What players say

Ash Williams Simulator with no babes to save. It's very repetitive but feels great. The inclusion of different melee moves is a welcome surprise as well! Fantastic game to shut off your brain and destroy bad guys in droves! Highly recommend! GROOVY

this game is so addictive and fun. don t be fooled by its age,despite being a fairly old game, though its very simplistic its very good at the same time. straightforward wave survival, very good graphics, funny accents in character lines . this is the game that ignited in me the completionist thingy, wanting to get as much as possible if not all steam achievments.until now steam achievments was not a thing for me at...

Not sure why my hours are low, played several hours years ago here on steam. Fun and challenging game, great with friends. Remake would be welcomed by many of us I think.
