Whiskey & Zombies: The Great Southern Zombie Escape

It's okay, has some nice secrets and things to do, but it's just too janky (poor controls, hit detection, QoL, etc) for me to enjoy playing.

The game is great, but using a gamepads is inconvenient: to start a mission with an X‑Box controller, you first have to select it on the keyboard and then switch back to the gamepads.

Recommended if you get it cheap. It is a dry and basic take of the zombie survival genre where the zombies are mere distractions you should try to ignore as much as possible. For some reason the first level has the difficulty Very High. The difficulty seems to mean that the level is big and the zombies respawn fast. I do not enjoy the mandatory drinking because it becomes an annoying time-limit mechanic and forces you to restock more bottles all the time. It seems like the developer at least put a lot of stuff and effort into the game. There seems to be briefing cutscenes for every level. While not exactly the most fun game due to the mechanics such as almost worthless melee weapons and ammo starvation, it is not a bad game. I suggest you try the demo before purchasing. The game starts to chug and lag once the game summons more zombies to go after you. Killing them is almost useless because the game will simply respawn them almost instantly. So the strategy is trying to get the zombies get stuck in some useless part of the map so that less of them spawn to go after you. Besides the graveyard level, you are not incentivized to kill zombies. You will run out of booze and ammo …

Whiskey & Zombies, developed and published by Nuttery Entertainment, is a distinctive entry in the zombie survival genre that blends humor, strategy, and action in a way that feels both fresh and entertaining. Set in the sweltering swamps of Louisiana, the game throws players into the chaotic role of the McCreary family—eccentric, perpetually drunk bootleggers whose unique brand of moonshine just might be humanity’s last hope against a zombie outbreak. The premise alone sets a lighthearted yet gripping tone, as the game’s narrative cleverly weaves together Southern charm, survival instincts, and absurdity, all while navigating the relentless hordes of the undead. Gameplay in Whiskey & Zombies revolves around a compelling balance between combat and stealth, framed by a top-down perspective that offers players a tactical overview of the environment. Players control various characters from the McCreary clan, each with distinct abilities and quirks that allow for different approaches to encounters. What truly sets this game apart is its innovative “drunk system,” which requires players to carefully manage their characters’ sobriety levels. Maintaining this balance is essential—if a ch…
