All Zombies Must Die! is a top-down shooter action-adventure video game for up to four players. The game was released as a downloadable title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles and Microsoft Windows. It is the spiritual successor to Burn Zombie Burn.

Gameplay

Players choose one of four characters; Jack, his ex-girlfriend Rachel, the Rastafarian alien Luxo or the scientist Bryan. Each of the characters has a different secondary attack in addition to their equipped weapon. The game is set in the fictional town of Deadhill, where a zombie apocalypse has occurred. Players must complete quests, gather items and fight the zombie horde with limited ammunition. Game locations include the suburbs, a shopping mall and the town centre.

The game uses a dual analogue stick control system, one stick is used to move the player's character, the other is used to aim the character's weapon. The game has light role-playing elements, such as quests and item creation. Players choose which quests they undertake, allowing non-linear progression and exploration within the game world.{{cite web| url = http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/886226-all-zombies-must-die-review-dead-again| title = All Zombies Must Die! review - dead again| author = Hargreaves, Roger| publisher = Metro| date = 2012-01-03| accessdate = 2012-01-03| archive-date = 2012-01-08| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120108073050/http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/886226-all-zombies-must-die-review-dead-again| url-status = live}}{{cite web| url = http://www.oxmonline.com/all-zombies-must-die-review-0| title = All Zombies Must Die! review| author = Lewis, Cameron| publisher = Official Xbox Magazine| date = 2011-12-28| accessdate = 2012-01-03| archive-date = 2012-01-06| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120106111652/http://www.oxmonline.com/all-zombies-must-die-review-0| url-status = live}}

Players increase their character's level by defeating enemies and collecting items. Items are located in containers such as bins and cupboards. The chosen character can be levelled-up at bases, which also serve as hubs for weapon modifications, for instance allowing the player to create electrified melee weapons.
