OMG Zombies!
OMG! Alert! Alert! 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!
OMG Zombies is an awesome reimagining of a genuine classic: the critically acclaimed OMG-Z, a top-ten all-time Metacritic rated PSP game and ranked as Metacritic’s best action title ever released on PSP! The guys at Push Square gave it 89% and called it “a must buy” game, Escape Rope claimed it’s “…one of the best zombie games in recent memory” and Defunct Games gave it an A rating saying it’s “so addictive… I still can’t get enough of watching the explosive chain reaction caused from a well-placed bullet.”
Now the new and improved OMG Zombies features completely redrawn HD graphics, more gore, more levels, more upgrades and all-new content including 12 trophies, 100+ leaderboards, a 20-stage ‘Prestige’ system and 5 beautifully illustrated endings.

Setting up your shot and watching all the carnage you can set off with just one projectile is good solid fun.

OMG, This sh!t really dug its hooks into me. By far one of the most addictive game I’ve played in recent years. Granted, I haven’t been able to game as much in recent years. But it is nice that a simple title like this one can still make me appreciate a game with a solid concept at its core.
Obviously it’s far from perfect. While I enjoyed the art style for the different locations, they are a bit static and lifeless. Then again,, too much extraneous movement onscreen could be misleading in a game like this. I wish there was a happier medium. Sound design was solid - nothing overwhelming but it does its job well enough.
Now for the biggest gripe. Some levels require more patience than most gamers will permit, especially some of the later levels where zombies are less abundant or more spread out from each other. This makes starting chains a pain. And,, due to your limited number of bullets, you may have to sit there and wait while the zombies aimlessly amble around the screen and get close enough to each other so you can finally take them out. These instances get old and can definitely lead to rage quitting.
There’s also the grinding for upgrades, which are necessary to unlock the later levels. But this was actually handled pretty well - it’s not hard grinding and I was enjoying unlocking them for the most part. My one issue was how the levels are opened - it’s very strange and outright confusing at first. You figure it out eventually but it is initially kinda bizarre.
For the most part though, these devs got it right with this one. When you get that right shot and watch the bloody chain of events unfurl… it’s a f@cking awesome sight to behold. Would love to see a sequel that expands on all the cool things this title has to offer. In the meantime though, this goes on sale frequently…
