy after a long day. It's best to play it in multiplayer, it improves the experience a lot. Shame the game has a plethora of overpriced DLCs. $40 for three new levels is an abomination.

    Han innovado pero también han abusado demasiado de los DLC (mapas a 7 euros y armas a 4 euros) que estropean la experiencia de juego. They have innovated but have also abused too much DLC (maps at 7€ and weapons at 4€) that spoil the game experience.

    Веселая игрушка. С другом прошли на ура! По 1-2 эпизоду за вечер проходили, потом приедается. Сеттинг веселый, зомби разнообразные. Отдельно отмечу музыку, она действительно качественная. Из минусов выделю донат, стрельбу . А так игра - годная. Лучше Ghost Warrior. Ту не осилили.Веселая игрушка. С другом прошли на ура! По 1-2 эпизоду за вечер проходили, потом приедается.

    A good game, but not brilliant. And for a full priced game the microtransactions in this game are terrible and on par with a free to play.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Sharp, gritty visuals, clever level design, and a John Carpenter-esque soundtrack all contribute towards creating an oppressive, dank, B-movie vibe that's almost as much fun to plough through solo as it is co-op. Plus, there's a zombie shark in it. If that hasn't piqued your interest you're probably already undead.

    Zombie Killing is always better with friends and Zombie Army 4 doesn’t buck that trend. Don’t buy this if you lack playing partners but if you have some Zombie slaying mates it is a blast.
