Review of ‘Zombie Army VR’: A Mostly Successful Take on Arcade Zombie-Slaying

Zombie Army VR, huh? So, it’s back, this time in the neon-lit eerie VR universe. Blasting Nazi zombies – yeah, that old party trick – but now you can almost smell the undead stench. They’ve tossed it on all the major VR headsets, hoping it feels fresh. Spoiler: it kinda trips over its own shoelaces trying to leap off the flatscreen and into your face.

### Some Stats You Might Want

Rebellion Games puts it out there. June 2025. Plastered on all the VR hotspots. Costs you – what, thirty bucks?

### What’s the Deal?

You’re in some elite squad called ‘Deadhunter’. Fancy, right? Running around trying to rid the world of zombies and, oh yeah, help this Hermann Wolff dude find his missing daughter in post-apocalyptic Nuremberg. But don’t expect a deep, soul-searching storyline. This one’s all about splattering zombie brains. Bingo.

Skip those loading screen chatter bits if you want. It’s the pew-pew that counts. And the game knows it. Play and replay, repeat. Maybe grab a buddy for the co-op mode, if you’ve got one on standby with a tricked-out machine gun.

### The Gun Show

Zombies? Check. WWII weapons? Oh, absolutely. Grab whatever you can. Shooting those pesky undead with submachine guns, scoped rifles – the works. For the occasional thrill, there’s this monstrous machine gun but don’t get too comfy, it’s got just 100 shots. Plus, grenades and whatnot. Blow up hordes as they shuffle into your trap. Good ol’ funnel-and-boom strategy.

The game throws you a bone with ‘easy mode’ grenade tossing. Just pull a trigger. Immersive? Meh… A nod to its non-VR roots, I’d say.

As for upgrades, there’s this whole deal with workbenches, scattered throughout missions. Extend those mags, boost stability, whatever floats your boat. But I was left wishing for more spice, like glow-in-the-dark sights or something.

### Blasting Zombies to XP Heaven

And it’s not just about surviving. Rack up XP, make your way through ranks by downing zombies in style. Got a knack for precision and speed? You’ll do well. Those levels slide by in 20-minute chunks.

### Wait, There’s More…

Melee weapons, yeah, they’re here just to add a little flair. Can’t holster them though, so they’re more of a last-minute sort of deal. Or for when you’re really feeling the need to bash a skull in with a wrench.

As for that sniper rifle? Less zoomy chore, more ignoring the scope and guessing shots by feel. Not that you’ll need to snipe much because levels just aren’t built for it.

### Zombies with Personality

OK, zombies steal the show. A variety of them, with their moans and lunges and—honestly—the sound of them just sticks with you. Though they sometimes fumble through each other, their design holds a certain charm. But alas, no mega-hordes to brag about. The game throws smaller, tougher groups instead, keeping it tense.

### Immersiveness vs. Chaos

Manually reloading, at first, felt cool. Until hordes grew thicker than my patience. I had to switch to auto-reloading – yeah, shameful, but necessary. The game’s fast-paced action just doesn’t jive with a drawn-out reload routine, no matter how much you want it to.

Naturally, there’s fog and decay and detailed items that bring the post-apocalyptic World War setting to life. Pretty impressive, honestly. The objects? A bit meh, as you force-grab more than naturally.

### Moving Around

So, about comfort, it’s all standard VR stuff. You got your snap turns, smooth moves, and those abrupt kill-cam jumps that can either be a thrill or a quick motion-sickness generator. Just a heads-up.

So, there you have it. That’s Zombie Army VR. Tidbits and all. It’s a ride that promises zombie-killing joy, with a few stumbles along the way. Whether it holds up is a mixed bag – maybe for some, it’s the thrill of the chase, for others, well… just another rusted bullet count.
