All Zombies Must Die! vs Dead Nation

All Zombies Must Die! drops you into Deadhill town, a chaotic arena teeming with undead. Choose from four distinct characters—Jack, Rachel, Brian, and Luxo—and wield shotguns, swords, chainsaws, and more to survive wave after wave of zombies. The game expands the classic twin‑stick formula with RPG elements: level up, complete side quests, and craft new weapons while leveraging environmental modifiers like fire, radiation, sonic and shock to turn the tide against the relentless hordes.

Dead Nation is a thrilling top-down shoot 'em up video game developed by Housemarque, set in a fictional world ravaged by a devastating zombie apocalypse. Players battle across ten intense levels as either a male or female survivor, facing hordes of the undead while gathering crucial supplies and upgrading their arsenal. Throughout the campaign, players must manage resources, scavenge cars for money, and secure weapon upgrades at checkpoints. The gameplay emphasizes survival and combat mastery, rewarding skilled zombie slaughters with score multipliers while punishing player mistakes with lost health and multipliers.
