World War Z: The Undead Shooter That Refuses to Die

While the World War Z movie may have been underwhelming, the video game adaptation is a worthy tribute to Max Brooks’ acclaimed novel. This cooperative shooter throws teams of up to four players into relentless battles against massive zombie hordes, delivering a thrilling and action-packed experience—far more enjoyable than the film. And with its current historic low price, it’s a steal for any fan of the undead.

The game thrives on large-scale chaos, as waves of relentless zombies chase you through various global locations, including Moscow, New York City, and Tokyo. Survival is the main objective, and players can choose from eight unique classes to strategize based on their team’s strengths and the challenges of each map.

Weapons and tools add another layer of depth, ranging from standard assault rifles to specialized gear like electrified shields for pushing through overwhelming crowds. As you progress, you can unlock upgrades for both classes and weapons, allowing for a more personalized playstyle.

For those seeking extra competition, World War Z also features PvPvE modes such as King of the Hill and Swarm Deathmatch, where rival teams add to the chaos. Campaign and multiplayer classes level up separately, so switching between modes can help balance your progression.

You can play the campaign solo with AI companions or as a full co-op experience with friends—though having real teammates is recommended for the best experience. The five-episode storyline includes some memorable set pieces, making it well worth a playthrough.

Right now, World War Z is available on Steam for just $9.89/£8.57 until February 10, its lowest price ever. The enhanced World War Z: Aftermath, which includes new locations and an additional mode, is also discounted at $19.99/£17.49.

Blending elements of DayZ’s survival gameplay with the fast-paced intensity of Left 4 Dead, World War Z offers a compelling middle ground for zombie game fans—and at this price, it’s an absolute bargain.
