The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in August 2026. It has been discounted 40 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 85 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 21 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army ($14.99, scores 60) and Strange Brigade ($49.99, scores 39).
74 from critics against 86 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 22 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 60 percent of the 1,042 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 11.7 hours. Doing everything runs 54, 4.6 times as long.

What players say
Fantastic game, idiotic DLC structure. Whoever decided to nickel-and-dime absolutely everything in a hugely confusing shopping list needs to be fed to the zombies. This game is one of the best zombie shooters ever made and I bet the reason it's not as popular as it might have been is the DLC structure. Release a GOTY edition with everything instead of this stupid 95% discount plus a zillion microtransactions and it...
A good zombie shooter with gameplay and mechanics from the Sniper Elite series (they have the same developer). I haven't finished the game yet, so I don't know how many balls Mr. Zombie Hitler has here. In the Sniper Elite series, they usually show that detail in slow motion after you take the shot. At 95% off, the game is definitely worth picking up while the sale is still on.
Terrible range of weapons but great replay value. The abject lack of NPCs like in World War Z and Left 4 Dead makes it questionable for single player, but overall great value for money.
