PC Game Review: Atom Zombie Smasher

Atom Zombie Smasher is another game for those people who love blowing Zombie’s into bits and pieces. The game is plain weird, that’s because it has been created by none other than Blendo Games, who are now known to out the weirdest possible ideas. Fortunately enough, weird it might be, but Blendo Games really know how to put the fun in their ideas and Atom Zombie Smasher is no exception. You are tasked with saving the population from the living dead, and your weaponry includes bombs and guns. To find out more, read our review.

To start my review, I will talk about the design and features of the game.

Atom Zombie Smasher boasts a very unique and simplistic design. You won’t see actual zombies or citizens in this game; instead you are presented with a table top view of the infested city, with purple squares representing the zombies and yellow squares representing the people running for their life. The yellow and purple squares run around the city and your task is to place weaponry at key points in order to stop the zombies. The game at first sounds amazingly simple, but as soon as you start progressing, the zombies start becoming clever, and one mistake can cause you to lose your objective.

Moving further down the review, the mission begins in daylight, and you must save all the survivors before the night arrives. Once it’s dark, it’s nearly impossible to stop the zombies and you will most likely fail if that happens. The concept becomes even more interesting when you find out that zombies can turn your people against you, so if a purple square comes in contact with a group of yellow squares, all those people will convert to purple squares. Blendo has included a number of weapons in your disposal that you will unlock and use throughout the game.

To finish off my review, Blendo Games has once again succeeded in making a weird but fun game, if you love to play and try something unique; Atom Zombie Smasher offers enough fun and uniqueness that will quench your thirst.
