Survive Zombie Hordes in Co-op Overhead Shooter ‘Final Days’

Published

on

Hotline Miami was cool. And GARAGE: Bad Trip is splattery good fun. But what if you’re in the mood for some co-op action in the vein of those two games? Lucky for you, +7 Software has their upcoming overhead zombie shooter, Final Days.

Currently in Early Access, the game is set to launch on September the 18th for $7.99USD (though the Early Access price is $4.99). As mentioned, the game features online co-op, with up to 16 players online. If going online isn’t your thing, you can go old-school with up to four players split-screen. You can also have up to four bots to provide you with extra backup if you need it.

The story for the game casts you as one of the few survivors after war has left much of your city’s remaining population mutated into bloodthirsty monsters. As the ever-growing hordes increase, you’ve got to band together with your team to survive the onslaught.

Did I mention that +7 Software is just one person? Well, now you know. Head over to the game’s Steam page and get shooting.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
