Zombi was developed by Straight Right and released in 2015. It was originally created for Wii U and was titled ZombiU.
A zombie game, because there aren't enough of those already. Zombi is a first person action game, except it's very boring. It's so clunky, poor graphics, unimaginative plot and a lot more.
You die and that's it, well kind of. You spend the game being guided by an unseen character, he helps you survive and tells you what you need to do and eventually escape the zombie outbreak. You can scavenge a bunch of items from guns, bullets, melee weapons and health items. Your stock is limited, but if you die, say goodbye. Each time you die, you're switched to play as another survivor. You have to find the previous survivors supplies, but if you die before you get them, they're gone forever. The guide talks to you like you're the same person though, even if you've died twenty times and controlled twenty different survivors, it's dumb.
The gameplay is incredibly clunky, I only ever had a cricket bat for a melee weapon. I did the same weapon swinging animation over and over and over to kill zombies over and over and over. It was boring. Finding guns was a bit more entertaining as it was a bit more lively than swinging a bat eight time to just kill one zombie. You don't get around much, you're constantly running back and forth through the same locations and the lighting is awful. Everything is too dark and the poor map and HUD are useless.
The scanner is terrible to use, it's used to locate scavenging areas, as well as zombies, but it just felt like a chore to use, so I usually avoided it. There were upgrades but the combat never improved, there were a decent selection of guns to use though. Your character never speaks which I understand, but your guide never shuts up, it seems so unbelievable the way their conversations happen.
There isn't much to say other than this is one of the worst games I've played. There are way too many zombie games and this does nothing to make you think you should play it over hundreds of better ones. Just avoid this mess.
4.9/10
