Nodding a head to the ever popular Goat Simulator franchise, GoatZ is an assertive stride forward into the absurd world of game creation from the minds at Coffee Stain Studios. This latest official addition to our gaming world isn’t afraid to hop on the zombie bandwagon and combines it with the charming ridiculousness of goats. Yes, you heard that right, goats and zombies sharing the same playground. Calling it one of the silliest products from the studio yet wouldn’t be a stretch.
From the imaginative folks who gifted us with the bizarrely entertaining adventures of Goat Simulator, GoatZ continues to champion their brand of unique humor. It doesn’t take itself too seriously as it throws players in a visually appealing yet nonsensical world of goat controlled madness with the added chaos of zombies. Enough to dazzle any and all players ready to dive into this benchmark of wacky entertainment.
How to play
GoatZ thrives on its simplicity. Much like its predecessor, the gameplay revolves around causing as much mayhem as possible within its carefully designed sandbox environment. The catch here is, amid the mindless destruction and pranks, there's the additional challenge of surviving against the game's creatively themed undead.
Your goat possesses a mandatory crafting system, which means you use items within the world to create weapons. It isn't overly complex, but adds a new layer of strategic gameplay to the previously unhinged chaos of the franchise. And, remember zombies are everywhere! Aside from the traditional survival mode, where players must constantly feed their goat to keep it alive, there's also a surprisingly forgiving casual mode. The latter allows players who'd rather avoid the continuous feeding of their virtual goat to still enjoy the game’s antics.
