It looks as if All Zombies Must Die! will be infecting the X-Box Live Arcade in the near future for your enjoyment! It’s a new top down, twin stick shooter that Square Enix will be publishing. It was originally planned for just PSN and Steam but oh how the times have changed. It looks like at least graphically it will be a blast and if Square Enix is behind it that won’t be the only enjoyable part!
The game will allow up to four players in co-op mode which looks to be a blast and you’ve got 4 characters to choose from so you won’t be stuck with the same ones on screen in just different colors.
Who can you play as?
Jack – The Gamer. Like you and me, Jack LOVES games! Every possible waking moment is spent in his comfy chair in front of his setup at home destroying cities, saving civilians and, more importantly, killing stuff (mainly zombies, but anything goes in games). Jack has awoken to a dream he has wished for for as long as he can remember… a Zombie Apocalypse. Grabbing his trusty shotgun he leaves the house immediately for some gratuitous fun… Jack is pretty sure that this can’t possibly be reality, but is enjoying it so much he doesn’t care…
Rachel – The Girl. Rachel is a bit high maintenance… ok maybe a LOT… She’s Jack’s ex and she despises him with a passion fueled by years spent as Jack’s second favourite pastime. She HATES games almost as much as she despises Jack and just wants this whole thing to end. NOW!
Brian – The Geek. Brian is your average mummy’s boy turned social-outcast genius. This zombie apocalypse is the most interesting research project he’s found yet… since the trying to make a girlfriend project didn’t work out that is. Unlike the others, he has a vested interest in what’s going on, but it’s not always clear why…
Luxo – The Alien. Luxo has spent the last few years living “under the radar†on Earth, getting by with minor parts in B-movies playing… you guessed it… Aliens! As you can see, he is a master of the art of disguise. Luxo can’t really speak English, so initially he needs Brian to help translate for him. There is a slight problem in this as a) Luxo doesn’t entirely trust Brian (he may have had something to do with his spaceship crashing on Earth) and b) he likes to use profanities, which Brian censors out.
