Over 9000 Zombies! has sound shooting mechanics and an interesting focus on crafting, but together these mechanics do not prove to work well, with the game suffering an apparent identity crisis.
Contributor Shane Viernum pens "It is truly a classic top-down shoot-em-up as it intended to be. The few faults I could find in the game were easily overcome by the intensity, intuitive controls, and scaling difficulty of each subsequent night."
"Blasty, blasty, shooty, shooty goodness, but bring a friend: Over 9000 Zombies! is a fun shooter which is much, much better in co-op"
TwoDashStash: "Over 9000 Zombies! is a top-down-shoot ‘em-up with an 8bit aesthetic. It is ultra-violent as the player can rack up tens of thousands of kills in one match. This, together with the music and the feedback from firing weapons makes the game incredibly satisfying to play. However, it is plagued by desynch issues, meaning that playing online with friends is almost impossible."
