Technically speaking, they’re not zombies. The disaster that has struck aboard The Anacrusis’ retrofuturist starship is really more of a facehugger situation, allowing the game to have its hordes-of-undead cake while also dressing it up in ’70s science-fiction kitsch. Still, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that this fourplayer co-op survival shooter finds itself in the most crowded marketplace since Dawn Of The Dead’s shopping mall. The Anacrusis arrives in Early Access only a few weeks after GTFO exits it, and precisely one week before presents its triple-A take on the formula, with the likes of and also on the horizon.
