Age of Zombies review

Why are you reading this review? You should have already bought this game and played it a million times.


What is there to say about Age of Zombies...it's from HalfBrick for a start (in my opinion the single best Mini developer out there), and it's utterly hilarious. You play as Barry Steakfries, a man who has to travel through time to stop a legion of zombies who is travelling through time trying to destroy history. How could the premise of this game be any better?

Loading up the game, there are two options - the main game, and the survival mode. Without dwelling on the survival mode (as it is pretty much what you would expect it to be), it is good fun. You have the choice of several different settings for this mode, all of which are taken straight from the main game. Your task is to stay alive for as long as possible whilst destroying as many zombies as possible. It functions very much like the main game, except without the story elements, so without further ado...

...Onto the main game. Like i said, this is amazing. You start of walking in on a nutty professor who unleashes zombies on the past - and you, Barry Steakfries, set off back in times to save the world. Despite how ridiculously corny it sounds, hilarity ensues. Hilarious one liners are abundant in this game (i wont spoil any of them for you!). Gameplay is pretty standard really - you pick up weapons off the floor (such as submachine guns and flamethrowers) and you have to destroy a set amount of zombies before the story will carry on.

With the fairly simply controls (d-pad to move, face buttons to rotate your body, and shoulder button to shoot), and the hilarious story, this is without doubt the single best Mini on the service. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend this Mini to all of you. Swearing, one liners, zombies, egyptian mummies, Al Capone...This game has everything!
