Zombie Army 4: Dead War Review – Dead Shot

Lumbering on to the PS4 this week is Rebellion's Zombie Army 4: Dead War. Is this the heart pumping, sphincter tightening zombie action game you've been waiting for, or a decomposing, rotten entry in an over-saturated genre? Gameplay The cor(ps)e mechanics of Zombie Army 4 are the same as previous entries. With tight shooting and some hellish slow-motion sniper kills, the game feels responsive and satisfying when annihilating the countless amount of zombies. Each of the game's 9 missions is themed and presented like a classic Hammer Horror, showing that the developers understanding of the genre. Missions are quite simplistic and as a result of this, you may feel a bit brain dead running from one point to another and then shooting endless zombies. There is some variety, such as blo...
