There are too many zombie-shooting games out there to count, but how many are there that let you play from the zombies’ end? We can only think of Stubbs the Zombie on the original XBox, and…that’s about it. Is Horde: Zombie Outbreak in a class by itself?
The biggest problem is that zombies aren’t easy to control — done traditionally, they’re slow, lumbering, and flop their bodies in random positions. Madowl Games, the developers of Horde: Zombie Outbreak, solved this problem by letting you control an army of zombies at once. It’s like having your own army of man-eating Pikmin.
Game Modes

No time limits just pure destruction! Compete on the leader boards against your friends and the rest of the world for zombie horde glory! Choose your favourite zombie and the abilities that suit your style of play.
