Zombie Army 4: Dead War Reviews
Need a fun, atmospheric, campy, and sometimes humorous co-op zombie shooter? Zombie Army 4: Dead War is pretty much a no-brainer.
Despite some fun gunplay, the repetitive nature of the campaign means that the undead aren't the only ones wandering mindlessly
I actually played Zombie Army 4: Dead War enough that my hand began to hurt at one point because I couldn't put it down. It's delightfully gory and the gameplay is incredibly fun.Playing solo was fun, but it improved even further in co-op with a good group. I recommend this game in general, but I recommend it even more if you can convince some friends to pick it up at the same time.
A solid zombie shooter with plenty of replayability that struggles at time with pacing
A simple Zombie game to sit back and relax to while you split heads open like overripe watermelons, what's not to love?
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a great follow up to Rebellion's Zombie Army Trilogy. Everything not only looks better, but feels better and comes with tons of replayability.
Rebellion kept the core of the previous games, added many updated elements from Strange Brigade and made an excellent co-op zombie shooter game that you will throughly enjoy if you like this genre.

“Zombie Army 4: Dead War’s fun coop and well designed campaign elevates the franchise beyond being a mere spin-off”
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a very fun game that does not want to get lost in the plot or playable complexities that seem to prevail today and just wants you to have a good time in front of your console and de-stress yourself by ending these annoying "no dead people". A great game that stands out for the large amount of content and that is enjoyed more in company than alone as its multiplayer branch is the most enjoyable of the game and that extends the experience almost infinitely beyond its campaign.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War delivers all the archetypal aspects of zombie, lore from its Haitian folklore origins, novels, and iconic films. The storyline and gameplay have a classic B-movie vibe, and Rebellion gives the audience what they would want:gore, humour, and satisfying kills. The studio has taken the series to the next level with tons of undead, missions, and areas to explore. Even if this game is a player’s first experience of the Zombie Army franchise, it is a great title to start with. Rebellion has perfected the zombie shooter, and the titanic zombie shark transforms the game into somewhat of a masterpiece.
Making a zombie-based shooter game is especially hard when an idea is repeated thousands of times. Developers must redefine all items without duplication. Unfortunately, Zombie Army 4 is not a title that has been able to meet these challenges. The story of the game is almost void and completely disappears in the shadow of half-full gameplay. Duplicate stages, lack of variety and poor single-player content make Zombie Army 4 less valuable than its cheaper competitors such as Killing Floor 2. Of course, if you're a fan of such titles, the experience doesn't hurt. But if you're looking for a lasting choice, it's best to forget about Zombie Army 4.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a zombie fun house, bringing back good old fashioned co-op fun.
Zombie Army 4 feels like an old friend you're reconnecting with after a few years. Even though it's similar to its predecessors, the game has been refined into something that holds greater mass appeal. Weapon upgrading, fresh enemy design, and a packed progression system give players a reason to keep coming back. The core gameplay loop is even better more when tackled in co-op, yielding some hilarious and action-packed adventures. Despite the good, the game's core issues arise from a bland campaign that lacks the impressive set pieces and locations from the previous iterations.
In terms of would I recommend the game, yes I would, if you are the sort of person who likes the added challenge of big brutes breaking up your otherwise sniper fueled game then you will probably love it. If you've enjoyed the previous games in the series then this should be an easy choice of buy. If you are like me though and don't like having to totally shift gears and fight up close battles in a game that revolves around long range combat then maybe give it a miss… unless you regularly have group gaming sessions in which case multiplayer may well make it worth your while.
If you are looking for a fun co-op game, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is the answer even if you don't like zombie games, but don't expect any major changes over the past entries or new ideas compared to other zombie games.

New mechanics, enemies and a much more fluid campaign revitalizes what – to me – felt like a dead (no pun intended) franchise. Rebellion might have taken three games and a big gamble with Strange Brigade, but its foundations turn Zombie Army 4 one of the best games they’ve ever created.

This game is made for co-op play and I don’t think it would have been as much fun on my own. From screaming run or begging for someone to pick me up the laughter was always in abundance. Tight areas that made it damn near impossible to spray everything in sight kept the tension up along with a downed buddy in larger areas way away from everyone else. Zombie Army 4 looks highly improved and the gunplay is spot on. I don’t recall many complaints from the actual guns themselves just maybe more options. Some of the minor glitches of the game hold it back and the lack of variety with bosses was disappointing. The horde mode was quite different from the campaign as in the way it played and I felt it hurt the overall game. However, there is a lot to discover about the game and that might sound odd when speaking about a zombie game. This isn’t some major story-driven game, it’s about kicking zombie ass and it does it pretty well. Just make sure you bring a friend to the fight.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a title filled with contradictions and mistakes. It has no depth, and is not capable of convincing you to keep playing it. The story is bad and politicized. On the other hand, the gameplay is acceptable, and the Horde mode is pleasing

The Zombie Army franchise may have started off as a knockoff of the Call of Duty: Zombies mode, but it certainly has aged a hell of...Zombie Army 4...
