ZOMBOTRON 4 FULL

There are a number of games like this on Steam, from Intrusion 2 to Capsized and more, and for the first hour or so I wasn’t seeing much difference between Zombotron and them. There are a lot of strange creatures and constructs in his way, but plenty of guns, ammo, and explosives to carry him along as well. The planet is the site of an ancient crash site and more, and our boy Blaze will need to unravel its mysteries if he’s going to find his way back off-world. Mister Rush finds himself on a strange planet after responding to a distress beacon, and almost immediately beset by slavering beasts when he goes looking for said beacon. Seriously, I don’t have the capacity to make up names like that. I implore you to trust me when I say your character is a square-jawed space mercenary named Blaze Rush.

This version definitely shows some growth from its Flash roots in graphics and progression, but still bears some weaknesses from that style of design.

Zombotron was apparently one of the big names in that crowd, and now it’s back in all its flashy, messy glory as a full release on Steam. You know the kind, featuring mouse aiming and keyboard movement of characters with independently-animated limbs and torsos that ragdoll wildly in the oddly floaty physics simulation. Some of the most memorable games to spring from the medium was a chaotic sort of platform shooter. Say what you will about Flash, but no one can deny the awesome platform it has provided indie developers for decades (yes, decades).
