There's nothing like some good ol' zombie slaughter to take your mind off the daily drudgery of life. For those in the scary mood, Left 4 Dead is coming out soon and we love the demo. For those in the campy mood, though, there's not much out there to satisfy the sort of action craving one gets by watching Evil Dead or Shaun of the Dead. Zompocalypse is a new indie game that aims to capture this campy, humorous atmosphere while still providing plenty of fun gameplay. We wrote about it on Halloween, but there's some stuff you may have missed.

Taking place during a zombie apocalypse (hence the name), Zompocalypse follows two characters as they fight through hordes of flesh-eating zombies. The character designs are toony and ridiculous, there are bizarre bosses such as the Zombie Pope of Harlem, and the gameplay is a reminder of games long gone. Specifically, it plays like a mixture of Streets of Rage and Metal Slug, mixing pseudo-3D brawling elements with shooting aspects. The game is half-price at the moment as it is still unfinished, and buying it entitles you to the full game once it releases. There is also a flash demo to try out the game as well as an executable demo that can be found right here on Big Download.
