Zombie games and the App Store seem to go together like peas and carrots. I'm not sure what the allure of zombies is, but I'm not one to argue about slaying legions of undead. Developers Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team (Yes, that's their real name) have been working on a sports zombie apocalypse hybrid for quite some time now, and finally seeing it in motion with this gameplay video is truly something to behold.
Details are vague right now, but the developers have provided us this list of things to expect in Pro Zombie Soccer:
- One of the most surreal and funny stories to ever grace a videogame.
- Lots of different zombies for your zombie killing pleasure, all of them with different hit points.
- A powerful blockbuster-type soundtrack and sound design.
- And of course: a nice combo system; different levels; Zombie Odyssey Mode for the hardcore gamers; character skill upgrading system.
If you've watched the video and think there are some strong similarities to the art and animations in Plants Vs. Zombies, it's because Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team is comprised of an international team of seasoned game industry veterans with titles under their belt such as Worms, Vin Diesel's Wheelman, the EyeToy Play series, and Plants Vs. Zombies itself.
Reminds me of a 2D version of Kids Vs. Zombies
The logo kinda reminds me of Mario Strikers. :b
reminds me of ZOMBIE CITY the rebirth of Zombie school… Check out this article frm wired http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/zombie-school/
haha cool. Definitely see some similarities there.
"Reminds" me of an awesome looking game. I almost did a spit take when the space weapon bit came on.
Reminds me of the old ogre/viking football arcade game "pigskin".
This looks like EA's old "Mutant League" series of sports games.

Reminds me of soccer
The game looks pretty cool. I have to admit that I was just a bit disappointed, however, because I watched the video without reading any of the description and I was actually expecting something along the lines of the Mutant League games except with a soccer theme. Now that would really be awesome.
That game looks AWESOME!
And I agree… someone should remake the Mutant League games.
Yeah I also really hoped for an arcade 2d soccer game with zombies… this seems similar to tons of other games, just with a soccer ball
Now that is a mix up of genre I never saw before – nice ^^
I wont pay more than $1 for this.
I'm sorry. This is awesome, and I'm just cheap
I can't wait for it. It looks very well made. Bravo Dev. I hope its as fun as it looks great.
I don't understand you guys, don't say "oh i was hoping that it was a mutant league game", yeah that would be nice, but it's not, it's a complete different game. And i must say, it looks awesome, couldn't hold back laughing ;P
can't wait, good job!
Reminds me of……. oh I forget.
I kill lots of zombies with soccer balls, 'cause it doesn't remind me of anything.
Nice Audioslave reference
arghhh!
lookin at the screenshots i expected a class remake of soccer brawl by snk … then saw the vid
wasted opportunity. great visual style mind.
It's seem like a Tower Defense not a funny football game. But design and animation are so good. I like it ^^ (sorry for my english, i'm a frenchie ^^')
I predict a hit!
