The Zombie Slayers

ActionAdventureCasualIndie

Developer Rashad Ibrahimli

The Zombie Slayers is a wild top-down shooter where you battle zombies, make babies and show off your dance moves, while dressed in (sometimes) ridiculous costumes. Team up with friends, adopt pets, and survive waves of undead chaos. It's crazy, colorful, and just the right amount of hilarity! From the Steam store page

    This feels like "babies first game" a lot of bugs and issues. The "finale" segment in the first missions goes on for waay too long and the second half of the second missions stopped spawning enemies so we just awkwardly completed the last two objectives and left. I also was able to shoot and kill myself in the tutorial by aiming my crosshair over my character and walking and shooting juuuust right, which if that is …

    It doesn't work very well on the steamdeck. You can only navigate the menus by touch and even then some things like drop downs don't seem to work (can't change camera type). While playing the controls don't work well either. The player's direction per the second stick doesn't change until you actually shoot and then your speed changes. I found it frustrating to play.

    The game is really interesting and has a great atmosphere! The overall gameplay style is very engaging — you can feel that the developers put a lot of heart into it. I especially liked the character design and how smooth the controls feel — everything seems well thought out and comfortable to play. There are some minor issues, like a small delay when starting the game, but that’s nothing serious and can easily be …

    Highly Entertaining Chaos! 🧟‍♂️💥 Just wrapped up my first hour with The Zombie Slayers and I'm genuinely impressed! This game delivers exactly what it promises - pure, unadulterated zombie-blasting fun with a delightful twist of humor. What I Love: Instant Action: Jumped right into the chaos without a steep learning curve. The top-down shooter mechanics feel tight and responsive. Character Customization: The …

    This game is stupid fun with friends. Even better watching them fail at Not Balanced puzzle for 20 minutes lol.

    The Zombie Slayers is a top-down action shooter developed by Rashad Ibrahimli and published by indie.io that approaches the zombie genre from a deliberately unserious and chaotic angle. Instead of focusing on grim survival horror or bleak post-apocalyptic storytelling, the game embraces exaggerated humor, fast arcade-style combat, and a constant stream of absurd ideas. From the moment you start mowing down the undead, it becomes clear that the game’s primary goal is to deliver energetic,…

    Zombie waves are kinda slow, and you level up pretty fast in the game. no ammo worries, so you don’t even check your bullet count. maybe a plus. play on hard mode and with your friends (otherwise, it might get boring). at low XP, all the weapons feel the same, and the game makes you work for different guns. unless you get lucky and find them somewhere on the map. so yeah, there’s weapon variety, but at the start most of them feel similar (just different sounds and speeds). customization is…

    So I like the game its basically a tower defense game with zombies. The problem is the bugs falling through the map and getting stuck in weird places and lag at higher levels or co-op. Me and the wife got another #1 highscores but i dont see us playing again unless a major update.

    So full of bugs, and glitchiness I couldn't even recommend this as a free game. Dev needs to put alot more effort into it before this would even be worth 4 dollars.
