AC-1Spooky

It is assumed in most zombie apocalypse scenarios that the military would be overwhelmed quite easily. All that high-tech weaponry cannot possibly be that useless, though, and AC-1Spooky is a fun game that lets you see for yourself.

Your instrument of war in this game is the AC-130U “Spooky” gunship, which is equipped with both a chain gun and missiles. It flies high above the battlefield and spreads destruction over a wide area, using a thermal camera to identify its targets.

Of course, zombies don’t actually emit any heat on account of not being very alive; because of this, you will have a very hard time spotting them on the battlefield. If anything, they are colder than their surroundings, so they appear as black shapes moving across the field.

Once they rise from their not-so-eternal slumber, the undead attempt to make their way to a peaceful town that is protected by a surprisingly fragile wall. An alarm is sounded whenever one of them reaches the barrier, and the game ends if the wall is destroyed.

Some of the zombies are faster than others, and you also have to deal with behemoths that can only be brought down with a hail of bullets or a well-aimed missile. Since the projectiles have a long travel time, you have to make sure you fire them ahead of your targets.

Your arsenal consists of a chain gun that can fire a large number of bullets in rapid bursts, as well as a limited supply of missiles, which cause a lot more damage.

There is no question that AC-1Spooky provides you with a very enjoyable experience, but it is a very short game that can be completed in around ten minutes. Also, there are no additional difficulty modes, and we found that dealing with all ten zombie waves is not particularly challenging.

Nevertheless, this is a great title if you have a bit of free time and wish to entertain yourself for a few minutes. There is nothing bad to be said about the graphics or sound effects, and the gameplay simple and fun.
