Here you’ll fight through waves of endless zombies to see how long you can last. Then there’s the Slaughter Mode, which is the best way to work on your killing spree. These are all actions you won’t have experiences in Zombie Driver’s story mode, and completing all 36 events is an entertaining challenge. The first is Blood Race, which essentially runs you through the gauntlet of three unique event types in testing your racing, eliminator and endurance abilities. Outside of the campaign are two extra modes to keep you entertained. Thankfully, usually when you mess up – crashing into barriers, zooming headfirst into hordes and what have you – it’s usually down to your own influence and not that of the controls.īosses you come across are gloriously gruesome, often taking a lot of damage before they burst. Learning to handle all thirteen different vehicles is key to your success, and in my 8 or so hours of playing I can’t tell you just how important it is to master the art of the handbrake turn. And really, were it not for the fact that all your actions are performed from the seat of a weapon-equipped vehicle, there wouldn’t be much to separate Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition from, say, Housemarque’s Dead Nation. It boils down to 31 bite-sized missions that, while brief, feature a range of tasks like defending key targets, transporting randoms back to base and taking down bosses.

The original story mode remains intact, casting you as a taxi driver who is forced to help other survivors in need of a lift amidst the zombie outbreak.
Opting for ‘Immortal’ as a subtitle not only references Zombie Driver’s insistence on never going away, but also acts a smart way of suggesting just how much of your time its likely to suck up, thanks to the amount content on offer here.
Taxis, Limos or Lorries, – whatever your vehicle preference Zombie Driver doesn’t disappoint. Now available on Nintendo Switch as Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition, this petrol-fuelled indie hit has aged extremely well, delivering a healthy mix of speed, blood and apocalyptic destruction. To be fair, it did originally release in 2009 – a time when there wasn’t a constant assault of indies launching each week, Xbox Live Arcade doubled up as a great curator, and games didn’t have to work so hard to be seen. Other than sounding like a phrase that would work wonders for SEO, Zombie Driver is a game title on a level of blandness that really doesn’t do this anarchic, vehicular-based zombie kill-a-thon any justice.
