Is Yet Another Zombie Survivors Worth It in 2026?

92/100

This is not a score from this site. 92/100 is the Steam player rating: 13,502 of 14,757 reviews are positive as of 30 August 2026, which Valve labels Very Positive. Metacritic has no critic page for the game, and OpenCritic returns nothing, so there is no aggregated press score to report. The pros and cons below are the themes that recur in the Steam reviews and in launch-week coverage, not a verdict of our own.

Pros

  • ✅ Nine survivors with genuinely different kits, and 1.0 raised every skill tree to five ranks
  • ✅ Runs are short and the whole squad auto-aims, so the difficulty lives in build decisions rather than execution
  • ✅ Three years of Early Access shipped visibly: 229 achievements, five arenas and a full story mode

Cons

  • ❌ Single-player only. Nothing in the game is co-op, which surprises people who read 'squad' as multiplayer
  • ❌ The Nintendo Switch version missed the 20 August launch and still has no date
  • ❌ Four patches in nine days at launch means older guides go stale fast — Friendship was renamed Team Bond on 26 August
