Zombie Apocalypse is a dual-stick arcade shooter developed by nStigate Games and released in 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Players fight through 55 stages, each framed as a single day of survival against escalating zombie hordes. Points accumulate through several means: rescuing stranded civilians, exploiting environmental hazards to dispatch enemies, or cutting through crowds using an arsenal of ten weapons that includes machine guns, shotguns, flamethrowers, and chainsaws. The game supports cooperative play for up to four players, available both locally and online. The structure emphasizes score-chasing and survival across its wave-based progression, with the variety of weapons and kill methods providing incentive to experiment beyond straightforward combat. It occupies familiar territory within the arcade shooter genre while leaning on cooperative multiplayer as a central feature.
