Dead Plague: Zombie Survival vs Highrisers
Dead Plague: Zombie Survival
Dead Plague: Zombie Survival is a free-to-play, twin-stick shooter that is set in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies roam in great numbers. Although the game does feature a fun co-op (up to 4 players) endless mode, it's interesting to note that there is also a single-player, story-driven campaign where you can learn more about the events that had led up to the decimation of the human race. Of course, there are also an arsenal of weapons (they have durability and can be damaged) for you to choose from, varied zombies to fight as well as challenging bosses to defeat.Despite some of its more apparent flaws, Dead Plague: Zombie Survival is a pretty decent twin-stick shooter that has a well-optimized co-op gameplay.

Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
