Yet Another Zombie Defense HD, a twin-stick shooter with a focus on building defenses during the day and fending off hordes of zombies at night, is currently available for free on Steam. The promotion is in place to celebrate the upcoming launch of Yet Another Zombie Survivors, a bullet heaven game from the same developers.
The gameplay loop of Yet Another Zombie Defense HD involves players shooting zombies during nighttime cycles and constructing barricades and turrets during the day. The game features both local and online multiplayer, a variety of unlockable weapons and traps, and multiple game modes. Despite its 2017 release, the game retains the aesthetic of indie titles from an earlier era.
Players can also access the Steam Workshop for Yet Another Zombie Defense HD to download cosmetic skins for their survivors. These skins allow for customization, with options to make characters resemble figures like Hatsune Miku, Garfield, Deadpool, and Shrek.
Yet Another Zombie Survivors, the game being promoted by this free offer, is currently in early access. It shares the same aesthetic as its predecessor but shifts to a bullet heaven format. The game features escalating hordes of enemies culminating in boss encounters with large monsters. Its full release, version 1.0, is scheduled for August 20.
This offer for Yet Another Zombie Defense HD is available until July 30.
