Games like Yet Another Zombie Defense

Steam reviews

What players say

Players find this free, simple zombie defense game fun in short sessions, especially with friends, though it feels shallow over time.

Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as a simple, free time-waster that reminds them of old flash and arcade games. Many players enjoy the day-night loop: spending money between waves on guns, ammo, barricades and turrets, then surviving ever larger zombie hordes at night. Co-op is the main draw, and several say the game is far more fun with friends and lonely when played solo. Some players complain that the item-buying menu gets in the way during fights, that walls and turrets break too easily, and that there is little beyond repeating the same content after several hours. Some recent reviews are more critical than the older helpful ones, mostly about an empty multiplayer and a thin late game. A few reviewers say the game does not run on Linux, and some negative reviews focus on technical problems rather than gameplay.

Who it suits

Suits players who want a free, quick arcade zombie defense game for short sessions, especially with friends.

Who should skip it

Players who want depth, a story or long-term progression, or who play alone and rely on an active player base should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more than 10 hours tend to find the game repetitive and raise the thin late game and the lack of content, while newcomers under 3 hours mostly praise its simplicity and fun.
