Hi everyone. Last week we briefly looked up from Flame Over to discover that OMG HD Zombies! has passed submission at SCEA. While it’s taken FAR longer than we’d hoped I can now announce that OMG HD Zombies! will be released to North American Vita owners on the 29th October 2013, at the undeadly price of $3.99. So, just in time for Halloween! :)
OMG HD Zombies is an enhanced remake of the critically acclaimed OMG-Z which currently sits in the top 10 PSP games of all time on Metacritic.
And with OMG HD Zombies, Laughing Jackal have added a host of exciting new features, including:
New Graphics – OMG HD Zombies has been completely redrawn at PS Vita’s native resolution
More Zombies – 3 new zombie classes have been added and all zombie death animations have been tripled. So…much…gore…
More Levels – 19 brand new levels, plus all existing levels have been re-worked bringing the total to 100 levels of zombie slaying action!
More Upgrades – Now featuring 100 upgrades to unlock!
Trophies – 12 new bronze, silver and gold trophies to unlock.
Online Leaderboards – Compare skills with your PSN friends and the best zombie slayers around the world, across 100+ Leaderboards.
Touch Controls – Choose between traditional controls and the all-new touch control method.
New Comics – 2 new endings, plus more of the story is revealed in the specially extended comic book intro.
Prestige Mode – Complete the game to 100% Platinum standard to unlock Prestige Mode and receive a Leaderboard multiplier. “Prestige” up to 20 times for some truly HUGE scores!
When released in Europe, OMG HD Zombies! was a big hit with the gaming press. PushSquare, for example, awarded it 8/10 saying:
“If you missed out on this clever take on the zombie apocalypse the first time around, then OMG HD Zombies! is a must buy. The fresh undead types and overhauled visuals will offer something new for seasoned slayers, while the sheer satisfaction of the core gameplay loop will delight newcomers.”
The Sixth Axis also gave it 8/10, stating: “Overall OMG HD Zombies! is a great title by Laughing Jackal. The simple aesthetic hides a game that requires you to think before you act, and to conserve your supplies. When a chain is successful it feels great, and those rare occasions where you get 100% clearance are very satisfying.”
Shopto agreed, calling OMG HD Zombies: “...the perfect quick play game for the Vita”
In other news, some of you may remember that we worked on the Steam port of Agarest: Generations of War for our friends at Ghostlight. Well, it looks like we might be putting the experience gained with that port to good use on one of our games in the near future. Ooh, mysterious! :)
That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week, but until then you can join us on our Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google+ pages where we will be posting all the news from Laughing Jackal.
