OMG Zombies! releasing next week on Nintendo Switch
Ghostlight Games are primarily known for their localisations and/or ports of Japanese games (typically RPGs), such as Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force on Nintendo Switch. And their second game could not be any more different: it’s OMG! Zombies, an exploding zombies action game developed by their sister company Laughing Jackals, and originally released on PSP, then PlayStation Vita and PC.
OMG Zombies! comes out on March 26th in Europe and North America, and is already available for pre-order on the Nintendo eShop in Europe (North America should follow later today). The game costs 4.39€ / £3.99 / $4.99, but with a massive 75% off pre-purchase and early discount, allowing you to buy it for only 1.09€ / £0.99 / $1.24 before April 2nd.
Here’s a trailer:
Here’s some details about the game:
The City of Redfield has been hit by an outbreak of exploding zombies! For cool and unimportant reasons these suckers literally explode when shot, showering their zombie brethren with gore and causing chain reactions of showering zombie gibs with just a single bullet! As a lone cop armed only with bare wit, a large-calibre sniper rifle and bullets coated in a zombie-exploding pathogen, you are the last man standing at the epicentre of a zombie outbreak. Your mission? To succeed where the police and army failed by clearing the streets of 8 different strains of bloodthirsty zombies and stop Armageddon in its tracks!
Use your sharpshooting skills to vanquish 100 branching levels of zombie hell across 40 unique environments in this hugely addictive chain reaction shooter. Earn 400 shiny medals and cold hard cash to buy 100 different upgrades, all designed to MAKE THOSE ZOMBIES EXPLODE! So, make sure you take this chance to see what made this gore-fueled chain reaction shooter into the game you just can’t put down!
The Nintendo Switch version offers all the upgrades from the PSV and PC versions, but also some additional tweaks:
1) SNIPER SCOPE: A sniper scope view to zoom in on the action and make more precise shots – hold down the ZL button to make scoped shots.
2) TARGET HIGHLIGHT: On more crowded levels, it could sometimes be difficult to identify which zombie had been targeted so we’ve added a highlighter – the zombie that is currently targeted now has a glowing red outline.
3) TOUCH CONTROL: Touch control has been adjusted and features the new scoped view by default. We’ve also offset the scope to allow you to see what’s under your finger. Releasing your touch takes a shot. Release on empty space cancels your shot.
4) FAST FORWARD: This new feature reduces the waiting time for those last remaining zombies to align! Press and hold the Fast Forward icon to run at 2x speed. Double or triple press and hold to run at 4x or 8x speed.
5) RESTART: An instant restart is mapped to the [-] button. This is another nice quality of life feature to improve farming for better start positions or barrel locations.
6) MANUAL: We’ve added an in-game manual to the Options menu.
7) TUTORIALS: We’ve added ‘Restart Tutorials’ to the Options menu in case you missed reading one first time around.
8) PRESTIGE: We’ve reduced the maximum number of prestige levels to a far more reasonable 3, as 20 was *probably* a bit too high!
OMG Zombies! (Switch – eShop) comes out on March 26 in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
