Apple Arcade - Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes (2020) [/]
Oct 30 2023
Zombie Rollerz is a zombie-themed medieval fantasy pinball game.
Each level is a pinball layout with flippers on the bottom (no middle dead zone so if you leave the flippers down the ball can't exit) and a rounded field with areas you can get to, some with more flippers.
There are zombie generators which pop up zombies that then move slowly down towards you. Hit a zombie with a ball, or hit a generator with a ball, to do damage and eventually kill the zombie or destroy the generator. You also have special powers which power up as you do damage and then you release for effects like fireball or multi-ball.
When a zombie reaches the bottom you take damage and you can use the flippers to hit the zombies. Take enough damage and you lose the game.
Fairly good graphics and sound. Gameplay is ok, pinball like though arcade pinball not realistic pinball.
This game reminds a bit of The Pinball Wizard (2019), also on Apple Arcade. The Pinball Wizard feels more like a pinball game. Zombie Rollerz seems to have so much frenetic combat and things exploding that you don't have strategic hitting the ball like in pinball (though Zombie Rollerz helpfully, as a ball rolls along a flipper, show you with a curved arrow exactly where the ball will go).
Kind of an entertaining game though a bit too random for me.
Update: Oops, another game that left Apple Arcade.
