A new game called Yet Another Zombie Survivors launched on Steam on August 20 and quickly received over 90% positive reviews from players. In terms of gameplay, Yet Another Zombie Survivors has a lot in common with Vampire Survivors, though it features distinct 3D visuals and plenty of unique gimmicks that fans of zombie survival games one Steam will appreciate.
Yet Another Zombie Survivors is developed by Awesome Games Studio, which released a similar title back in 2017 called Yet Another Zombie Defense HD. As the title suggests, that game leaned into the tower-defense genre, dividing the gameplay into two segments: building a tower and defending it against zombies. The studio's latest release, however, is more of a roguelite and bullet-heaven-style game.
Awesome Games Studio launched the 1.0 version of Yet Another Zombie Survivors on August 20, and it has received over 91% positive reviews from players. The game has been among Steam's early-access indie games since 2023 and has maintained a high user rating for most of its lifespan. Apparently, many players are also returning to the game following the 1.0 patch, with SteamDB data suggesting that Yet Another Zombie Survivors reached a new concurrent player record. On August 23, nearly 10,000 users were playing it at the same time, which is impressive for a single-player title.
Part of Yet Another Zombie Survivors' appeal lies in its addictive gameplay loop. Similar to most games inspired by Vampire Survivors, YAZS allows players to craft game-breaking builds. That said, it adds its own spin to the tried-and-true Survivors-like formula by introducing squad members. In the middle of each battle, players can recruit up to two more characters, creating a three-person squad. Each character comes with unique abilities and opportunities to create synergies with other members.
Another selling point for Awesome Games Studio's zombie roguelite is its boss fights. In each stage, larger mutated enemies with unique attack patterns ambush the player, forcing them to constantly move and dodge. There are also various environmental gimmicks, such as random shrinking dead zones that force players to adapt and change their strategy on the go. That said, fans of the genre will find many familiar gameplay features in Yet Another Zombie Survivors, such as treasure chests, weapon evolutions, and XP-boosting gems that drop after killing enemies.
Players looking to grab Yet Another Zombie Survivors might want to act fast because the game is currently discounted by 35% until September 3, bringing the price down to about $10 USD from the usual $15. Developer Awesome Games Studio has used the opportunity to bring so many new features and improvements to the game with the 1.0 patch. For instance, players can expect to see a new stage called Bio Lab, as well as a new character in the Ranger class. Those interested can see the full list of changes in Yet Another Zombie Survivors' 1.0 version over on the game's Steam page.
Awesome Games Studio's other similar game, Yet Another Zombie Defense HD, is also heavily discounted on Steam for a limited time. Until September 3, players can grab the game for less than $1 USD, making it an excellent deal for fans of zombie-horde-shooting games.
