Although the "warped theme masked as a cutesy romp" bit has been done before, High Voltage Software's action packed shooter looks like it'll be great, mindless fun. After all, you can only read so much of Hawking's A Brief History of Time before you need to shoot up zombie animals with bloody jubilation. Indeed, Animales de la Muerte paper-thin plot involves a Mexican zoo infected by a generic zombie virus.
Poised to offend Mexicans and PETA alike, the action-shooter seems to share roots with retro games. The gameplay channels Smash TV, where the goal is to fight off zombie animal hordes with automatic weapons in a frantic battle royale. Animal lovers, worry not: part of the objective of Animales de la Muerte is to save the non-infected animals from the infected ones. While it doesn't look as though it will revolutionize the gaming world, it does look as though it will be bloody fun.
