    Amazing game and incredible port. Tons of content in the base game with the season 1 pass included. I would say it’s worth it, even at its regular price. This is hands down my favourite zombie game on switch (so much better than World War Z) and a good improvement and expansion of Zombie Army Trilogy.

This is hands down my favourite zombie game on switch (so much better than World War Z) and a good improvement and expansion of Zombie Army Trilogy. Even though basically no one is talking about this game, it has a healthy little switch community of active players. The online play works extremely well, even if the small delay between performing an action online and it being registered in the game is annoying. That’s Nintendo’s fault though with the **** wifi they put in the switch. If I had to make one complaint about this game, it’s that there is way too much leveling up and grinding, particularly for weapon upgrades, to the point where it takes away from the actual gameplay. It’s hard for me to enjoy the gameplay for what it is when all I can think about is headshotting 50 armoured giants to get upgrade my rifle. I’m sure some might enjoy these kinds of upgrading mechanics, but it’s far too grindy for me. Either way, this game has a lot of longevity, and I have no doubt it’s going to end up being one of my most played switch games. Other than the grindy game mechanics, my biggest complaint for the game its super overpriced and prevailent DLC. Season passes 2 and 3 are 30 dollars each. For 3 maps a pop and a handful of weapons and character skins, that’s fundamentally not worth it, compared to the base game (with season pass 1) for 50 dollars that has 12 maps, 11 horde mode maps, and an already decent amount of weapons and characters. Each season pass, for the amount of content they have, shouldn’t be more than 15 dollars, and even that is a stretch. The game won’t let you forget that you have DLC to buy either. The content you’re “missing out on” is plastered all over the games menus, with a big ever present “BUY NOW” button always within reach. Very scummy business practices. You could say it’s better than gatcha mechanics and loot boxes (it is), but I don’t think this super overpriced DLC should be defended in any capacity. To get the “full game” you’d have to pay $105. Too much. If this review seems negative that is because I’m only focusing on the two aspects of the game I didn’t like. Everything else that’s great about it goes without saying. If you like mindless zombie killing online with friends, ZA4 is a no brainer.… Expand

    Rebellion created another and the best part of the series so far with "Zombie Army 4: Dead War". The storyline and the various tasks in the levels are really fun and will drive you from A to B for a good 15 hours. The environments and the multitude of different enemies can always provide interesting and difficult moments. The controls work wonderfully and should never be a problem in theRebellion created another and the best part of the series so far with "Zombie Army 4: Dead War".

Especially together, the title is a lot of fun and the scope means that many hours on the console are pre-programmed. The Nintendo Switch version also includes all content from Season Pass One. Players get access to three additional levels, four character packs, nine weapon bundles, five weapon skin packs, and four character outfit packs. Fans will pick up the fourth part anyway, and newcomers should definitely take a look at Zombie Army 4: Dead War.… Expand

    Halfway through the game it goes from fun and challenging, too F you hard. Here, fight 10 thousand invincible chainsaw guys on a tiny cat walk who can insta kill you. It becomes laughably stupid

    Zombie Army 4: Dead War might be one of the most technically impressive games to come to Nintendo Switch in quite some time. With all the action on screen, the game manages to maintain a smooth and consistent experience regardless of how many enemies or online players are present. It’s a goofy, campy title that knows it’s goofy and steers into that goofiness throughout your adventure. It’s also unique in that it’s as much fun to play by yourself as it is to play with friends, although I have to admit playing with friends makes the experience a little more hysterical. While the character movement is too janky for its own good, this doesn’t ruin the experience at all. Put simply, if you’re looking for a good zombie shooter to play by yourself or with friends, then Zombie Army 4 must absolutely be at the top of your list.

    It's a tad dumb but it's old-school dumb fun. Jump in with a friend or three and relive the glory days of zombie shooters in a simpler time when battles weren't 'royale' and zombies were hotter than Jessica Alba.

    If you’ve tried out the previous Sniper or Zombie Army games from Rebellion and bounced off of them, there is likely nothing here that will change your mind. Similarly, if you’ve enjoyed any of those games you will be happy with what you get here. Zombie Army 4: Dead War is more of what Rebellion has shown it knows how to do best: realistic playgrounds filled with plenty of action, stealth, exploration, and thrilling opportunities to exercise the capabilities of your arsenal. A solid port of a very satisfying game.
