Hundreds of zombies at once

The main attraction is scale. Hordes pour through streets and corridors, get stuck in tight gaps, and climb over each other to reach you on higher ground. As campaigns progress, those swarms hit harder and act more like one grinding boss. Bring friends, because four guns cope better than one.

Co-op campaigns around the world

You fight through story-driven episodes set in places like New York, Moscow, Japan, and Jerusalem, each following a different group trying to outlive the dead. Missions move between defending a position, switching on equipment, and moving while the swarm keeps coming. Humanity is on the brink, the tone stays blockbuster rather than bleak, and the job is simple: stick together, share ammo and medkits, and do not get separated when the horde calls.

Classes, guns, and upgrades

There are eight classes to level, including Gunslinger, Hellraiser, Slasher, Medic, Fixer, Exterminator, Dronemaster, and Vanguard, each with its own perks and play style. You unlock weapon upgrades and grow stronger to take on harder challenges. Pick the medic to keep everyone standing, the fixer to keep defenses stocked, or the slasher to wade in close. It pays to build around what your squad lacks, since a balanced team survives longer than four lone wolves.

Player versus player versus zombies

Beyond co-op, several Player vs Player vs Zombies modes pit teams against each other while the undead crash the party. You are watching two threats at once: rival players going for the objective, and a horde that does not care who wins. It keeps matches restless, since a quiet gunfight can turn messy when zombies spill in from the side streets.

Good to know?

What do the zombies do that is different?

They come in swarms of hundreds, pile up in corridors, and climb over each other to reach high ground, so fights feel like holding back a crowd rather than picking off loners.

Is it first-person or third-person?

It is a third-person shooter, which helps when zombies swarm from every side and you need to swing, dodge, and see what is climbing up behind you.

Is there anything besides the campaigns?

Yes. There are Player vs Player vs Zombies modes where teams fight each other while hordes attack both sides.
