Zombie Rush

Fans of horror films with a twist that resembles a fever dream by fantasy movie director Tim Burton will absolutely go wild for Zombie Rush, a ghoulishly fun slot game by the geniuses at Leander Games.

Zombie Rush is set at night on an abandoned street; a burning building is on the right, while on the left-hand side you're joined by Max, a young zombie hunter wielding his trusty baseball bat. His friend Claire, who sports a purple hoodie and a sawed-off shotgun, is in the game as well.

We know this sounds incredibly dark, but in that Tim Burton style, the zombies and other creatures are simply too quirky and goofy to be truly scary. And hey, how scary can a game be where there are Free Spinz, with a Z.

During Free Spinz, there are also four different Wild Zombie symbols, with 75x, 500x, and 1500x multipliers for three, four or five matches, respectively. They're triggered by Nuclear Zombie Wilds. They leak their radioactive liquid, making the symbol below them wild, too.

Three Bonus symbols triggers the "Finding Claire" feature, where Max discovers objects in a series of rooms; if you help Max find Claire, you win big.

Otherwise, the interface is standard, with five reels, three rows, and 20 pay lines. Matches trigger small animations of the winning symbol; symbols include Max, Claire, four zombies, a dish of brains, Halloween zombie pumpkins, a street sign, and a table full of homemade weapons.

The dashboard is super easy, without a lot of unnecessary controls. The ambient music is fine, but the gameplay music could be muted as it's a bit brash.
