Apocalypse - Zombie City Steam Scream 4 Fest Update

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re all enjoying the Steam Scream 4 Fest. To celebrate, we’ve released an update that adds quite a few new features to the game, mostly focusing on enhancing the weapon systems to give players more variety when taking down zombies.


Update Breakdown

Weapon Categories
We’ve introduced more weapon categories:

  • Melee Weapons

  • Equipment

  • Shotguns

  • Rifles

  • Sniper Rifles

  • Heavy Weapons

  • Ground Combat Systems

  • Air Support

You can currently switch between these weapon types using the number keys 1-8. We also plan to allow full keymapping in the future.

New Weapons
The Ground Combat Systems and Air Support categories introduce new weapons. The other categories mainly reorganize existing guns for easier access, especially as we plan to add more weapons in the future.

Ground Combat Systems include:

  • Machine Gun Turret

  • Rocket Turret

  • Laser Turret

  • Pulse Generator Turret

  • Artillery Turret

Air Support includes:

  • Air Strikes

  • Coin Collection Drone

  • Strafe Run

  • Attack Helicopter

  • Laser Strafe

  • Carpet Bomb

  • Laser Strike

Grenades & Reload Stations

  • The number of grenades has been reduced.

  • You can now purchase grenades at Equipment Reload Stations using points.

  • Air Support and Ground Combat System weapons also have their own reload stations.

Limits

  • Turrets: Max 7 per map

  • Coin Collection Drone: Max 1 per map

Buying beyond these limits will prevent placement of additional units.

Other Notes

  • Turrets currently have unlimited ammo, though we may introduce reloads using points.

  • Turrets may also be upgradable using points in future updates.

  • Zombie animations have been slightly improved.

  • Additional volume settings are now available.


🔮 What’s Next?

Before Early Access, there may be a few more updates. Once Early Access begins, the story mode will gradually be integrated. We also plan to explore:

  • Character selection

  • New game modes

  • Multiplayer support
