The Governor from The Walking Dead found sick pleasure in watching some of his own people perform in fights against zombies in his own town of Woodbury. Pit in a gladiator-type arena, people would put their lives on the line to give the other residents some form of entertainment. #killallzombies is a little like that.
Civilians are thrust into an arena to fight off waves upon waves of the undead, all for the love of sports entertainment.It’s a different take on the zombie genre than we’re used to seeing (currently, at least) and looks to make things more fresh by actually making the arena more than just grounds to paint with blood and zombie limbs. Comprised of hexagon tiles, the arena itself will morph to largely alter the game. The hexagons can become traps, blockades, or other obstructions that could make things even harder for your survival. But it doesn’t end there.
The hash tag in front of the game’s name is actually there for a gameplay related reason, too. The game will have a strong focus on social interaction, and this translates to stream viewers being able to join in on the fun and affect the game itself. Through voting and the chat feature, spectators will be able to affect the game in three ways:
- Every 80 seconds, viewers have a choice of two encounter options available to vote on, including encounter spawns, various arena events, timed bonuses, and perks.
- The perk select screen has its own voting mechanic in which if the player decides to wait and select the spectator’s most voted perk, the player will be offered additional XP and Health.
- The chat commands are available throughout the broadcast as we are executing chat commands in real time, allowing the spectators to affect on a variety of imperative decisions that can significantly increase or decrease your chance of survival — such as increasing or decreasing your character’s speed or health, spawning more or less enemies, etc.
#killallzombies will make its debut on PlayStation 4. You can find out more about the game and check it out in action in the trailer below!
