I can’t speak to how Horde mode plays out cooperatively, but as a single-player experience, it’s shockingly similar to newer Call of Duty Zombies maps - particularly Black Ops 4‘s Voyage of Despair. You also have to scavenge for resources throughout the cramped tunnels of the subway. Here, waves of increasingly difficult zombies will berate players as they rack up their kill multiplier. Zombie Army 4‘s “Horde” mode takes the formula of its campaign and morphs it into something a bit more arcade-y. My personal favorite is the “Second Chance” perk, Zombie Army‘s take on Modern Warfare 2‘s classic “ last stand.” More perk slots become available as you level up, as do more powerful guns and attachments. There’s even a wide array of in-game perks to choose from, which can vastly differentiate the way you approach certain situations.

You can customize weapon skins, attachments, upgrades, charms. Not only can you fashion your character with Fortnite-esque dances and emotes, but you can personalize weapons as well. Narrative aside, there is a fairly robust loadout customization system in place for use before each mission. It’s unfortunate that some of the playable characters are already locked behind a paywall. Also, there may or may not be radioactive ghost snipers shooting at you throughout. There’s a real sense of urgency as players collect fuel canisters or open gates on the mainland, as more and more zombies approach by the second. While Zombie Army 4‘s missions might not be as memorable as those in Valve’s creation, they aren’t bad at all - Venice especially.ĭeath Canal drops players into the city’s famous narrow waterways on a dingy watercraft, constantly needing to stop for fuel or engine failure. Missions consist of three stages separated by a variety of “safe houses”, much in the same vein as Left 4 Dead. Each of these provides excellent zombie-killing environments. The game’s first two-story missions - “Dead Ahead” and “Death Canal” - take place in Milan and Venice, respectively. Zombie Army 4‘s campaign follows your group of survivors as they travel throughout different European cities in search of a safe area to hunker down from the Nazi Zombie attack.
