The partnership of the two teams has proved to be an immensely fruitful one if this first game is anything to go by, but what exactly is it? After two years in development, Zombie Night Terror is published by Gambitious Digital Entertainment, whose name you’ll certainly have seen if you’ve ever spent time on the Steam store. The game’s indie developers at NoClip met while working for a mobile gaming company and, when they were made redundant, came up with the idea for a lemmings-style game that had players controlling hordes of zombies as their army. Zombie Night Terror provided me with some of the most rewardingly fun experiences of any game this year, showing proof that there’s more than enough life in this ageing genre yet. On the other, however, I found myself grinning gleefully each time a group of my zombified minions overwhelmed a trapped human and added another unwilling convert to our ranks. On the one hand my role as real-life human told me I should be rooting for the panicky, screaming and occasionally gun-toting folks in their quest to escape and survive the hordes. After years and years of using video games as a medium with which I could prepare myself for an actual zombie apocalypse, Zombie Night Terror provided me with something of a conundrum.
