I didn’t have high hopes for this game when Rebellion first reached out to us about reviewing this game. I have to say I am thoroughly surprised by how much has changed between this game and the other installments.
The Zombie Army Trilogy retails for $45 USD on Steam and includes all the Zombie Army games and adds a new Horde mode. Some minor visual tweaks to the original two games are the only improvement noticed other than some possible netcode tweaks. The third installment in the series holds up better than the first two with its improved visuals and much more compelling campaign; it is actually fun to play this game by myself.
Horde mode is pretty well fleshed out although not all that different from your typical Zombie horde mode, if you’ve played one horde mode you have played them all. It is still fun to buckle in and hold out against the undead with some friends.
The bad news is you cannot buy the third copy of the game as a standalone release. You will be discounted for the trilogy if you own the other two titles, but only 50% off the total value. Although in retrospect $22.50 isn’t too bad considering you get the best title in the series and a new horde mode.
If you aren’t already tired of Zombie games and need a good game for your next Lan party I highly recommend you and a couple of friends pick up this title, although don’t expect to get a whole lot of replay value out of it solo.
Let me know what you thought of my review. If there is enough interest I will host a community playdate where our readers here will get an opportunity to play it with me.
Keep an eye out for my Battlefield: Hardline review coming soon.

I’ve played the previous 2, and apart from better lighting and an upgraded killcam, it’s the same bloody game.
so this thing has an actual campaign?
Nice review Matt!
Might grab it on Steam sales later on.
Hey Rebellion, we need another Judge Dredd game!
“The bad news is you cannot buy the third copy of the game as a standalone release.”
You buy the Trilogy standalone if you dont own any of the games, if you didnt had the first or the second game this pack has them all, if you had to buy all 3 games separately then it would cost more!
This is true, but if you already own the first and second games then you are essentially paying more to re-buy them.
more reviews, keep it up.
no scores?
I try to avoid giving games numbers because it is really hard to compare games that are totally unrelated so I go for a “Is it worth your money” approach.
Totally agree.
Shouldn’t it be HORDE mode not HOARD mode?
Yeap, fixed
Again, this is not really a review in a traditional sense. More like a (very) short opinion piece.
If you wanna call it a “review” then please put some effort in it.
Why don’t you spend more effort reading it and you would noticed his review is actually a video review and this is, as you said, a short write up if you don’t want to watch the video, you dimwit.
Thanks for the hint, kind sir.
lmao, I was a d*ck tbh, sorry lol
