Steam hosts increasingly peculiar festivals. The latest is the Zombies vs. Vampires Festival, which aims to highlight zombie and vampire games. It wasn’t hard to imagine. This means that many of these games have juicy discounts. But which discounts should you not miss? That’s what we want to uncover for you. We have sifted through the best deals so you don’t miss out on something truly juicy. Whether you prefer zombies or vampires, there’s definitely something for you here.
Nightmare of Decay – €1.19 (-70%)
If you like the first three Resident Evil games but have always wanted them to be a bit like Half Life, you should treat yourself. For less than the price of a coffee, you can get Nightmare of Decay, a game clearly inspired by Resident Evil that has been acclaimed by both critics and the public, and is perfect for brightening up a silly weekend. The kind of game we love to see at these ridiculous prices: the ones we start during coffee time and finish just in time to start making dinner.
Left 4 Dead Bundle – €1.46 (-90%)
Perhaps what you want is to be able to put in as many hours as possible for the least amount of money. In that case, think about this. Again, what a coffee costs, approximately. Two games: both Left4Dead. With three friends, you have dozens of hours with the base games, but considering they have been modded for years, you could probably put in hundreds of hours. If not thousands. You can spend less than two euros and not play anything else until 2030 if you don’t want to.
The Walking Dead – 1.47€ (-90%)
Zombies are cheap, but of course: they come in masses. If you want an excellent game for just a penny more than what both Left 4 Dead would cost you, you should get this masterpiece from Telltale that is better than any season of the TV series. With approximately 13 hours ahead, it also lasts as long as a season of the series, approximately. So it seems like the perfect time to try it if you are a fan of the series and have never given it a chance.
Death Road to Canada – 2.99€ (-80%)
Imagine having to survive the zombie apocalypse in a country where firearms cannot be bought in a supermarket. This is the premise of Death Road to Canada, a game where we will have to travel by car across the country from city to city recruiting characters, gathering supplies, and finding ways to survive. A fascinating roguelike, incredibly fun, and offering countless hours of entertainment. However, don’t expect to shoot much: this is not the USA.
You Will Die Here Tonight – 4.87€ (-75%)
Imagine Resident Evil, but where the camera switches to first person during battles. And where the STAR team, upon arriving at the mansion and separating, every time one dies, we would have to embody a different one to continue the adventure. That is exactly what You Will Die Here Tonight proposes to us, a clear homage to Resident Evil, with its own personality, that for less than 5 euros you must play if you are a fan of the Capcom franchise.
KeeperRL – €10.07 (-40%)
Changing the subject a bit, imagine being an evil villain who wants to end the forces of good. What would you do? Build your own dungeon and ally with terrible minions to defeat them, of course. And that’s what KeeperRL is about. A great retro-style roguelike that involves building and managing our dungeon and trying to prevent the forces of good from defeating us. And why is it at the Zombie and Vampire Festival? Because we can recruit zombies and vampires, obviously.
El Paso, Elsewhere – €13.65 (-30%)
One of the most acclaimed indies of 2023 reaches its lowest price to date. Like Max Payne, but with a tragic story about a vampire hunter with addiction issues who must take down his ex-girlfriend, Draculea, who wants to end the world. If that’s not enough to sell you on it, we can add that it’s a game as frantic as it is absolutely exquisite narratively and artistically, with one of the best soundtracks in recent years. An absolute delight that could only come from Strange Scaffold.
DayZ – 23.99€ (-50%)
Probably the most famous zombie game out there. DayZ is a game that has been a hit among survival game fans since its release in 2018, being one of the most celebrated and played games on Steam. Now you can get it for an absolutely ridiculous price, especially considering the insane amount of hours you can dedicate to it. A sweet deal that, trust us, if you connect, you won’t be able to get out of it.
