The Terror Dog Studio team will be celebrating these days due to the surprising situation that their video game has experienced Ultimate Zombie Defense. Perhaps because of the name it is not very familiar to you, something that is partly understandable given the number of players it has managed to gather since the first day it went on sale in 2020.
If we go to SteamDB we can see that during its first months in the form of early access I was not able to gather more than 10 players, although little by little that changed when its final version went on sale at the end of that same year, which raised the number to just over 1,000 people. However, his joy did not last long because the figure immediately deflated tremendously.
Since then, it has been a rare month in which it has managed to exceed 100 players, gathering only a few dozen of them on its servers. This was the case for more than three years until this weekend an impressive event occurred, because On February 11, almost 12,000 players gatheredwhich has represented an increase of more than 14,000%.
All this has been due to the fact that during this last weekend the game was able to be downloaded completely free on the occasion of the announcement of its sequel, Ultimate Zombie Defense 2. Those who have claimed their copy have kept it forever, which has apparently encouraged all these thousands of users to want to give it a try.
It is not that it has managed to maintain that surprising amount, because it has gone down again, although At the time of writing the news there are more than 3,300 people who are playing, which is still a figure significantly higher than that of the last four years. Therefore, there is no doubt that the fact of giving it away has been a strategy that has helped the studio to publicize his work.
Even so, Ultimate Zombie Defense It only costs 3.99 euros (2.67 these days while it is on sale). It is a horror and survival title with a great cooperative component, since groups of four players can gather together to crush waves of zombies in the heart of a European city. Among its features, firearms are essential, but it is also possible to set traps and choose any of the eight available characters.
