The Zombie Slayers

The Zombie Slayers is a top-down action shooter developed by Rashad Ibrahimli and published by indie.io that approaches the zombie genre from a deliberately unserious and chaotic angle. Instead of focusing on grim survival horror or bleak post-apocalyptic storytelling, the game embraces exaggerated humor, fast arcade-style combat, and a constant stream of absurd ideas. From the moment you start mowing down the undead, it becomes clear that the game’s primary goal is to deliver energetic, cooperative fun rather than tension or realism. At its core, the gameplay revolves around surviving increasingly intense waves of zombies in compact, top-down arenas. Movement is fast and responsive, encouraging players to stay mobile as hordes close in from every direction. Shooting feels immediate and satisfying, with a wide selection of weapons available that range from standard firearms to more destructive and flamboyant tools. Explosions, fire, and screen-filling chaos are frequent, giving combat a frantic rhythm that rewards aggressive play and quick reactions rather than careful positioning or resource conservation. Progression is built around earning experience by killing zombies, which u…

This game is stupid fun with friends. Even better watching them fail at Not Balanced puzzle for 20 minutes lol.

So I like the game its basically a tower defense game with zombies. The problem is the bugs falling through the map and getting stuck in weird places and lag at higher levels or co-op. Me and the wife got another #1 highscores but i dont see us playing again unless a major update.

This feels like "babies first game" a lot of bugs and issues. The "finale" segment in the first missions goes on for waay too long and the second half of the second missions stopped spawning enemies so we just awkwardly completed the last two objectives and left. I also was able to shoot and kill myself in the tutorial by aiming my crosshair over my character and walking and shooting juuuust right, which if that is intentional is HORRIBLE game design but most likely a bug. The gameplay itself is nothing spectacular as well, I think the zombies are a little too fast and shield zombies suck a sack. You can find better top down games on steam.

It doesn't work very well on the steamdeck. You can only navigate the menus by touch and even then some things like drop downs don't seem to work (can't change camera type). While playing the controls don't work well either. The player's direction per the second stick doesn't change until you actually shoot and then your speed changes. I found it frustrating to play.

So full of bugs, and glitchiness I couldn't even recommend this as a free game. Dev needs to put alot more effort into it before this would even be worth 4 dollars.
