Archery Blitz

Archery Blitz is a fun puzzle shooter filled with awesome characters, a wide range of arrow types and a whole bunch of crazy looking zombies.

Before starting to learn more about core mechanics and gameplay you may ask what does a granny, a football player, a DJ, and a guy sitting on the toilet have in common. Well, they're all very skilled bow shooters, but what differentiates them is the unique type of arrows that each can make use off to take down all those crazy zombies.

While granny is specialized with normal arrows, the other three guys come with more special arrows in their bag of tricks. For example, the football player has sharp saw arrows that can break wooden objects and go through multiple zombies at the same time, the DJ uses blast arrows that explode on impact, while Harry (the toilet guy) makes use of drill arrows that can pass through soil and explode when touching an enemy.

The awesome aspect, is that each of theses characters can use all types of arrows, but for that you will have to purchase them if your character is not a native shooter of that kind of arrow type.

When it comes to game modes, Archery Blitz is filled with lots of awesome mini-games that add up to the overall fun and shift the balance from a boring puzzle shooter towards a fun and entertaining one that always has something new to throw your way.

For example, there are levels where you'll have to shoot a specific number of zombies using a limited number of different arrows or rescue a captive human from the incoming zombies. Other levels will include a ship that will carry your character through the level similar to a side-scrolling shooter eliminating the static puzzle challenge found in most of the games in the genre.

With its variety of characters, unique arrow types, funny looking zombies and awesome game modes Archery Blitz manages to impress from the very first puzzle making you want to play more and discover what else can the game throw your way.

The mechanics work pretty good, although sometimes you might accidentally shoot 2-3 arrows without intending to do so, but that's just a minor aspect in a game that offers such a wide variety of content.
