It’s not that surprising on reflection, given that it’s the core gameplay, but it left me feeling weary after I saved six engineers, completed the mission, and then immediately had to go save six naval officers. Some missions will throw a boss your way, which means you’ll fire more at one enemy (although all the bosses in the game are effectively the same), and very infrequently you’ll get to drive a tank which is… the same gameplay, but cooler feeling. Some missions frame it as saving some people, which means you’ll stop on a circle when an area is clear. Drive here, clear this area, drive back, repeat. That’s largely to blame on the fact that all the missions are almost exactly the same. It’s just that it’s fun for about two missions at a time. It’s a satisfying feeling, driving through the streets and side-swiping a big crowd of zombies to death. Controls and tutorials are clear, and it’s definitely of the ‘easy to learn, hard to master’ school of games – handbrake turns and nitro boosting take a while to get used to but are essential for maximising the number of zombies crushed under your wheels in the smallest time possible. All that with no performance issues to speak of, which is nice. If hunting zombies is your thing there are some huge body counts in these missions. ![]() The hordes are surprisingly big and surprisingly dense – you’ll often have over a hundred enemies on screen at once, and as you ram and shoot and burn them you’ll be rewarded with some satisfying particle and gore effects. ![]() The story mode sees you taking on bite-sized missions of about 5 – 10 minutes each, having you heading out from a central base to fight a horde of zombies in your car, using one of four weapons picked up on the road. ![]() I’ll get positive for a moment to start though: what Zombie Driver does, it does well enough. Sadly, this is one title that would have been fine staying in its decade-old grave. Originally Zombie Driver, released for Android phones in 2009, and then Zombie Driver HD on nearly every console from the last ten years, we now get the experience of seeing it shamble back to its portable-esque roots on the Switch. Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition is one of the latest in a long line of Switch ports.
