This is all done by utilising your stores of DNA, which are accumulated as you progress through the levels.
#ZOMBIE NIGHT TERROR EDITOR SERIES#
You can also trigger off mutations inspired by everyone’s favourite survival horror series to overcome certain obstacles crawlers can crawl (unsurprisingly) up walls, Boomers can explode and take out pesky barriers or floors (which is incredibly entertaining, as the poor residents below suddenly find it’s raining undead), and you can mutate some into huge, bullet-stopping titans, reminiscent of enemies from the Resident Evil games (and films, if you haven’t blocked them from your mind). However, zombies will be zombies, and the hoard, if left undirected, will simply shuffle constantly to the right of the screen into a wall or, worse, a fall.Īs disembodied puppet master, it’s your task to direct the walkers by instructing them to bash down doors, set up roadblocks to stop them coming to harm (well, y’know, MORE harm) and generally shepherd them around. For example, it’s best to pick the humans that have weapons as victims of the virus for obvious reasons. You’re able to create zombies using the aforementioned drug, albeit with consideration for strategy if you want to get past the first few levels. The obvious reference point is a mixture of Lemmings and The Walking Dead. This is very much a zombie puzzle game, or ‘Zuzzle’ game if you’re a fan of neologisms.

It’s strange to find yourself fall into a bizarre state of caring for your shambling plague, guiding them through the 2D landscape towards the next stage, like a loving parent with innumerable cannibalistic children. But neither does it need to be the action is easy to pick up and uses a simple point and click style. Obviously, as you’d expect from a game whose main protagonists are incapable of speech or thought, Zombie Night Terror is not big on plot.

Then again, no one plays a game called Zombie Night Terror to appreciate the subtleties. The references to genre favourites are as subtle as a sawn-off shotgun for one, the drug that causes the infection is called Romero.

While the plot and objectives may differ from what you’d expect from the horror genre, there’s still more than enough familiarity elsewhere. In a world not exactly short on opportunities to sink bullets into the unfortunate undead, it presents a different opportunity rather than quelling the problem, you are an omnipresent mastermind intent on spreading the zombie virus far and wide for reasons that are never really given or needed.

The final release will be available on Steam for PC and Mac, from small French independent studio Noclip.
#ZOMBIE NIGHT TERROR EDITOR FULL#
In the interests of full disclosure, the preview build of the game we received was a shortened Beta version, so I couldn’t tell you whether it becomes repetitive or even whether, after the 9th level, the whole game does an about-turn and becomes a jaunty Tetris rip-off. We were given a preview build of the game to see how it fares, ahead of a full launch. Misleadingly monikered Zombie Night Terror has everything to do with these staggering skeletons and, despite the second and third words of the title, nothing to do with screaming in your sleep and scaring the shit out of your cat. Still, all vampires seem to do these days is look moody and shag each other, so it’s not like there’s much competition. Some of this may be due to the social commentary you can overlay on any zombie film, pretending they’re actually all about capitalism or medicated drug use and not just gruesome rampaging corpses with their arms hanging off. It’s odd how the humble zombie has come to be society’s favourite monster these days, having recently and undoubtedly trounced the other nearest competitors, vampires.
