What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews83% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$2.60/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length5 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds5 of 426 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.59. That was October 2024. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 56 in the 8 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 43 percent on value. Among the games that feel like it, The Escapists ($17.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Party Hard 2 ($19.99, scores 38).

This site sampled 426 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 136 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 5 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 15, 3.0 times as much.

The drop-off

97% start to 18% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

A likable game, but there's some rough edges to fix. For example, the sound track is -very- short. The game also gets repetitive quickly

Old school retro incremental rogue lite. Skills help but not needed to enjoy it. Just kill, level up, and keep going. Try to destroy the world before they find a cure for the zombie plague you have unleash. Defeat area bosses and gain specialized unique elite zombie units. Definitely light hearted time killing fun that just happens to have a gore twist to it.
DrisanaRecommendedafter 16hJun 2026Read on Steam
Very repetitive with 2-3 hour long runs once you clear a continent you've experienced everything the game has to offer and yet they make you do it again and again not to mention the random difficulty spikes the ZIT specifically just checks if you've maxed out your common infected or bought enough landmines because they do so much damage
