ZOMBIU
ZombiU originally came out as a Ubisoft launch title for the Nintendo Wii U. The game was later ported to current consoles by the name of Zombi. As a launch title for a system that didn’t do so well in terms of sales, ZombiU turned out to be an incredibly terrifying experience that extensively used the Wii U’s Gamepad in a pretty unique way, especially for multiplayer.
During normal gameplay, you would use the touchscreen to manage your backpack of items and weapons. What was really scary was the fact that the game did not pause while you were organizing your inventory so you would literally have to keep checking the television screen to make sure that there weren’t any zombies nearby who would interrupt your tidying up session.
In ZombiU, the multiplayer was unfortunately offline only, but having the Gamepad by your side would make the competitive modes really interesting and a blast to play with a friend. One mode in particular, King of Zombies, would put one player as the king who is able to use the Gamepad to place zombies in certain spawn points, attempting to kill the other player who is controlling a human on the TV screen. As the levels go on, the King can spawn even more powerful zombies as the player gets access to more firepower. King of Zombies makes for a high-octane multiplayer mode that might make test your friendship.
