Despite the developer’s efforts to slightly extend the combat system from such arcade classics as these, the game’s overall repetitive nature just doesn’t bode well enough to be interesting in the modern day. I could imagine that even purest would easily rather play something like Cadillac and Dinosaurs over Bloody Zombies, and, to be brutally honest, I felt a bit like a bloody zombie playing it.

Critic reviews
- 5.0Bloody Zombies has a confusing existence. On the one hand the gameplay is fun enough to entertain for a few hours, especially if enjoyed with friends, but it lacks enough pull as an original concept to really offer much in the way of innovation. For all intents and purposes this is a very by-the-numbers sidescrolling brawler with a zombie theme that just so happens to let you look around at levels in a VR headset.
- 8.0Thought of as a virtual reality game with the ability for couch co-op via the TV, Bloody Zombies is a fun brawler that has both unique implications for its own genre and VR. That kind of evolution of games and platforms is just what video games need to grow.
- Despite some lovely visuals, there’s not a lot of depth here to make Bloody Zombies memorable. Perhaps it’s down to the limits of the genre in this day and age, but it’s not a game you’re going to be remembering long into the future.
- 6.0Bloody Zombies brings a fresh visual style and a couple of interesting touches to the classic scrolling beat-'em-up. Unfortunately it doesn't flourish where it matters most - the quality and scope of its combat. There's still a fair amount of mindless fun to be had in local multiplayer, even if Bloody Zombies lacks the fluidity and variety to become a true regular on your co-op Switch game roster.
- 6.0Bloody Zombies surge como uma proposta válida no género de luta em cooperação, um estilo que apesar de bastante popular nos anos 90, tem estado afastado dos grandes palcos e não apresenta muitas opções de qualidade na eShop. Pela simplicidade visual e de controlos, quantidade de conteúdo e modo multijogador bem implementado, é uma excelente proposta para jogadores menos experientes neste género, sendo que essa simplicidade poderá afastar jogadores com mais rodagem.
