The team I played with wouldn’t have survived the Kamchatka level without a Vanguard blocking entry points. Acting as your team’s tank, Vanguards erect shields to cover doorways or create chokepoints. The new Vanguard class helps mitigate the zombie threat. The original game didn’t include melee weapons, but their inclusion is greatly appreciated. Cracking undead skulls with bats and sledgehammers is sometimes more fun than blasting them away with guns. Newly added melee weapons help you dispense zombies when swarmed or out of ammo. Despite the changed camera angle and adjusted controls, the new FPS mode feels just as solid and natural as the behind-your-character view. After all, firing and traversing environments in third-person view isn't the same as doing it in first-person view. In addition, the mode subtly rebalances shooting and movement to accommodate the different perspective. It brings you closer to the action, and makes gaming sessions more intense.

The new, first-person perspective is a great addition. Horde Mode XL, a part of the game's next-gen patch that's set to arrive in the new year, boosts the zombie numbers on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. If you already own the original game, you can upgrade to Aftermath for $19.99 (with all of your progress transferring over). Aftermath retains these features, while adding new elements that further enhance the terrifying experience. The game emphasizes strong teamwork if you try to Rambo your way through a level, you won’t last long. New Survival Tacticsįor the uninitiated, World War Z is a four-player, third-person, co-op shooter where you complete objectives while fending off zombie waves.

The A$56.95 World War Z: Aftermath takes everything that made the original game successful and adds numerous new features and mechanics. However, the game has grown beyond its licensed origins to become one of the industry's biggest co-op shooters.
