Dead Nation - Housemarque Launch Trailer

Dead Nation is a top-down shooter where you fight through a zombie apocalypse across ten levels. The core loop involves eliminating hordes of the undead to earn money and score multipliers, which are used at checkpoints to upgrade weapons. Taking damage reduces both health and score multipliers. Progression involves strategic looting of containers and cars for resources, while surviving dynamic scenarios where you must hold out against waves until an objective is met. This main game, originally released in 2010, blends intense shooting with hack and slash elements.
