There are some pickups you can obtain in some of the levels as well. So, instead of just using a single buff on only one zombie you get the benefit of a stampeding horde.Įach of the zombie mutations cost DNA which you replenish by either eating more humans, or sacrificing some of your zombie horde. For example, you could place an Overlord zombie to not only block zombies, but if you use a speed buff on it the other zombies that come in contact move faster.
One of the things that made the gameplay unique for Zombie Night Terror though was being able to use multiple mutations to stack effects.
The comparisons to Lemmings with Zombie Night Terror end with how you could get Lemmings to happily walk off cliffs and all you would have to do was give certain Lemmings jobs, like blocker, climber, and more. You’ve also got mutations that are buffs, like having a zombie jump or speed up which give temporary effects to each zombie you administer the serum to. This includes syringes that can alter the zombie itself, like the Overlord button, which is a zombie that acts like a wall so zombies can more quickly turn in the opposite direction. That’s the main goal, getting the zombies to the end of a level or kill enough humans in order to progress.Īlong with guiding your zombies, you have a series of mutations along the bottom UI of the screen. The zombies will keep walking until they hit a wall and then turn around, or run into a human and eat their brains. It’s a 2D side-scrolling game and the zombies have a very basic AI component where they shuffle about and bite any AI close enough. In Zombie Night Terror you don’t directly control the zombies, but rather you interact with the environment and change the abilities the zombies have. In the same vein, developer NoClip has brought their take on the Lemmings formula with Zombie Night Terror, which is now out on the Nintendo Switch. I can remember it featuring clever use of strategy in order to navigate your Lemmings to their safe destination. Lemmings is one of those titles that I can always go back to, archaic gameplay and all, and still enjoy.
