Zombie Army Trilogy Reviews
Zombie Army Trilogy is quite possibly one of the most entertaining video games ever. It's true value lies especially within its coop ability, however.
While the game is undoubtedly starting to show its age, Rebellion has done an excellent job of bringing this cult classic to the Switch while sacrificing surprisingly little in the process. With a lengthy campaign, addicting horde mode, and some of the best cooperative gameplay you can find on the Switch, it’s a gleefully gory shooter that no fans of the genre should pass up.
Zombie Army Trilogy perfectly combines three Nazi-filled chapters into one satanic package. Follow the exciting story from beginning to end(?) as you stand up against Hitler and his horrific hordes of nasty Nazis, determined to deliver every single one of them back to Hell. Whether you wish to take on this journey alone or with up to three friends/strangers, you’ll be constantly on the edge of your seat as you never know where the enemy will come from next. The Switch edition also introduces motion controls which greatly enhances the overall control you have over your character when engaged in intense combat – seriously, every game with a gun should have this option.
Zombie Army Trilogy won't be winning any rewards for innovation any time soon. It will most likely not get any best game of the year awards either. Doesn't stop it from being really fun to play, though. Just a lot of mindless zombie killing fun, which is really all you should have be looking for with this title to begin with.
Zombie Army Trilogy is a simple game that is a blast to play, at least online with friends. Outside of Evolve, this is the only other game I can think of that makes you play as a team to help complete sections of the game. And blowing a zombies head off from a long distance is just satisfying. The one thing I didn't really care for was the way this game was set up. Horde mode with objectives tends to get boring after a couple of hours. But this also makes it a game that can be played at your own pace. Plus with three games that have five chapters each for only $50, the game is a steal.
Zombie Army Trilogy may not do much new in the grand scheme of things, but everything that it does, it does well.
This is a superb game to have in your Switch collection, whether you're sat at home or travelling, you will get a kick out of this triple threat guaranteed. As ports go this one never skips a beat, and Rebellion again brings fresh life to an ageing game.
Zombie Army Trilogy on the Nintendo Switch is a good fit ultimately.
Zombie Army Trilogy is the full version that includes the two independent expansions of Sniper Elite V2 and a new campaign as a conclusion. The best of the game is its cooperative multiplayer of up to 4 players and its turn to the most arcade action, where we will have to face the Z plan of the Führer and destroy hundreds of terrifying beings from hell. Although it is not a new game, it offers uncomplicated fun, which is more than welcome.

So in the end, is the game worth picking up? If you're new to the genre or just looking for some mindless zombie killing fun, the game has plenty in store for you. While it doesn't necessarily stand out from the rest of the games in the genre, it's still a decent title with solid and enjoyable gameplay. If you liked the game, then you're in for a treat since Zombie Army Trilogy comes packaged with the previous games of the series and the first game even comes remastered.
Love zombies, hate Nazis? Zombie Army Trilogy is an impressive three game package that needs to be played co-operatively to get the most out of it. It can be a bit of a slog, but good enemy variety and level variety keeps it challenging and fun.
A new campaign for those looking for a bit more longevity out of the series, with some nice new features. However, for those looking for something largely different out of the series, you might be best looking elsewhere.
If you’ve never played Zombie Army Trilogy before and are wanting to pop some undead skulls, you should seriously consider picking this up. [OpenCritic note: Richard Seagrave separately reviewed the PS4 (7) and Switch (8) versions. The scores have been averaged.]
If you can get past the cheap-feeling engine and have three buddies on hand, you'll have a lot of fun with Zombie Army Elite. It's a blast to overcome particularly tough sections with a team, and hitting an on-point shot from 50 feet away can provide quite the rush. While the package has a lot of problems that prevent it from justifying that $50 price tag, I enjoyed my time playing the entire campaign online.
Zombie Army Trilogy knows what it wants to be, a straightforward zombie sniping game that lacks any real pretensions or delusions of grandeur. Parts of the trilogy are showing their age and difficulty spikes can sap away the fun, but steel yourself for a challenge, get some mates together and there's plenty to like about it.
A fun novelty buddy shooter that offers a pure enough experience but lacks real substance and character.
Zombie Army Trilogy feels a little less essential than other ports to the Switch, however it is technically a good port of a decent game. Firing slow-motion x-ray shots consistently is always a thrill.
It's hard to knock a game that delivers on what it set out to do, and that's exactly what Zombie Army Trilogy does very well. It won't appeal to everyone's tastes, but for those of you that enjoy the frantic co-op action that games of this nature provide, you'll find that Zombie Army Trilogy is a competent shooter, that will keep you entertained for hours of zombie killing fun.
If you want a great cooperative shooter to play with others online, Zombie Army Trilogy is the game you’re looking for.
Zombie Army Trilogy is a solid co-op shooter with a fantastically pulpy set-up that does exactly what it sets out to, pitting you and up to three other players against an almost endless army of gloriously gory undead Nazis and letting you snipe, shotgun and kick every last one of them to pieces. It may be of somewhat limited appeal when played solo, but gather together a crew or join forces with randoms online and this one springs to life, providing countless hours of admirably straightforward skull-smashing fun.
