Yet Another Zombie Survivors FAQ

No. The Steam store page lists Single-player and nothing else — there is no online co-op, no local co-op, no crossplay. The confusion is understandable: you command a squad of up to three survivors, and the marketing says 'assemble your squad'. But you control all of them at once, and they aim and fire on their own. Every 'multiplayer' feature in the game is asynchronous: Steam Leaderboards, and Family Sharing for the licence itself.

No, but they are by the same studio and share a universe. Yet Another Zombie Defense HD is the older top-down base-defence game; Yet Another Zombie Survivors is the 2023 bullet-heaven roguelite that left Early Access on 20 August 2026. The link is acknowledged in-game: the achievement named 'Yet Another Zombie Defense' asks you to have three different turret-type abilities deployed at once.

229 as of version 1.0.0c. Version 1.0 added 88 of them on its own, and 64 of those 88 are Story achievements tied to the new mission system. This site lists all 229 with their exact unlock conditions.

Not yet. The studio confirmed on 15 August 2026 that 1.0 would launch simultaneously on Steam, GOG, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series, with the Switch version 'to follow soon after'. No Switch date has been announced since. For Switch 2, the studio said in May 2026 that it is not yet approved for Switch 2 development and is waiting on a devkit.

It is a joke item and one of the game's oldest running gags — the studio has been posting pictures of it since at least March 2025. Obtaining one unlocks the achievement “Why'd You Pick That?”. It is also tangled up with Sanji the Rabbit: the achievement “Curly Little Potato” is earned by finding Sanji, not by picking up a potato. Version 1.0 swapped both rewards: “Why'd You Pick That?” now grants Great Nade instead of Skip Rope, and “Curly Little Potato” grants Easter Egg instead of Jade Amulet.

It was renamed Team Bond in patch 1.0.0c on 26 August 2026. Same mechanic: completing missions permanently raises the Cash and Specialization Points the whole team earns at the end of a run. The same patch capped it at 250, because an uncapped value made the 'Survivor Crossing' torment impossible to obtain. Guides written before 26 August still call it Friendship.

Nine survivors — SWAT, Tank, Engineer, Huntress, Ghost, Medic, Pyro, Mechanic and Ranger — and five arenas: The Isolated City, Vile Wasteland, Green Hell, Dead Terminal and Bio Lab. Ranger and Bio Lab both arrived with 1.0. Ranger unlocks at Survival Level 175; Bio Lab unlocks after you clear Dead Terminal on Default difficulty.

No. It is a paid single-player game with no promo-code system, no redeem screen and no live-service currency. Any site listing 'working codes' for it is describing a feature the game does not have.

Yes — it was rated Steam Deck Verified in November 2025, and the studio announced it in a dedicated post on 27 November 2025. Steam Deck interest spiked again at the 1.0 launch, making it one of the fastest-rising searches for the game.

The studio runs an official Discord at discord.gg/m4JfXuS and posts as Awesome Games Studio on X, Bluesky, Facebook and Instagram. Patch notes go up on the Steam news feed first, which is where every version number and figure on this site is checked against.

$14.99 USD, discounted 35% to $9.74 at the 1.0 launch. There is a free demo on Steam, and demos also exist on PS4 and PS5. There is no Switch demo — the studio explained that eShop will not host a demo until the full version ships there.

There is no single credits roll, but 1.0 added a defined main storyline of 15 consecutive missions, plus 45 survivor missions (five for each of the nine survivors) and 19 repeatable ones. The 'Release' achievement is the one that marks completing the main storyline. Beyond that the game is built around Survival Level, which has achievements at 100, 200, 300 and 400.
