The world has ended, the monsters have taken over and your home is about to become the busiest killing zone in the neighbourhood. Welcome to Zombuffoonery, a wave-based survival game where staying alive means building a fortress, deploying deadly defences and turning anything that comes knocking into a rather unpleasant mess.

Available for £8.39 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Xbox Play Anywhere support, Zombuffoonery is published by Brainium Games and developed by Sharkgame. Its mission is straightforward: survive the onslaught and prove that humanity isn’t quite ready to give up.

  • Price: £8.39
  • Publisher: Brainium Games

  • Genre: Wave-Based Survival / Action

Build A Fortress, Then Defend It

Your fortress is more than a place to hide from the incoming hordes. It’s the centre of your survival strategy, giving you the opportunity to build fortifications that slow down the creatures and install turrets capable of doing the messy work for you.

As the waves become increasingly violent, you’ll need to think carefully about how your defences are arranged. A sturdy wall might buy you valuable time, but a well-placed turret could be the difference between another successful wave and having your entire afternoon ruined by monsters.

However, when the defences start struggling, you’ll need to get involved personally. Zombuffoonery provides an arsenal that includes a reliable pistol, a powerful grenade launcher, a bloody axe and deadly knives. That gives you a mixture of ranged and close-quarters options as you attempt to keep the advancing hordes under control. Whether you’re picking off enemies from a distance or getting stuck into the action, every wave presents another opportunity to test your survival skills.

Of course, getting too confident can be dangerous. One mistake could cost you everything, so keeping an eye on your health is just as important as keeping track of the monsters.

Grow Stronger With Every Wave

Defeated enemies drop coins, allowing you to level up and become stronger, faster and more deadly as the challenge escalates. This progression provides a reason to keep pushing through the increasingly aggressive waves, even when the situation begins to look rather grim.

The combination of personal upgrades and fortress improvements means you’ll need to balance your own survival with the strength of your defensive setup. A powerful weapon is useful, but it won’t help much if the creatures have already breached your walls.

Go Hardcore

For players looking for something beyond simply surviving, Zombuffoonery includes 10 hardcore achievements. These offer an additional challenge for anyone determined to prove they’re a genuine monster hunter.

With its blend of base fortifications, turret placement, weapon-based combat and wave survival, Zombuffoonery looks to keep things focused on straightforward monster-smashing action. And at £8.39 from the Xbox Store, it provides Xbox and PC players a chance to discover how long they can hold the line. You may well want to ensure the walls are reinforced before you start celebrating.
