Zomborg, a top-down post-apocalyptic twin-stick shooter, is now available as a free game on Steam. This title generally goes for $4.99, but it is available at $0 until October 06, 2025.

A top-down post-apocalyptic shooting title named Zomborg is now available as a free game on Steam. However, this $0 game deal will remain active for a limited time, expiring on October 06, 2025, at UTC 16:00.

As for the game itself, Zomborg became available on Steam in November 2017, and so far, it has received around 130 reviews. Among them, 59% are positive, making this currently free game achieve the "Mixed" player rating.

The game puts players in a post-apocalyptic world that has been plagued by a deadly virus outbreak. Players fill the shoes of highly skilled mercenaries tasked to fight the hordes of zombies, and the waves can get very challenging at times. The open-area levels offer a wide range of missions, and there are 10 different weapon types.

According to players who have tried it, this currently free Steam game can be engaging, thanks to its meaningful difficulty spikes. Many have also praised the customizable characters and the nice variety of weapons. However, the game's NPC implementation is noted to be weak by some, as NPCs tend not to be helpful all the time.

Its lack of checkpoints has also been criticized by some, as this means that the players get only one life per life. While this is a good thing for those who like challenging games, it can become a point of frustration in very difficult levels.

Other than that, Zomborg is regarded as a good starting point for those who want to get into the twin-stick shooter genre. It has solid basics and offers a good level of customization. You can learn more about this currently free game on Steam from the video below.
