Zombie Army 4: Dead War Reviews
While it borrows heavily from its sniper-focused counterpart, Zombie Army 4 doesn't feel nearly as engaging, and it fails to capitalize on its promises of over-the-top gameplay and horror.
Mindless co-op shooters can be alluring and Zombie Army 4: Dead War tries be one of those brainless games, but ends up being more braindead instead.
Ultimately, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is an amalgamation of tropes you’ve seen before, but it never quite nails any of them in a meaningful way.
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 is refreshingly guileless.
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

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.

The shooting is among the best around and the X-ray shots are endlessly entertaining. I just wish there were more here to hold my attention past a single playthrough.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War offers players fun gunplay and co-op against a never-ending horde of Nazi zombies but fails to do anything new or engaging.
Zombie Army 4 is the reanimated corpse of gaming’s past, stitched together from the best bits of Sniper Elite. It’s a B-movie pastiche stuffed with classic movie references and thousands of heads (and bollocks) to pop. But most importantly, it’s a new game. A new, fairly-enjoyable video game in 2020 – what a concept.
Rebellion has returned to a good-enough sub-series with a better-than-average sequel. Better visuals, better combat and better creativity has created an enjoyable game, but it still struggles against an always-increasing sea of undead competitors. While removing local co-op leaves a sour taste, it’s not a deal-breaker, but that core feature removal isn’t replaced with any feature that feels as substantial. It’s diminishing returns.
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...
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is perfect for those who want to have a good time killing zombies until dawn. A fourth part that expands what was seen in previous installments, with a succulent amount of unique and varied missions, but with a visual section somewhat left, but that is compensated by a fun, frenetic and full of possibilities gameplay.

And all without taking a break.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is the game-iest video game I’ve reviewed in quite some time, but it actually ended up being more entertaining than I thought. While the flow of gameplay is as one-note as it gets and the story is a complete waste of time, Zombie Army 4 still features an amusing 10-12 hour campaign and horde mode that’s best experienced in short bursts.
Zombie Army 4 is incredibly fun, especially when playing with friends, but I feel it could feature slightly more content. The good thing is that the developer promised us a handful of new maps. Until then, I will be polishing my weapons and I will keep throwing molotov cocktails at zombies.
Despite being a familiar game in a sea of others, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is still a fun zombie shooter with a wide variety of zombie types and fun levels.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War isn't without its faults, but mostly it's engaging and brutal in the right way. However, the core concept that has been with us since Left 4 Dead could definitely use some innovations and we can't tolerate the lack of ideas forever.

The fourth installment in the Zombie Army series finally got almost everything right by tweaking all the problems and issues from the first three games. It's still not flawless, but it is what Rebellion wanted it to be; and that's being fun to play.

A decent co-op game that offers nothing but killing tons of zombies. If that's enough for you and your friends, then go ahead and save Europe from the evil dead.
