Zombi is an all round good zombie game. It doesn’t stand out above the rest as being a “must play” game, but if you are a zombie fan, you should most definitely check this game out. It wont be the best zombie game you ever played, but it’s fun. Good zombies, good survival, not a bad story and best of all it’s cheap!
Surprisingly fresh for a carcass
A failed opportunity to make use of reasonably more powerful hardware leaves ZOMBI in an unfortunate position whereby the original game is actually more appealing.
A potential classic let down by end-game design choices. A compelling take on the zombie apocalypse, supported by good voice acting and interesting locations. Credible, cautious exploration mostly makes up for clunky controls until end-game.
All in all, Zombi is a game that is much welcomed in the new platforms. It opens up a large space for a new audience barely compromising on features. It is a game where every aspect of it is very good, albeit never extraordinary. It's a very enjoyable game, but the combination of design choices make it feel both unique and strange.
Zombi defies the Wii U gamepad's supposed limitations and reanimates into its own impressive beast.
A unique infusion of roguelike mechanics into a surprisingly directed game, it's still got everything it had going for it back in 2012. Even that gamebreaking glitch.
For now you're not going to find many other games that allow you to take cricket bats to zombies, so that's something.
You'll soon find that the inventory becomes a chore as you have to juggle items around and leave valuable resources on the ground
A solid game, with a few minor port issues, but at a budget price one you should be at least flirting with the idea of playing.
Zombi's unique take on survival horror isn't enough to compensate for an otherwise bland experience.
We are firmly entrenched in era of gaming where seemingly every single video game ever is being repackaged, rebooted, remade, or just plain ripped off. 'Zombi' on the Xbox One isn't a rip-off, but nor did it really call out for a port. It could have been quite content to remain a halfway decent Wii U exclusive forever, but instead we have a flawed zombie game with a few novel mechanics lurking under the surface. It'll be interesting to see if Ubisoft elects to follow up with another 'Zombi' at some point this gen.
Only the diehard survival horror fans who missed this on Wii U would find enjoyment out of Zombi, and most other people will probably be appalled by the lackluster and shoddy conversion that Ubisoft dumped on digital marketplaces.
Spotty performance, a terribly boring aesthetic and a messy, cobbled together combat system amounts to something that had potential, but was beaten over the head with a cricket bat.
Zombi on XBox One is a port and is a clunk port but still has a few moments to shine on this next-gen console
This charming survival horror game is a Wii U exclusive no more, but can it compete on other platforms?
Zombi would be a tough sell at anything higher than its current asking price of $20. With a playtime of 6-8 hours including modest exploration, and three barely disparate endings that don't feel like much of an emotional payoff, I can only recommend Zombi to hardcore zombie game fans.
It's not a totally different game or remake, but it doesn't have to be. Zombi is still one of the best survival horror games of this generation. It's tense, split second decisions can make the difference between life and death, and inventory management is a must, a feature sorely lacking in most horror games these days. Every bullet counts, every health item matters, and Zombi still offers a fantastic time for those that never experienced it originally – and now at a great price.
