60 of 179 · most liked firstThis Game is not good. It is GREAT! While it is extremely short, It was one of the best Tower defense games I have ever played (no joke) The animations are awesome The upgrade system is awesome and the achievements are really fair and easy to get Best of all: cheap price! What are you waiting for? Play it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing. From the gameplay to the lore, this game is for casual and hardcore gamers alike. The lore is extremely rich and deep and it will keep you invested. I recommend this to anyone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombo Buster Rising is a casual defense game where you try to stop the zombie horde from reaching your base. The gameplay is simple and the most satisfying part, you aim and shoot with your mouse and use keyboard hotkeys for your abilities. The level design and progression is fair and you won't need to spend time grinding previous levels unless you want 100% completion. The main character wields a pistol and after a few levels you unlock two AI controlled teammates with a sniper and a rocket…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm suprised how good this is. I started this because I wanted to get some cards from my Games. It's so fantastic and well made that 1,5 hrs went into this game without even knowing. Its pretty well made! =) *Recommended*
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I simply love these games :) And for this one in particular I could swear I played it also on Kongregate years ago but I can remember wrong.. Anyways, they always manage to amuse me a lot and keep me addicted with their mechanics and their upgrade systems! Basically it's a 2D shooter: you're on the roof of a building in the very left side of the screen and from the right one there will be waves of zombies (not only zombies of course!) that you have to kill. Each level can be completed with 3…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice time killer which came from mobiles. Obviously, it was inspired by Kingdom Rush. Same menus, style, enemies and etc.. but it's not a TD game. It's an acrade game with the easiest gameplay ever. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1392470002 Zombies attack city. You are the HERO. enemies come from right side of the screen and you stand on level side. Point by mouse and click for attack. Kill all zombies to pass the level. Between level you can spend some diamonds to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short version: Pros: + Inexpensive + Easy to 100% + Enjoyable gameplay + Some variety Cons: - Feels like a mobile/free game - No gun variety “Long” version: Zombo Buster Rising is a 2D shooter developed and published by FIREBEAST. You fight countless waves of zombies and you must prevent them from reaching the main gate. There is a paper-thin story that is nothing more than an excuse to get to the next level – it is basically non-existent.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Frankenstein of a game, ripping off elements from other games like Resident Evil and Plants vs. Zombies, all the way up to Bloons TD and Kingdom Rush. However, the lack of originality doesn't make this game any less fun. ZBR is basic and bare-bones and feels like a mobile port of a game that would shower you with ads and microtransactions, but it does not do that. There are no interferences, upgrading is super straight foward, only 30 levels, achievements cannot be missed and don't require a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a fun little wave defence game with a good amount of upgrades to buy. there are a lot of different enemies and each level feels distinct enough from the others, which is honestly rare in these kinds of games. You control a leon kennedy kinda guy with a pistol, and unlock an a sniper and rocket launcher guy who shoot independently of you which is interesting and adds some rng into the mix, making you pick your targets. Speaking of leon and his pistol, I especially liked how levelling up actually…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My overall rating: 9/10 What is this game about? Zombo Buster Rising is a small but promising indie game that will definitely appeal to those who fancy tower-defense genres. You, the player, are placed in charge of a team of 3 humans armed with varied weapons to kill zombies before they can enter your compound and at the same time, facilitate the safe arrival of human refugees for in-game bonuses. With 30 (+1 boss) levels, 24 different upgrades, 20 different zombies to counter and a total of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little tower defense-esque indie game that is surprisingly well put together. A few hours of content at least, will likely earn all achievements in your first playthrough, any missed are easy to go back and get. The obviously poorly translated English dialogue is pretty silly at times. Got it on sale for less than 50 cents, can't complain too much.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It cost 39p.......39p, that's 53 cents (i think) I got 2 hours of gameplay out of it so that's 19.5p per hour, managed to get all the achievements (it's not a hard game) and I can see where Firebeast got a lot of their ideas for the superior follow up Zombo Buster Advanced, their take on the plants v zombies genre. If this was say £4 it would be a tough recommendation but for just 39p it's probably worth it for the trading cards alone. So yeah recommended :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and short tower defence game , it has 30 levels in total including the final boss It's a bit too easy specially when using the shop items in the final few stages , Nothing new in terms of gameplay or the Zombies design ( Which i Dislike ) but it's fun for the duration of 2-3 hours to complete the game , and if you want to get all the achievements you'll need to re-play some of the levels ( grind ). Overall not bad and i recommend it for it's low price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice tower defence that I picked up on the cheep. It was totally worth the money I spent. I am not big on long reviews. So I give this game a 8/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Expand base, protect your buns from zombie creatures and win. Not amazing but for TD fans it gets the job done.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Fun Filled Shoot,em zombies: Zombo Buster Rising is a 2-D styled horde mode zombie shooter akin to plant vs zombies. Gameplay: Its a 2-D styled gameplay with your character and companions on 1 side and the zombies coming from other side. You earn coins by killing zombies through which you upgrade yours and your companion's weapons. There is a life meter in the form of lives to be protected. Protecting all of them gives diamonds through which you can upgrade abilities which can turn the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice short game where you shoot waves of zombies from the roof using a pistol (which you then upgrade to an SMG) with the help of a sniper and rocket launcher NPCs. Lots of upgrades and different enemies, 1 final boss, easy achievements and a fun little game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple, cheap, enjoyable game with easy achievements (finished 100% in 2.6 hours)👍
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, with nice soundtrack, fun artwork and somehow resembles Plants vs Zombies - you have to upgrade your killing abilities while meeting new types of zombies with own traits. Zombies look cartoonish, just like they did in PvZ. Bigg zombies, Disco Dancers, Zombies with Baloon... you'll meet many of our old friends here :) I play it as native Linux port on Debian 9, works perfectly, no issues found. 10/10. Definitely recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun flash style zombie game! can be pretty difficult at times but with some item use at the right times you can make it through with 100% achievements. Not a bad game at all, these retro style flash games hold a special place in my heart, it has some funny references to some internet memes and pop culture which I love! and the art style is fantastic! Affordable and fun! give it a shot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 Experience: Brain? Off. Fingers? Cramping. Vibes? Immaculate. Zombies? Busted.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple but at the same time very enjoyable tower defense game. You can complete the game in a few hours with 100% achievements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i enjoyed playing this game, it was nice for some variety! it's a very small game, quick to complete (100% achievements and everything ingame) and the price also reflects that which is good. recommended for sure if you're looking for a game that's not really super intensive. some levels are more tougher for sure, but on other levels it's even pretty chill. just hold LMB to shoot instead of spamclicking and you're golden :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to play this in the hopes of spending my time with a decent Tower Defense game but unfortunately it ended up being far below my expectations. I thought it looked and played like a mobile game but according to the discussions section it was actually a flash game, which I wouldn't mind at all, if the game was good. Just repeat the stages you cannot beat, collect enough money, and voilà! You'll find yourself completing the whole game in under 3 hours. On top of that there are extra powerful…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tiny little time-killer empty-brainer kinda TD game. Very similar to many other games of the genre and seems like a mobile port. Not bad at all for what it claims to be. Easy 100%.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly just bought this game and played it purely for nostalgia. I do miss 'Mighty knights' and kinda wish that the fire beast developers upload them at steam or something. Anyways this game is a good time killer and relaxing at times as well
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun but super obvious this is some kind of mobile port that had microtransactions. Very short and grindy at times, good for a single evening filled with mindless fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad, enjoyable game, kill zombies and finish the mission to earn coins, then upgrade your skills and teammate skills the game looks like for all ages
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombo Buster Rising Summary: A casual tower defense shooter, in which you need to eliminate zombies before they breach your bunker. You have the help of two AI NPCs in defeating the undead. Pros: -Very casual and easy to pick up and play. The plethora of credits dropped to upgrade your characters ensures easy progression. -Cheesy but rather entertaining story. -It has trading cards -Steam Achievements, which are relatively easy to obtain if you put some time into it. -It's cheap,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombo Buster Rising is a fast, fun, zombie shooting tower defense game. It has cute graphics, decent sounds and functions quite well. There are multiple zombie types, weapon upgrades, and items to purchase. I beat the game in 3 hours with 100% achievements. A great little time killer!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poorly optimized... Can barely get the game to run
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →funny childhood flash game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice easy cheap tower defense game for killing time unfortunately it's just 1 map but the zombies gets stronger and some have abilities. you play with the a guy who has a pistol with 2 bots 1 has a sniper and the other has a rocket launcher you can upgrade the weapons of any of these characters to help you through the game (Using money which can be obtained by killing zombies or saving soldiers), and there are some special powers too which can only be upgraded by using stars which can be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An easy Tower Defense Game What this game is: A zombie themed casual Tower Defense game. How does it work? You have to survive zombie attacks to your base while awaiting some eventual help. You start alone and acquire some teammates with your successful defense in the first sets of attacks. Each wave of attack is made by increasingly diverse and sophisticated zombies with new abilities. You can upgrade your weapons and their capabilities by winning each set of attacks and acquiring…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a good "base-defending" tower defense game. Get some upgrades and kill zombies!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For 35 cents, this game is a decent purchase. It's basically a simple zombie shooter game. The objective is to defend the base with the assistance of two AI characters, beat level-after-level rewarded with Coins for character upgrades corresponding to kills during a level and Gems for perks corresponding to lack of damage taken during the level. The final boss marks the game's end, and you unlock endless mode after completion. The difficulty is inconsistent. Most levels are an absolute joke,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ready to wade through waves of zombies like a kid in a splash park, except with more guts and less water? This game blends classic 2D side-scrolling with modern thrills. AI-assisted NPCs join your quest, making the apocalypse a team effort. With its trio of super abilities, you'll transform from a mere survivor into a certified undead obliterator. These powers give you a sensation akin to gaining superhero status while battling hordes of zombies. Of course, no self-respecting zombie hunter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually a fun little game. does not take too long to complete and it's done well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Video review is available here: https://youtu.be/qj7tYYzZ1KU Is Zombo Buster Rising a good action tower defense game or not? What I like about it - the sense of humor, system of weapon upgrades, system of skills improvement, balanced economic model, variability of enemies, challenging yet not frustrating difficulty, simple and precise controls and nice graphics. What do I dislike? Dull story, absence of hero choosing, just one generic environment, absence of dubbing and the fact that the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombo Buster Rising is a fun simple tower defense game with a few tweaks. I recommend this game if you have a few dollars in your account and don't know what to buy, but beware that the game only supports about 2 hours worth of gameplay. If your an achievement hunter, this is an easy game to get 100% achievements on
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36214917/]Curator Group for more reviews Zombo Buster Rising is a tower defense game, styled after many different web games and mobile games that follow the same formula. ZBR plays about how you would expect it. No flashy new mechanics or twists on standard genre ideas. It just focuses on executing a tried and true formula. It generally succeeds, but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of originality. It has some extremely obvious kingdom…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombo Buster Rising is a woefully limited, simplistic clicker/upgrade simulator where you click on zombies until they're dead. It's like the developers asked if it was possible to make tower defense games less interesting, and came up with the idea of removing the towers. Needless to say the resulting gameplay is terribly boring. This looks and feels like a tablet port, which is another black mark against the game, it shouldn't be on Steam. It's possible to play other editions of this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple game. just hold click. A bit pushy to call this a Tower defence. Wave coming and need to shoot it all. Perks are ok, Game is short: 1/2h for beating all the levels. then 1/2h for farming money to have your "heroes" level max and enough money to buy the extra stuff to beat the boss. Good for one or two evenings depending if you want the 100% or not.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have no idea why the stupid and pointless changes-its not remaster after all, yet devs tried to make it look like it-key word: TRIED. Other than that: -Final boss spawns his totems way too close to the base, and spams them way too often-combined with waves of enemies (including enemies that summon other enemies and/or boost whole horde) is just too hard for no reason -Constant bugs like mouse losing focus/not firing when LMB is held,skills not working when given key is clicked or weird…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is ok play the flash one is free
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent Simple flash era like game Good Decent gameplay Game constantly throws new enemies and mechanics at you, it doesn't feel too repetitive or simple Great music You sometimes have to farm some golds by redoing the same missions but it's not too much Achievements are great, just complete the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was ready to give this game a good review but the last level is seemingly impossible unless you buy a lot of shop power-ups which would cost an awful lot of money. You don't get anywhere close to winning otherwise. I can't fault the game in any other way. If it weren't for the difficulty it would be great.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your standard Armor Games-esque upgrade game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish the game was longer... Maybe chapter 2? 3? I completed all the achievments and I could still refund it if I wanted xd. Fun game to kill some time. I'd recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was actually pretty fun considering how old it is and how cheap I got it for.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite standard last stand-type game. Not exactly Tower Defense as advertised as there are no towers. Not exactly Line Defense either as you don't control your forces positions. Extended flash-game that could have at least little more dialogue writing on to have some meat over bones. No bugs or crashes. Easy and when you don't success first you can grind old missions. Guess this might be good game to let your visiting younger siblings play due cartoony graphics and easy controls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have 100% achievements and have 0 recollection of playing it. It may have been a decent really cheap distraction at one point. However, it is very unmemorable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun while it lasted! One of the best Casual games I have played. Good graphics, and nice upgrades and skills. I completed this game with 100% achievements in 2.5 hours, can be completed in a single seating, and did not get bored even a single second! It's really cheap too. Would definitely recommend buying it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazingly, this old game works perfectly on Steam Deck! (Touch screen controls only, but that's fine for the game.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zombo Buster Rising is an excellent shoot'em up with a wide variety of enemies (both on land and in the air) and extra weapons (nuke, freeze etc.). Your goal is to prevent hordes of various zombies reaching your base and taking you out. As you progress through the levels, you'll gain two additional AI-characters who will help you out during the onslaughts. You can also upgrade weapons and capabilities in the in-game shop, as well as purchasing medikits and nukes. This costs coins, which you…

Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.49 Or Less During Sale
