Boxhead The Zombie Wars

Boxhead The Zombie Wars is a lightweight but tough monster survival game. In it you play a tiny Rambo-like character who’s made out of blocks. In the two game modes, you get to do the same thing, kill as many zombies, mummies, vampires and so on, for as long as you can.

Flash games are generally easy to play and don’t put up much of a fight but with Boxhead The Zombie Wars it’s a different story. The rules of the game are very simple, survive for as long as you can.

Monsters come in waves, and you have to shoot them before they kill you. Each wave gets stronger, and the numbers grow bigger but so does your arsenal. Some monsters drop cubes that reward your skill with extra weapons, upgrades and various objects that can help you survive.

The one thing that might annoy you, but makes the game worth it, is the fact that you control your character and aim your gun using the arrow keys. It’s a lot harder to aim vertically, horizontally and diagonally when there are tens of zombies and vampires chasing you, not to mention that you can’t stop and aim. You just run and gun.

Boxhead The Zombie Wars is a light game, but it certainly packs quite the punch. Apart from the first two levels, you’ll never have time to stop and think about what you need to do. Almost everything will be processed while on the run because they come in great numbers, and although your character might look tough, he’s really fragile.

You can plant oil barrels to take out large groups of zombies, there are barricades to hinder their mobility and after a certain time, you get to deploy defensive turrets. That is if you survive that long. Boxhead The Zombie Wars will keep you on the run and seriously connected to the game.

Although Boxhead The Zombie Wars is a handful, it’s far from being exceptional. However, if you’re looking for a short burst of intense top-view shoot’em up, this one will do just fine.
