Dustoff Z

Dustoff Z is a side-scrolling helicopter action game that leans heavily into arcade sensibilities, blending classic shoot-’em-up structure with a light survival theme set during a zombie apocalypse. Developed by Invictus Games Ltd. and published by Zordix Publishing alongside Green Man Gaming Publishing, the game immediately establishes itself as a fast, accessible experience built around momentum, mission variety, and constant pressure. Rather than striving for realism or simulation depth, it focuses on delivering quick, repeatable missions where piloting skill, resource management, and firepower all collide in hectic airborne combat. The core gameplay loop revolves around piloting combat helicopters across horizontally scrolling levels while completing a wide range of objectives. These tasks include rescuing stranded survivors, escorting convoys, defending fixed positions, transporting cargo, and eliminating massive zombie hordes or mutated boss creatures. Each mission forces players to juggle multiple concerns at once: staying airborne, avoiding environmental hazards, managing fuel consumption, and keeping an eye on ammunition and hull integrity. The helicopter controls are int…

Lack (Expected before playing): 1.Different combination of heli parts 2.Customizable heli loadouts 3.More different heli stat (maneuverability, dropping speed, climbing speed, etc.) 4.Skills for pilots (Dodge, Emergent Repairing, Fuel Seeker, etc) Go make Dustoff Z 2 with my suggestion...now!

Thoroughly enjoy the game (shout out to the boyfriend for letting me use his computer) and gives you the added element of not just surviving and rescuing people, but also ensuring that your helicopter doesn't run out of fuel in the process. My only real gripe with the game is that you can not change keybindings. I unfortunately have a laptop with no right CTRL button, and using the left CTRL button does absolutely nothing to help. Why is this button so important? Because it is the button you use to shoot at zombies - which WILL prevent you progressing as on the mission where you rescue Bill, you have to eliminate the nearby zombies before you can save him. If the Devs can add a feature where you can change keybindings, that'd be great!

Its well worth the $5-$6, 4 hours of game play an its over way to fast. Simple brain dead fun.

Nice little snack-size blast-em-up to enjoy between bigger gaming jaunts. I'm surprised this has so few reviews on steam as it's perfectly functional and cheap game to pick up and gun through on a lazy weekend afternoon. Ignore the time played, I probably took about 4 hours to complete this fully. The basic premise is you fly a helicopter about on a 2.5D plain after a zombie apocalypse has occurred, strafing zombies down below, all the while performing convoy escorts, base defense, cargo delivery, and survivor rescues. You upgrade the helicopter and onboard gunners with coins and parts/supplies that you collect/earn for completing missions. There is quite a variety of zombie types arrayed against you with plenty of damage they can bring to bear on you (and even the unarmed walkers have a serious jump you need to dodge or you'll be pulled out of control into a horde). You have to manage your fuel, health and ammo meters throughout each mission which you top up from collectibles that spring from killing zombies or landing or recharge helipads, which also double as in-mission save spots. The game does make some mistakes - one is making the bonus level dependent on killing spec…

You get Dustoff Z, an air combat, zombie shooting frag fest that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat. Despite the cartoonish visuals, the game is riddled with fun especially if you’re feeling destructive but morally uptight about any form of senseless killing. Dustoff Z will satisfy that itch to land a few blows for the good of humanity while causing a crazy amount of destruction to the undead. [h1][b]ZOMBIE STRIKE[/b][/h1] Right from the start, you’ll get to pilot a makeshift chopper assembled from what seems to be parts lying around a junkyard and point it left, right, or straight ahead over various terrain and scenarios. Each level has a distinct objective ranging from escort missions to rescuing citizens trapped between salvation and the undead. The post-zombie apocalypse storyline unfolds nicely as you fire at identified targets and some unexpected jumping …
