OMG Zombies has a nifty comic book style story telling device but the core gameplay mechanics are classic characteristics for a tablet game ported over to desktop.

Would not recommend, fun for a few minutes then it gets old real fast. Simple puzzle game.

OmG Zombies!!! fun little puzzle shooter, too bad they want you to complete the game 20 times for 1 trophy.... it took ten hours for 1 prestige, 20 is out of the question. Have Fun!

Well worth the .99 cents I paid, fun, fast and semi addictive. Lost its luster after prestige, but I will definitely come back to it when I need to kill 30 minutes here or there.

NIce little timewaster. Nowt special but a tidy little game - I recommend this game for its dip in and out feel that kills boredom for a few minutes at a time

This game caught me off guard. I do admit its a very violent yet fun game. If you love to kill as many zombies as you can, this is the game for you! Certain parts of this game is straight forward while some levels are harder. I do recommend this game if you havent already played it!

This game feels like a free Flash game. It is very simple and makes the player go back to replay levels in order to get higher scores. If you are a completionist, then this may be a good game for you, as it doesn't take much actual effort to complete.

Two words - amazing game!

I bought this game when it was on sale, but i didn't played at first (i was little bit sceptical about it). After 1 month having nothing much to do, i thought why don't i give it a try now. And so it begins...

I got insta absorbed by this game. Played 8.5 hours straight in 1 day. Time was flying. Unlocked all 100 levels and finished them all in gold medals (around 30 platinum medals so far). Now im keep on playing to get all steam achevements including 100 platinum medals.

In short you have 3-6 bullets to kill 100-160 zombies. You wonder how is it even possible? Well all 8 zombies classes have specific abilities and use them as they die. Obviously if you want to win you must strategically chain kill zombies. Thats all, dont want spoil more.

WARNING: For acevement hunters. Last achevement is unbelievably hard to get (you have to beat the game 100% for 20 times). So who want get all achevements be warned.

Wonderful game. Worth the price. Could not recommend more!

A simple point and click casade game, though the Grayscale theme is a bit offputting at first, once you get used to it, its a rather amusing game to play. In my opinion, its a game well worth the spare few dollars, and should work on nearly any pc since the game itself isn't hefty on the graphics.

Love this game. It starts out at casual fun, but develops into something you can't put down. I've played (and finished) the game on both Steam, PSP and PS3, and all were equally good. Describing the actual game is kind of redundant as the video is pretty descriptive. But the key gameplay is starting chain reactions and upgrading your (and the zombies') abilities.

This game is addicting. I thought it was going to be a stupid low budget zombie shooter. Yea it is stupid, but in a good way. I actually enjoyed it and had a hard time pulling myself away from playing.

Abhorrent_Anger

Unexpectedly fun casual puzzle game. The gameplay consists of a rather simple point and click control mechanic, where the goal is to create chain reactions of violently dying zombies. The levels are made of varying types of randomly spawned zombies placed within a rather open arena artificially inhibited by obstacles. The goal is to clear as many of them as possible with the limited ammo and properties said zombies have. Additionally, there are upgrade paths which enhance favourable characteristics of the enemies and the player for easier perfect completions of levels.
Since it's a PC port from a mobile platform, the on-screen menu system is a bit awkward, and the graphics look like they're from pre-millennium era, which would have been forgivable as a stylistic choice, but most likely is a side effect of poor upscaling.
Replayability-wise, getting 100% on all 100 levels amounts to about 6h-10h of playtime, including replaying some of the stages after getting all of the upgrades. However, the achievement suggesting fully finishing the game for 20 times is down-right ridiculous.
All in all, considering the game has trading cards, it's worth picking up for it's addicting gameplay and relatively cheap price, especially if it's on a sale.

* Addictive

* Fun

* Easy gameplay, works well with mouse

* Different zombie characters with different killing abilities (explode, scream, fire bullets, electrocute, melt)

* Runs smoothly on my very-old-laptop-with-WindowsVista

* Toggle colorblind mode - easier to see the different zombie characters

* Toggle health mode on zombies, you don't need to hover your mouse over *every* zombie in order to see which one is most likely to get killed by one shot

* 100 stages

* Very retro inspired, I like the zombie roars and screams

* Encouraging you to find the longest chain of exploding zombies - snipe out the right one and you can wipe out the whole stage with one shot - it's very fulfilling to see the bullets bounce

-

* The randomness of bulletspreading when you shoot a cop/soldier zombie - never rely on them to take out others if you only have a couple of zombies left and one bullet yourself, their bullets bounce however they like AND the zombie often turns a completely different direction exactly once you shoot it

* Some zombies stop exploding past stage 3 or whatever, they only go "poof" and that's it - shoot the wrong one and you only take out just that one instead of 30

Overall a very fun and well done game, I'd recommend it to everyone except those being achievement hoarders and complaining about the 20 prestiges you have to do in order to complete the game 100% - it will probably take more time than you're willing to spend with it, no matter how fun it is. No, I don't have the last achievement, but I still enjoy playing the game occasionally, but yeah it does bother me just a little bit...

This is a flash-style game in the line of those old websites with minigames. It remimds me (in its own style) to Infectonator but in reverse. Very funny and fresh to play, but 4,99€ is a bit too much. Season sales are the best moments to get it.

If you're into achievements don't buy it. To get them all you have to beat the whole game (100 levels) with good grade... 20 times!

Oyunu çözmek çok uzun sürmüyor, belki çözene kadar biraz sıkıcı gelebilir. Oynadıkça da oynayası geliyor insanın, zaman öldürmek için çok eğlenceli bir oyun. Ama oyunun ömrü çok uzun değil ve de indirimdeyken almak daha mantıklı.

It's fun to see dozens of zombies of all kinds randomly splatter in a massive chain reaction, but the operating word here is 'randomly'. The entire game is based on luck, mostly, while the skill part consists of your ability to wait until the remaining, randomly moving zombies that you failed to kill in the randomly occuring chain reaction bunch up the way you want them to, which is rarely. Can't recommend.

VeldMuis

I don't know about other people but by focusing on the store page alone it was hard for me to understand exactly what was going on. So to set it more clearly:

There is only limited bullets with which to try and kill as many zombies as possible on the level by setting of chain reactions. There's different zombies that each does something different when killed. The zombies move around alot, so you must time the shot perfectly while also considering what zombie to shoot.

For example the normal zombie will only explode when shot, damaging other zombies around it. Not all zombies explode, based on what the other zombies are they will either explode if a normal zombie, melt and create a shortly timed acid pool, fire a bullet in the direction they're facing, or run and explode when they collide with something. These are only half the different zombies and as can be seen you must also take into account the facing of the zombies. As the levels get harder the zombies get more health, so it's better to shoot a weak zombie and have it's effect chain to other zombies.

There's also upgrades that allows you to increase your ammo and the potency of zombies when killed. So this makes for a very fun little game where you must think before you act, time it perfectly and try to kill as many zombies as possible with the limited ammo.

The levels are short and fun and alot of replay value as you buy upgrades and try to reach the 100% zombies killed mark!

This is a fun & addicting game. You shoot zombies to cause a chain reaction that will kill as many zombies as possible. You have limited bullets, multiple types of zombie deaths (expoding, shooting, melting, etc..), and various upgrades to get the job done with. I find myself hopping on and playing a couple boards at a time, multiple times a day. I also have this on PS3, but seem to enjoy it more on PC!

OMG Zombies is more like a puzzle game.

You see zomies moving an you need to kill much as possible.
This game is or looks like a port from Tablet platform.
Don't have any problems with that only it feels it likes it does not work perfectly.
Even after finding out how the games works... it feels not giving me a great challange.
It's not a horrible video game only I recommand to look for something else.

I give this game a 6/10 score.

Love the game. Flash-style game that is uses a small luck mostly. Have to cause a chain reaction by killing one zombie. Game does progress to something when you get more into the game leading you with new zombies, upgrades, and maps. Only thing it lacks is lack of content. Wait till it goes on sale to buy

Pros
upgrades
different zombies
trading cards
many maps

Cons
Not work 4.99
to get 1 achievement have to beat the game 10 times. (wont be achieved in an hour or 2)
mobile port

OMG Achievement!
I wanted to do the Game to 100% for the "Achievements" but I'm not going to play the Game 20 times on full platinum
for the Achievement.

The Game on it is pretty simple...
You just wait for the correct Zombie who explode, Taze, Shot, etc... and Shoot at "it" to get a Combo of alot of Zombies
killing in a big Massacre with your few shot's you got in your Gun.
Trying to do 1 of the 100 Maps on doing it on Gold or even better Platinum!
Trying to do the whole lvl with only 1 Bullet out of your Gun! * To feel like a Hero *

I REALLY like this game. I get to figure out the best way to clear each level it throw at me and sometimes it's hard! I welcome the challenge though. Any game that exercises my brain in a fun way is fine by me.

Storyline is plausible as well. There's a plant that explodes and if it does, whatever it explodes near r on, becomes infected. Scientists discovered and were trying to do away with it but... well, just watch the intro short to know how everyone one wound up. It's much more exciting than me explaining it. Anyway, you are assgned the task of killing zombies with x amount of bullets to hopefully produce a chain reaction of death. There are different zombie types that help you create death chain which means you have to strategize who to shoot. Do you shoot the Soldier zombie who can shoot its gun a few times in different, random directions? Perhaps the Runner who will run and then explode? Maybe the zombie that when shot, turns into a puddle of acid? Depending on the level you can have all these, some of these, none of these or these plus more.

There's also an upgrade system. Want more bullets? Want zombies you shoot to do more damage? Earn cash by clearing levels satisfatorily (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and buy the upgrades you want.

It's a great little game and I highly reccommend it. Good stress reliever but mostly, just plain, ol' fun.

OMG Zombies!. How can one come up with a title so great and yet so stupid at the same time? Laughing Jackel found a way.
In OMG Zombies!, you play as a unnamed riot armour clad police officer who is the sole survivor of a zombie apocalypse in the city of Redfield. For reasons unexplained in-game, the zombies in OMG Zombies! literally explode when shot, showering their zombie brethren with gore and causing chain reactions of showering zombie gibs with just a single bullet. Your cop is going to have to learn to use his rifle to it's fullest potential if he's going to escape Redfield alive.
The game is a good stratagy game with great gameplay and graphics. The spritework is incredible, and it has a lot of gore. It also has a ton of unlockable secrets and secret comics that are just incredible. However, overall, OMG Zombies! is a time waster, but it is a very good time waster. If you like stratagy, you should try this game out. If you don't, I wouldn't recommend OMG Zombies!.

I'd like to preface this review by first saying that while I am giving this game a positve review, I cannot recommend buying it at full price. Five dollars is a bit much for this game, in my opinion. If you are thinking of trying this game out, get it while it's on sale.

I'm really surprised at the amount of negative reviews on here for this game. I've personally enjoyed playing it so far; it's a nice game to kill some time with when you don't feel like immersing yourself into a less-casual, more attention-consuming game. But you have to keep this in mind - it's a much more casual game than most other zombie-themed games out there. While it's hard to describe exactly what genre OMG Zombies! fits into, it's clear right from the beginning that you are going to have use strategy to plan out how you will complete each level. It's something of a puzzle game, forcing you to carefully plan out each shot that you take (as your ammo is extremely limited). The zombies all have unique attributes that allow them to set off chain reactions with other zombies upon their death, giving you the ability to take out 10's of zombies at a time with a single bullet.

There is something of a skill tree in this game, in which you spend money that you earn from each level to power up not only your own weapon and ammo, but also the attributes that the zombies possess, allowing each zombie to deal more damage, or deal damage for a longer duration. It isn't the greatest application of a skill tree that I've seen, but it could have been far worse. The one contention that I do have with it is the complete lack of variety when it comes to weapons; you have one gun for the entire game (unless I'm mistaken, but it doesn't look like it so far).

The levels themselves are ok. Visually, they are pretty bland, but I feel that it actually goes well with this game. While the layouts change slightly, the gameplay remains virtually the same. You may have to occasionally alter your tactics very subtly, but not by much. The difficulty rises at a good pace, I feel. Some levels prove to be fairly challenging, but once you finally kill off most of the zombies and get a gold medal for the level (or all of the zombies, on a rare occasion, securing you the platinum medal), it brings you quite a sense of accomplishment.

In short, OMG Zombies! is a good game if you can get it for the right price. It's not a game that I can see anyone pumping a hundred hours into, but you can get a decent amount of fun out of it for the price of a candy bar.

OMG Zombies! is a fun little game in which you kill zombies.

It's the zombie apocalyspe and you are a surviver trying to stay alive, kill all zombies, and I guess find other people. I didn't really pay any attention the comics that appear at the beginning of the game and later levels so I'm not sure of everything that's going on but I don't feel like it matters. What matters is this: all the zombies explode.

Yes, that's right, they explode in "a gush of red foam" (to quote Bloodbath's song Buried by the Dead; or think of the scene from Army of Darkness). I feel like that's the only appeal of this game: seeing tons of zombies exploding in big chains (there is a problem there though, I'll get to that).

It's not the most interesting or fun game, but I think it's fun enough to play for a few hours or so. I like simpler, casual games like this as something to play while doing other things.

Unfortunately there is a lot of randomness in the game. Each time you start a level, the positions of all zombies and barrels are randomly generated. So sometimes a level can work out really well getting you high %, other times it goes horribly. You just have to keep trying.

There are upgrades for all zombies, your weapon, and the barrels. You can't pick and choose which upgrades you want when you want them, they are in a forced order. The first time I played this game, I upgraded zombies whose first upgrades were population, not damage or range, and ended up started over because I actually made things harder.

With 100 levels and not many level designs (and some are very similar to each other) it could be too repetitive for some people. And either because of this or because of the whole game, it could be too boring.

But I am easily amused by some things, and zombies exploding into blood is one of those. If this sounds like fun to you, I recommend you get this game on sale.

I have to admit…. I wasn’t entirely thrilled to feature another apparent mindless zombie game on Steamified. The genre has been done to absolute death – pun semi intended. Then I saw the entire first page of reviews were thumbs down (at least to me) and I thought “Oh, great… Here we go again.” For someone who really tries not to go into any game to be featured on Steamified without too many preconceptions I knew that I was going to be full of them this time around. And yes, I had heard of the game prior to the creation of the site.

The game starts with a comic book style presentation that introduces the game, its story, characters and the setting. It’s actually pretty neat and a very nice touch. It certainly immerses you into the game in a smart manner. The action then gets underway and we discover a game that is easy to learn and pretty difficult to master until you’re very comfortable with how the plethora of different zombie types splatter. The object with each shot is to create the greatest chain reaction. Every zombie that you kill does a different thing upon death. For example, you might have a police zombie that will fire bullet(s) in different directions and for each bullet that hits another zombie will cause that zombie to perform its splatter pattern which may be creating a pool of zombie matter that destroys every other zombie that touches it, etc. In order to advance further into the game you need to kill a certain percentage of zombies on each level.

Thankfully to aide your zombie killing spree there are upgrades. Each level that you successfully complete will give you a reward in the form of cash that you can spend on getting upgrades. You can upgrade your weapons or you can upgrade the different zombies and have their damage increase over total damage, time, distance or even increase their population, Upgrading your weapons allows you to even have more bullets at your disposal. It’s a good upgrade system and one in which you will have to strategically plan for which upgrades will benefit your playstyle the most.

I really enjoyed the time that I spent with OMG Zombies! It’s not the greatest game in the world but it’s certainly one where given it’s level structure you can spend a few minutes just firing away on zombies and have a bit of relaxing fun over a short period. In that respect it’s a pretty solid game. It achieves what it sets out to achieve and on that basis I can recommend it.

All you need to know is that "for cool and unimportant reasons", Redfield City's army of the undead literally explode when shot. Under normal circumstances, this would make clearing the streets of drooling beings rather simple, but this is video gaming we're talking about. Since when is anything straightforward?

With all but one of your team having been wiped out, you arrive at the epicenter of the outbreak inexplicably short of ammunition. What this means, soldier, is that you have three bullets to deal with the undead horde, and have to set off chain reactions to rid the streets of this menace.
Not all zombies are created equal, and some have more explosive energy, while others loose off a few rounds of their firearm in their death throes.

The upshot of a good performance is money, and once you've got enough of the stuff you can set about buying upgrades that, for example, give you more bullets or inflict more damage. Others, meanwhile, grant you more explosive zombies, or increase the radius of their acidic ooze, which generally makes it easier to make a big bloody mess.

All of this adds up to a monstrously addictive quick-fire affair that utterly nails what on-the-go handheld gaming should be about.

Boring puzzle. Gameplay: you are staying in the safe area & waiingt for slowly moving zombies to group for your several shots per level.

Not a bad zombie game that is a bit strategy (although I would like to point out a LOT of luck is involved :/ ). However, I'd rather wish there was a "maybe" recommendation. On one hand, I liked the game because I just HAD to get the dang gold medals. I also liked that it is a simple (yet frustratingly) easy game (that may take HOURS and HOURS to beat). On the other hand, there is a lot of work to go through getting the final achievement in this game. A LOT of repetition and failures. It is not fun. I wouldn't mind it so much if the requirement for it wasn't so high, but it's just a pain...

However, like I said, it's not a bad zombie game. If you can get it cheap (or free), I'd say go for it. However, I don't recommend buying it for full price. Also, be aware that MANY hours are required to get all the achievements (unless you cheat).

mynicknameforawhile

The game is worth buying for the price, since it is very cheap (49 JPY, about half a dollar). However, if you want to have a fun time and get all the achievements done, I would not recommend this game.

In this game, you shoot exploding zombies to make a chain reaction with three to six bullets in a level. There are 100 levels and they can be quite tough to beat if you make mistakes in upgrading on zombies, explosive barrels or your rifle.
The idea of the game could be fun, but the current game is not because of the fact it almost depends on your luck, not on your skill. It seems all the settings (starting locations of zombies and exploding barrels, moving directions and duration of zombies, and so on) depends on randomness, and the player cannot control this randomness at all, except to choose retry. You will have to try around 15 times (in average) to eliminate all the zombies in a level. If you prefer fulfilling achievements, you have to repeat beating all the levels 21 times. It is a long journey of rather just throwing a dice so many times, not challenging your skills. There is a seldom chance of joy in watching your careful one shot resulting in a complete massacre of zombies.

There should be some modification to allow players to apply their skills; a bait, a yelling, barrels located more dispersed (or designed), environmental kills (falling obstacles to kill zombies and limit their movements afterwards), or zombie attributes attracting other zombies.

This might be the stupidest game I've ever played, but it's also the most addictive. Objectively speaking, I should hate it. But it just keeps sucking me back in again and again.

The premise is simple. You have limited ammo, and must kill as many zombies as possible. So how do you do it? A strategically places shot sets off a chain reaction of zombie explosions.

Graphics

Who are we kidding? This game is ugly as sin. All you see is black and white with a little bit of red. One other reviewer said he nearly went blind playing this game. Frankly, I believe him. If you stare at this all day, your eyes will hurt.

Sound

You want to annoy everyone in your house? Play this game on a surround sound system like I have. Every time you select a zombie, it groans. And not in a nice way, in a repetitive way. As for music? Ha! This is like chains being dragged along a metal stairwell. I'm not joking.

Control

This is one of the best aspects of the game. You can play with either a mouse or a controller. There's no configuring. You can just go straight into the action. Mind you, this isn't a game that requires dexterity since you're really just pointing to a zombie and shooting. Still, you have to precise since it's just so easy to shoot the wrong zombie.

Hardware

I can play this on any modern PC. I got it working on my gaming rig running an A8, my cheap 11" laptop running a Celeron, my Lenovo tablet running an Atom. I realize PC gaming culture is mostly about pushing specs higher and higher, but there's something to be said about a game that really can run anywhere -- provided it's running Windows. Speaking of which, I really would like to see this ported to Linux or Mac.

Gameplay

Here's an example of gameplay absolutely trumping specs. There is nothing visually appealing about this game. I have seen Atari 2600 games that look more aesthetically pleasing than this one. But so what? There is nothing so satisfying than shooting one zombie then seeing the rest of them explode. Doing it all with one shot? That's the definition of fun.

XineBBSA

Madly addictive, this is a very simple, but clever game. It's one of those 'Just one more go' to see if you can finish each level 100% and then if you can finish each level with just one shot. The mayhem with a single bullet and zombies following their actions is great to behold!

For the price, it's an amazing price and I've spent far, far too long playing this! :)

TheUnGodOfU

Reminds me of a Pachinko game, except the balls are bullets and the bumpers are zombies. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not; it is always fun to watch! Good mindless timewaster. Can't beat the value.

BTW- May be a spoiler because this will let you beat the game faster (~4-6hrs). It is a grind to beat the game 20 times for the last achievement, but the strategy is simple: Don't waste time going for 100% on missions that involve zombies you have not leveled up yet. Pound through each mission with a couple tries and when you get stuck on the tree, go back down to levels you have upgraded zombies on. Upgrade based on current need for firepower and previous need for populations.

The comic illustrations are awesome, but the gameplay is decent. Got bored so played One Finger Death Punch which was more enjoyable and addicting!

OMG Zombies! and One Finger Death Punch debuted weeks apart with similar HDD space. Both games are just meant to pass the time on a rainy day when you're too hung over to play anything else.

THE GOOD: Easy to pickup, strategy is good, upgrades, decent aesthetic, diverse enemies, cool concept.

THE BAD: Sound gets annoying after awhile, levels can be inconsistent in difficulty, game hangs my PC when I quit it.

Nice and simple concept that is quite addictive. Only stopped playing because of the hang when I quit.

Wanted to like this, but the several flaws won't let me.

"I like chain reaction games so adding a zombie theme would only make it better, right?". I was wrong. This game can be fun at first but I'll just go ahead and list the reasons for my negative review:

• Too much grinding to upgrade;
• 100 levels trying to be 2000 with an achievement asking you to finish the game 100% 20 times (DAFUQ DEVS?);
• Big levels with too much space for the zombies to wander around adds too much randomness to each attempt (you can get 20% on a level, re-do it with nothing different and get 90%);
• Weird / random level progression - Levels are arranged in a kind of triangular shape where levels on top are easier and bottom are harder despite their # - and you unlock random numbered levels as if the order 1 - 100 meant nothing at all;
• Story is not engaging, "Comic book" pages popping up ALL THE TIME makes me hate the fact it even has one;
• Lazy / amateurish art - Everything in this game could look so much better. The only thing I like is the pixel art on the zombies, but their colored version is literally a color filter on top of the whole model so screw it;

OMG Zombies! developed by Laughing Jackal LTD and released to the PC on: Feb 13, 2014. According to Meta Critic (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/omg-zombies!) it has:

        • an average user score of 5.2 - from 5 user reviews at this time of writing.

Honestly speaking, this is going to turn into my second “brutal honest review mode activated” writing and when that happens, you know you are in for a treat of unforgiving bashing, forbidden lashing out art that will make you go OMG! instead of OMG zombies!

For those who prefer TLDR kinda thing, read this: I'd strongly advice people to explore; read and watch game play footages to understand clearly what this product's is all about before you even think about purchasing because this will make you slap yourself and utter OMG.

This is one of the many products in steam which I would hammer and pound it into bits & pieces and pour the remains into a shredding machine and encapsulate whatever's in the bin to be shipped to outer space headed straight into the blackhole@oblivion - in hopes that no living being in the Milky Way system would ever find this garbage. Ever.

The Story
OMGZ starts off with a video presentation explaining about a virus outbreak and it doesn't explain who you are or how you get tangled into this bio-warfare fiasco. You are a sharp shooter. Whatever that means. By default, you are armed with a weapon with just only 1 bullet and your goal is to kill off all the zombies on your screen with that single bullet. AND The best part of it, you will be repeating this for next 100 levels and you can reset and repeat the 100 levels over again & again & again if you wish to get full achievement.

The Controls
Very simple. Mouse click.

The Visuals.
IT's a 2D top down view. Plain. Colorless. Soulless. Bland environment with what looks like a badly drawn up zombies..however credit must be given to the zombie concept/variations. Exploding zombies, to zombies that launch it's brain with a mini aoe effect, screaming zombie & etc. However, on a whole the visuals is rather tasteless for me. Greyish background accompanied with striking solid blue, green, yellow, red color zombies.

My personal thoughts:
My initial impression OMGZ started off quite good with a video introduction but after 20 minutes of game play, everything becomes horribly clear that all you'll EVER and ONLY be doing is trying to clear the entire screen of zombies with a single/4 bullets. for the next 100 levels!

It does have an upgrade system where you are able to invest in your sharp shooting abilities and invest into zombies to upgrade their level which will improve their ability so that you can clear them off from your screen much better. Actually, its not much better. It's a must.

The game core gameplay/mechanics is very simple. Clear off the entire zombie on your screen with your stationary character with a rifle. With all this upgrade, it's meaningless because it feels more like RNG/Luck. All your effort and time spend on grinding for upgrade – ends up heavily relying on luck to complete the game. There is no challenge. Even mobile games are more interesting – or dare I say more intellectually designed to engage people over time. The last stand and rebuild are zombie themed game – FLASH GAME which is so much more interesting. In fact if yo go to armour games or kongrate, 90% of the games there are so much more interesting that this OMFGZ crap.

There is no character progression. There is no weapon progression. There is no skill base progression. Here upgrade your default gun and all the other zombies. Complete 100 levels? Why not repeat and do it again!

-writing in tears-
My gripe is on the unjustified 100 level/map. There is no reason for the 100 levels especially if you start recycling videos and monsters at higher levels. WTF am I seeing the same video for multiple levels?! WHY?! DOES THAT ENHANCE MY GAME PLAY EXPERIENCE? You make me stand still and kill hundreds..thousands of zombies for 100 levels?! -rips keyboard and mouse out-

The scope of this game is on a small scale, it should have been designed for short, simple gaming experience. Instead what we got here is a pro-longed suffering, uninteresting game play experience. No innovation. No side quest/other things that you can do aside from wiping off zombies from your screen. That's what I will remember OMGZ for. Do I want another product like OMGZ? ##cking No. Just No. Yuck No.

Forget the drums. I'll go straight to it. My personal rating for OMG Zombies! Is a zombiefied 3/10. -walks away-

You begin each level in OMG Zombies relatively safe from the zombies. You can take your time and pick them off at will, the twist comes when you realise you only have three bullets, not nearly enough to slay them all.

Your bullets are coated with a special pathogen with causes the zombies to explode on impact. As one explodes it will cause others nearby to do the same thus causing a very satisfying chain reaction. With careful consideration, a good aim and a bit of luck it is possible to clear the whole screen with one shot.

Adding to the game there are also different types of zombie that will react differently upon there expiration. Police zombies will fire a single shot across the screen, bloaters explode, corrosive zombies leave a pool of acid behind, soldiers fire bullets which ricochet and so on.

A well placed shot which obliterates all the zombies feels absolutely gratifying. There is an element of luck involved due to the random placement of enemies but, this does not stop OMG Zombies from being any less addictive. To platinum every level will take some time and once it grabs you won’t want to stop until you have them all.

THE GOOD
- An interesting approach to the zombie genre.
- Setting off a huge chain is very satisfying.
- Very well designed.
- The puzzle and tactical elements are fun to figure out.

THE BAD
- Some levels will need to be replayed over and over to advance.

7/10

This is a fun game, and once you've figured out the way each type of zombie works, it's not hard to figure out what you need to do in each level. The blood spatters and chain reactions are incredibly satisfying, and the upgrade system is self-explanatory. My only complaint is that, if you're a perfectionist with achievements, the one for prestiging 20 times is a bit of a bear. I've got almost 49 hours of play time, and I think I've prestiged... five times? Six? There's no way to tell how many times you've done it, as far as I can find, either. And it's not like each time you prestige it gets more challenging; it's just the same stuff all over again, clearing levels, buying upgrades, clearing more levels, and then hitting the prestige button again. The first couple of times it's fine, there's still satisfaction to be had from getting platinum on all levels, but after that it's really just a timesink, all for a single achievement. The devs are aware that people don't like it, and have even agreed in threads on this topic that perhaps it's a little excessive, but they still haven't patched it to make it less tedious. So I'd say, if you don't care about 100% achievements on games, get this, it's a fun way to pass time while watching TV or Youtube, but if you're a completionist, maybe stay away. It's fun, but not THAT fun.

Edit, 9/28/17: Just 100%'d the game, and I've never been happier to uninstall something. To do that, I had to download someone else's save file that was up to 19 prestiges, and get to the 20th one myself. I still can't recommend the game unless you don't care about achievements; it's so incredibly tedious trying to get that last one that all possibility of fun is sucked out of the game. If you only had to prestige, say, five times, and it got a little more difficult or ANYTHING changed with each prestige, that would be a lot better, without feeling impossible or tedious.

TLDR: Try to chain kill zombies. Takes grind and luck to clear enough stars for upgrades. Not a good game design.

On top of the gameplay issues the game is all gray and the presentation of zombies have them clip on top of each other sometimes leading to missing shots on certain zombie types which can mean you have to replay a level. It is easy to get walled away from progression because the zombies that spawn in the next levels are not upgraded to cause additional damage. Even when being patient and making every shot count you can never quite tell if you will luck out and get a large chain or if you will have no luck and have the chain end very early due to missed area of effect randomization.

A fantastic simple zombie game. Great to play causally and with some thought put in it. In between work, play a few levels, resume back, that kind of game.

Pros:
- You basically need to chain attacks, upgrade the zombies to chain attack better and you weapon. More damage, range, special attacks, that kind of thing.
- TOTALLY new way to approach combat (atleast for a zombie game). That is the best part. A thinking zombie game.
- Mulitple endings

Cons:
- The interface sux as there is stuff which can't be seen and one has to use WASD keys to scroll. I fumbled upon it.
- Graphics aren't charming, they could've just used their comic book graphic itself from the story and it would've worked better. No need for pixelated graphics here as it doesn't feel old-school as it is quite different from what you've ever played.

I will warn you that the graphics are grey tones and depressive, but the game has an interesting gameplay where you've got just a few bullets to kill 100 zombies through a chain reaction of exploding gibs. Then you can buy some upgrades to have more bullets or make more damages.

However if you want to get all achievements you better forget about it because you need to complete the game like 20x times...

So it is a good game but a bit expensive for its flash-style graphics.

More fun than expected. Try it out in a sale.

OMG Zombies! is an overall simple yet fun game where you fight trough zombies on a set frame(as shown in the pictures above). You're a sniper and your goal is to eradicate as many zombies as possible. Though there's a twist, you start every round with just a handful of bullets, which means you have to make use of the zombies special abilities to cause chain reactions. You do this by simply killing a zombie, preferably one with low health.

The game consists of 100 zones, many maps which are similar but offers different types of zombies. Each of the zombies abilities can be upgraded for cash you get by completing each stage. It's bit of a grind to get 100% achievements, but it's entirely possible. The last achievement is a late-late game achievement where you have to prestige(finish the game) 20 times and reset.

The only negative thing about this system is that it does not offer any bonus for doing so. You're literally starting all over again. It's a bit of a grind at start but ramps up quite quickly. You may end up spending more time getting platinum for the last zones that has not been 100% completed yet, compared to the first 50 or so zones.

To progress and open up new areas, you simply have to acquire any rating. The rating consists of bronze, silver, gold and platinum, where the latter is acquired by killing all zombies. The higher you get, the more adjacent zones you will unlock. The path you take is entirely up to you but the amount of zones that needs to be completed for prestige remains the same.

At the current price of €5, I'd say it's worth it, but I wouldn't really pay any more for the game. It's the kind of game you play casually on one side of your screen while doing more important stuff at the other side.

This is an edited review, the original was a negative review.

I couldn't see all the levels and didn't know that you had to click and drag to see the others. A note saying that wouldn't be amiss since there isn't click and drag anywhere else in the game that I've found.

The first is relatively minor and has to do with the gameplay itself. Its really easy to miss your target because you're aiming for such a small point so it leads to a lot of shooting the wrong zombie or missing entirely which can completely ruin a level because you have such limited bullets.

I switched on the game thinking "Hey! ill kill some zombies!" ended up clicking 3 times per mission.
This game is a waste of brain activity.
Do not buy this game unless you want to click on 3 zombies to kill as much as you can of the rest of them through different effects of the death of those 3, that chain and kill the rest.
-.-" This did not amuse me.

I don't know what it is about this game that's so entertaining, but I have enjoyed completing it at least 5 times on 4 different systems over the years. I'm not sure that I'd pay the full $5 for it (I got it as a PSPlus free game, and I'm sure that I got it on sale here) but it's entertaining enough to put a couple of bucks into it.

OMG what a great and cool game!! when I bought it, I did not think it would be so much fun. It is without time pressure. I bought it on sale, but even with normal price, it definitely worth it, does anyone know similar games?

sehr gutes und cooles Spiel, als ich es gekauft habe, hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass es soviel Spass machen würde. Es ist ohne Zeitdruck. Ich hab es im sale gekauft, aber selbst mit normalpreis lohnt es sich auf jeden Fall, kennt jemand ähnliche Spiele?

I played this game when it was free on PS+ a long time ago for the PSP and I fell in love with it. It's fun and addicting to play. It's great that they not only released this onto Steam/Vita but they gave it a make over and put more into the story and have a couple of new zombies added to the mix. A fun time is to be had with this game. I highly recommend it.

Stupid grind with too many random mechanics. Buy and play Infectionator 3 instead.

I can't recommend, It looks like it started as a good idea (a cheap copy of infectonator) That had some solid work put into it, But instead of giving it continued innovation it was 'good enough', left with so many good ideas not taken to completion.

-The task is obviously kill all the zombies on the screen, With your rifle only, no skills of any sort...
-Earning medals grants you cash to upgrades, like how powerful your bullets are and how many you decide to put in the magazine that morning. Oh and also the zombies.
-You have no control on what aspect of a certain zombie you upgrade, And i can forgive that, But the complete lack of upgrades was disappointing. Why not have an upgrade for larger bile pools, perhaps some projectile vomiting too. Some cash for runner and police zombies to target something.
-Once you 100% all the stages you can prestige which does as little as it possibly can for you. But the game play is so frustrating I couldn't do it without cheating, 9 hours for 1 prestige, an achievement for doing it 20 times. Hey sounds like a good idea, lets put it in the game... Now if that aspect was ever tested by the developer I don't think you would need to full clear every stage.

Take for example the fat zombies. They are just barely damaging enough to kill in area 1, and when you get to level 100 they are just a nuisance, It would be easier if they were not there to contribute their 'damage' at all. A decision for balancing? Cuz I'm quite sure if you had 'completed' the game, and then had some fun with it. Better for sure, probably would have recommended it.

Pretty good. I like the comic book intro. The rest is pretty simple but addicting. theres not enough variety for me, and getting combos is a little difficult. if the devs make a second one, id check it out for sure. good visuals and concept. only thing i would personally improve is the physics engine and new zombie types.

The PSP version is the best... This is 2nd. Great game. Mindless and random. I finished it twice here with many re-starts. If you loose a level, all good, take a deep breath, walk a way, come back, you will master it. It's very RANDOM. Great Laptop game. Everyone can beat it eventually...
