Have you ever wanted to know what a zombie apocalypse would be like? Well try Zombie Army Trilogy, A third person zombie apocalypse game which takes place in Nazi Germany during World War 2. The premise of the game is that, in an alternative version of World War II, Adolf Hitler deploys a last resort plan to awaken the dead as zombies through occult rituals, and turn them against Allied forces, which causes Germany to become overrun with the undead.

Zombie Army Trilogy utilizes similar mechanics to Sniper Elite V2 in that the player is encouraged to attack enemies from afar with their sniper rifle as opposed to attacking them head-on. However this game adopts a more linear level design, with a reduced focus on stealth in favour of an action-oriented approach. Again like V2, the player can utilise various types of explosives, including standard grenades, tripwire mines and dynamite. Another mechanic returning from V2 is that, when using the sniper rifle, certain elements such as wind direction and bullet drop can affect the path of the bullet when it is fired. Bullets can ricochet off surfaces or targets and strike others.

The player can also hold their breath to steady their shot and more precisely determine the direction their bullet will travel in. The “X-Ray Kill Cam” feature from V2 also makes a return, in which when a successful and skilled shot is made, the camera will track the bullet from the sniper rifle to the target in slow motion, and upon impact will show an anatomically correct x-ray style reveal of the body part being hit and the damage the bullet causes to the organs and bones. Some items can also trigger an explosion when shot, which can be use to the player’s advantage against the hordes of zombies. The game will also measure notable shots by briefly displaying distance and other factors like whether it was a headshot or moving target.

This game can tend to be difficult on your own, but the game has co-op features, which could be fun if you and your buddies just feel like saving Germany from being over ran by the undead army. This game is highly recommended if you really like zombie games. It is $60.00 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on Steam.
