Games Like Knights v Zombies

About Knights v Zombies

The dead are walking, the kingdom is on fire, the king is terrified, and your only hope lies with the ancient remains of a giant robot that was scattered across the kingdom ages ago.

Knights v Zombies is a 1-4 player local couch co-op hack and slash adventure with the structural integrity of a six-year-old's daydream and the production values of a software engineer who's addicted to Humble Bundles.

Six levels. Six wildly different vibes.

•

The Castle - Zombies in the throne room. Smash the furniture on the way out; the king's insurance will cover it.

•

The Village - The houses are burning. The villagers have fled. The helicopters are looking for a safe place to land. Wait, what?

•

The Forest - Grass warriors and spiders and rock monsters, oh my!

•

The High Seas - Because I wanted to make a game about pirates and Rare wouldn't give me a job.

•

The Mountain Caves - You ride giant ants here. Don't worry about it.

•

The Undead Kingdom - A massive fortress that could only be penetrated by a fifty-foot robot. Oh, you have one now? How convenient!

If you're still here after the giant ants, you might be the target audience. Here's the rest:

Features

•

1-4 player local couch co-op

•

~45 minutes of escalating chaos, start to credits

•

Hack and Slash combat that gets increasingly anachronistic...

•

Built in Unreal Engine 5 by a 6 year old boy (now 7, or probably 8 by the time I actually finish this), plus his dad who "just puts it in the computer."

•

Plug in up to four controllers. Keyboard works too, but a mouse is awkward on the couch...

This game is not: an open-world RPG, a roguelike, a soulslike, competitive, online, or the kind of game you'll be playing for 80 hours. It's a small silly thing you play on a couch with people you like.

If you have a couple controllers and a kid, a friend, or a cat with opposable thumbs, then give it a try! Net proceeds go to the creative director's college fund and my Humble Bundle addiction.
