World War Z

World War Z is a multiplayer cooperative shooter. The project developer is the American company Saber Interactive. The game was released in 2019 directly on personal computers and game consoles, including the Nintendo Switch.

Graphics

World War Z has a very beautiful picture. The image is realistic, the game level design is wonderful. Due to the fact that the game takes place in different regions, you can plunge into the atmosphere of all weather conditions and seasons.

We mostly look at the heroes from behind, but the outfits are very detailed, and this is already pleasing. Particular attention should be paid to the study of zombies. Living corpses look truly frightening because of their realism. The shooting animation is especially effective. If a hero blows off a zombie's head from a shotgun or rifle, it actually shatters into pieces, and blood sprays around.

World War Z plot

Its storyline World War Z is completely built on the novel by Max Brooks "War of the Worlds Z", as well as on its film adaptation. The story is rather hackneyed - there is a certain virus that infects more and more people in the United States. Mysterious attacks on people begin. Of course, all this will result in a zombie apocalypse.

The history of the game covers several regions at once: New York, Tokyo, Jerusalem and Moscow. Local flavor is present, albeit in a zombie entourage. The story unfolds consistently and fully.

Gameplay

World War Z is designed for cooperative passage in a group of four. The entire gameplay takes place from a third person, which simplifies control, but to some extent reduces the level of immersion. The player has to fight for survival in a world plunged into a zombie apocalypse. The local living dead are very agile and smart, despite their deplorable state, so it will not work to shoot from afar.

There are 6 character classes in total: Shooter, Executioner, Liquidator, Medic and Technician. They all have unique skills and abilities. Characters can be pumped. This is done using in-game currency, which is paid for successful missions. Also, these funds are spent on the purchase of modifications for weapons, so it is worthwhile to properly allocate resources.

In addition to the story mode, the player can also test their skills in the fight against other users. However, even on such maps, zombies are still present: somewhere more, somewhere less. You have to fight both players and artificial intelligence.

Zombies in World War Z

The main task of the player in World War Z is to fight zombies. And the living dead are very well worked out here. They are constantly on the move, very realistic and frightening.

There are many types of zombies in the game: Ram, Catcher, Screamer, Bombist, Toxic, Infection and others. Each living dead has its own unique skills. For example, the Trapper can ambush players, and the Screamer can lure hordes of other zombies with his screams.

Artificial intelligence learns while playing. He remembers the player's maneuvers and tries in every possible way to prevent them. You will not be able to complete the entire game with one tactic; you will have to constantly invent something new.

Zombies in this world are not just mindless bodies. Their main danger lies in the fact that they can quite consciously interact with each other. For example, one zombie can hoist another so that he can climb up. Also, these creatures are able to create huge living pyramids to overcome large obstacles.

Game Chips

World War Z has a fairly simple storyline, interesting gameplay and a lot of interesting features:

• Characters are memorable and have different backgrounds. The player is given not just an empty dummy, but a personality, so it is interesting to watch him.
• In some places, the game is actually scary. Zombies crawling on walls or working in a team look especially creepy. You don't expect such agility from the living dead.
• RPG elements really bring the game to life. In addition to the fact that players can be pumped, and weapons can be modified, the characters have interesting dialogues during the game that add atmosphere.
• The game is not built on simple point-to-point transitions with killing mobs. Here you will have to unlock locks, build traps, guard NPCs and monitor the world around. The latter is probably the most important because zombie attacks are highly non-linear and very dangerous.
• Zombies take not only quality, but also quantity. There are a lot of them, and it becomes more difficult to fight them with every hour of the game. Enemies will arrive all the time, but you won't be able to hide from them anywhere.

If you are a fan of the movie or book that the plot is based on, then you will definitely love World War Z! The game tells the story from a different angle. Heroes no longer run from zombies, they fight with them bravely and selflessly. It will definitely not be boring!
